UPDATE (12/26/21)

ANNOUNCEMENT: As of yesterday, both Sketchbook locations are requiring proof of vaccination if you want to sit and have a beer. We are instituting this requirement in response to the dramatic increase in COVID cases and after much discussion and research. All bars and restaurants will be required to enforce these rules soon, but we see no reason to wait.

Thank you so much for abiding by our rules and for your loyalty! We are all so weary of this pandemic, and Sketchbook acknowledges the complexity of the situation. Here are some questions you might have.

WHAT KIND OF PROOF DOES SKETCHBOOK ACCEPT? Proof of vax can be a digital image, a paper copy, or a listing on a VAX app that manages and stores digital records like Illinois Dept of Public Health. You will also need to submit a photo ID.

DO I NEED TO BE BOOSTED TO SIT DOWN? No, but we encourage everyone to get the booster!

DO I NEED VAX PROOF TO BUY BEER TO GO? Nope. Just a mask. Don't forget you can speed things along by pre-ordering online.

ANY OTHER CHANGES INSIDE THE TAPROOM? Bar seating has been discontinued at both locations, until further notice. Plenty of seating otherwise.

ANY EXCEPTIONS? Medical Exemption: Individual must provide proof of the medical exemption and also a negative COVID test from within the last 24 hours.

I JUST BECAME A MEMBER--WHAT HAPPENS NOW? You can still claim your growler fills (or substitute a 4-pack) and enjoy your membership benefits (10% off all beer draft and to-go). You get 20% off merch too! P.S. We're still signing folks up through the end of January. If you have any questions or concerns email Alice.

WHERE CAN I READ THOSE RULES? Here is the Cook County ordinance and here is the Skokie Health and Human Services ordinance

Please note that our taproom staff is fully vaccinated, and is testing weekly for COVID-19.
