The Lone Buffalo is owned by Tangled Roots, where craft beer meets great food in a welcoming, small-town atmosphere.

We brew locally, serve chef-driven dishes, and create unforgettable experiences. Ottawa, IL is home to The Lone Buffalo, our first restaurant and the home of our original craft brewery. It’s also home to our hops and barley farm, whose crop we use to create our authentic Farm to Foam beers. At the heart of the Lone Buffalo are the large twin copper brewing kettles, imported from Bavaria, and admired and enjoyed by fans far and wide.

Happy Halloween! It's officially the one day of the year when being a little spooky is encouraged, candy counts as dinner, and nobody questions your questionable fashion choices.

No matter your costume (or lack thereof), there's no better way to celebrate than with a wickedly good brew.

Stop by your favorite Tangled Roots location, grab a pint, and raise a glass to all things spooky. Or, grab a 4-pack and celebrate at home!

Embrace Your Nature.

Make it your own with grilled chicken, salmon, or steak.

Fresh, flavorful, and anything but ordinary. Find it on our new Fall Features Menu at Tangled Roots!
