About The Open Bottle
The Open Bottle is a craft beer shop and taproom in Lockport. It opened in 2015 in Tinley Park and added the Lockport shop in 2021. Four years later the family-owned business moved its full focus to Lockport.
The shelves hold more than 300 bottles and cans, and 12 draft lines pour at the bar. Cider, mead, wine, spirits, craft cocktails and non-alcoholic options round out the list. Crowlers and 8oz mini-growlers let you take draft beer home.
