"When you think of downtown Rockford, you think of The Old Mill."
The Old Mill has been a restaurant since the 1970s and is one of the most recognizable buildings in Rockford. After a full remodel it reopened as The Old Mill, Beer City Bread Co., with the original character intact and a menu built around the bread we bake with craft beer.
Quote from Rockford City Manager Thad Beard, FOX 17.
