West End has historically been home to Evanston’s industrial and manufacturing businesses. Today, the neighborhood includes Temperance Brewing Company, Evanston Rebuilding Exchange, and other manufacturing companies. Sit out on Temperance’s patio and play board games or check out the district’s collection of businesses focused on recreation, wellness, and the arts.

And while there, don’t forget to visit the Valli Produce grocery store, featuring ingredients from all over the world.
