The Lucky Monk, a brewpub based in South Barrington, is moving forward with plans to open a new location at 1461 Butterfield Road in Downers Grove, Illinois, previously occupied by Emmett's Ale House. The establishment is seeking a Class R-3/O liquor license, which would allow it to sell liquor, beer, and wine for both onsite and offsite consumption, including outdoor service. The proposed hours of operation are Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. The Lucky Monk's draft menu features a variety of offerings, including small-batch craft beers brewed in-house, cocktails, ciders, and mocktails, alongside food options such as truffle fries, tacos, burgers, and pizza. The Liquor Commission is scheduled to review the license application during a meeting on June 11 at 6:30 p.m.
