St. Nicholas Brewing Co.

Nestled at 12 S Oak St in downtown Du Quoin, Illinois, St. Nicholas Brewing Co. blends a brick‑and‑reclaimed‑wood interior with vintage bicycle décor that nods to its St. Nicholas Cycling program. Open Monday‑Thursday 12 pm‑10 pm, Friday‑Saturday 12 pm‑11 pm, and Sunday 12 pm‑8 pm, the brewpub serves a rotating tap list featuring house‑crafted staples such as St. Nick’s Imperial Stout, Du Quoin Lager, and the seasonal Christmas in July Ale. Chef Mike Anderson’s kitchen offers signature dishes like the St. Nick’s Burger topped with smoked cheddar and caramelized onions, a slow‑smoked brisket taco with pickled red cabbage, and a creamy three‑cheese mac & cheese that pairs perfectly with the crisp Du Quoin Lager. Prices range from $8‑$20 for pints and $12‑$30 for entrees, making it an affordable spot for locals and travelers alike. Live music on weekends showcases regional talent, while community events—like the annual 12th Anniversary Party and the Haunted Hotel storytelling night—keep the calendar lively. Catering services extend the brewpub’s flavor to weddings, corporate gatherings, and Southern Illinois festivals, with custom beer flights and a menu that can be tailored to any occasion. Just a short drive from Southern Illinois Airport and a few blocks from the historic Du Quoin Courthouse, St. Nicholas Brewing Co. is a convenient, welcoming hub for craft‑beer enthusiasts and food lovers exploring the heart of Southern Illinois.
