If you’re looking for a low-pressure date night in downtown Naperville that’s more interactive than dinner but less intense than a full escape room, Naper Settlement’s Craft by Beer series might surprise you. These 21+ evenings combine themed hands-on activities, trivia, and a drink in a relaxed tavern setting — all for $20.
Each session includes one complimentary drink ticket with admission and features a different theme, ranging from science and history to crafts and seasonal celebrations. We attended the “Science Trivia and Test Tubes” session to see what it was all about, and left impressed by how thoughtfully the evening was structured.
Below, you’ll find details on how Craft by Beer works and what you can expect if you book a future date night.
