Founded in 1836 during the construction of the I&M Canal, and now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, experience real history, great eats and drinks, and adventure in Lemont Downtown.

You can’t fake real, and you don’t have to when you have the most picturesque terrain in Chicago and the best outdoor activities in the Midwest. Our downtown eateries, taverns, and shops are nestled into our hills and housed in original limestone buildings stamped with the names of families who have been here for generations. In these buildings, you’ll find local makers who took a leap to create one-of-a-kind food, shops, and experiences. 

Lemont Downtown is home to the award-winning Pollyanna Brewing and Taproom. Hungry Hound visitedWooden Paddle for their American wood-fired pizza and shared plates. Chicago’s Best conquered the famous one pound Nick Burger at Nick’s Tavern and praised La Dolce Vita for their upscale Italian-American classics. Located 5 minutes by bike from The Forge: Lemont Quarries - the largest aerial park in North America! - Lemont Downtown is built for adventure. Come experience Lemont Real.
