Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Nicki Bryniczka and Max Berlow
Max and I have picked a few of our favorite spots around the venue that we’ve grown to love — we’re big foodies and hope these recommendations help you enjoy the area as much as we do!

Moontime Smokin' Que

88 Railroad Street, Crystal Lake, IL 60014

A great BBQ spot for dinner- we recommend the fried pickles!

Duke's Alehouse and Kitchen

110 North Main Street, Crystal Lake, IL 60014

Some of the best farm to table food in the area. Max loves their Togarashi fries.

Cantina 52

52 Brink Street, Crystal Lake, IL 60014

You need to try their Margarita flights!

Crystal Lake Brewing

150 North Main Street, Crystal Lake, IL 60014

Large brewery with plenty of outdoor seating. They always have plenty of beer options on tap + flights to try.

Uncle Jerry's Pizza Company

133 West Main Street, Cary, IL 60013

Their pizza is incredible- a delicious tavern style pie. Get the sweet stinger and add some goat cheese. Thank us later! They also have a butcher shop inside. We always grab some Ghost Pepper beef sticks.

Tracks Bar & Grill

108 West Main Street, Cary, IL 60013

They have so many delicious burgers to choose from. Lots of TVs and outdoor seating as well.

Windhill McHenry

3307 West Elm Street, McHenry, IL 60050

For those looking for a breakfast option- this place has every option you can imagine. Max recommends their biscuits and gravy. Nicki loves their Mexican skillet!

Whiskey Diablo

1325 Riverside Drive, McHenry, IL 60050

Sit at the bar and order yourself the Mango Tango margarita 10/10!

Crystal Lake Metra Station

28 East Woodstock Street, Crystal Lake, IL 60014

For those looking to explore Downtown Chicago, you can take the NW UP Metra train. It's about an hour and 15 minute ride.
