Draft Beer Line Cleaning and Draft System Service in River North
River North covers the corner of the Near North Side between Michigan Avenue and the Chicago River, running north from the river to about Chicago Avenue, though some definitions reach Division Street. The Merchandise Mart and the twin towers of Marina City stand along its riverfront, and the area made its name as a center for art galleries in the 1980s.
Today it is one of the city's main nightlife districts, especially on and around Hubbard Street, where multi-level clubs, rooftop bars, cocktail lounges with live music and restaurant bars sit close together. Steakhouses, supper and jazz clubs, music venues, piano and tiki bars, and restaurants along the river fill the surrounding blocks.
A multi-level venue may feed bars on several floors from one cooler, and a busy weekend can empty kegs fast. Systems like that depend on balanced lines, cold trunk lines and a gas supply that keeps up. In River North we clean and rebalance lines on schedule, service glycol chillers and gas equipment, and install or rebuild systems for new openings and renovations.
River North is one of the downtown neighborhoods in our Chicago service area. See the Chicago page.

Common questions
Could we make our own nitrogen instead of buying cylinders?
Yes. A nitrogen generator separates nitrogen from the air on site and feeds a gas blender, which mixes it with CO2 for blended-gas and nitro lines. You still need a CO2 supply, but the nitrogen side no longer depends on cylinder deliveries. Gas blenders and nitrogen.
Do you also cover Streeterville and the Magnificent Mile?
Yes. Both are part of the Near North Side, like River North and the Gold Coast, and both sit inside city limits, so they fall within our Chicago coverage. Our Chicago page.
