About us

In March of 2017 , the Svobodas opened Freedom Brothers Pizzeria & Alehouse in Plainfield. Svoboda means freedom in Slavic languages. And together, the brothers have creative freedom doing what their family does best. Their ancestors owned and operated Svoboda’s Nickelodeon Tavern in Chicago Heights for 80 years.

Talk of opening a restaurant of their own started after Corey worked for a Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix where he fell in love with wood-fired, brick oven pizza. So the Svobodas bought a 12,000-pound brick oven and shipped it from Texas to 11914 S. Route 59 in Plainfield. The brothers said they’re meeting a niche in the restaurant industry of craft beer, craft cocktails, farm-to-table organic, never frozen ingredients and their true passion of rock & roll. There are a lot of transplants from Chicago who may be looking for something different than a suburban pizza chain, well now you have it.

This is not a sports bar, however sports will be on a few of the many TV's. The diners will be entertained by their favorite rock legends such as AC/DC and Foo Fighters performing at concerts on the remaining screens. It will be a little louder than most restaurants but this isn't just any old restaurant. When was the last time you went to a quiet rock concert?

Freedom Brothers features 23 beers on tap, with a large portion from local breweries, a huge whiskey list with well over 200 whiskeys, an amazing wine list and craft cocktails created by the staff.

"We hope you enjoy our passions, pizza, beer, whiskey and rock and roll".
