Stopped by with my brother after a sandwich at Jerry’s. This is a nice neighborood bar /eatery with a respectable tap list and bottle selection. Don’t expect to find any rarities, but there are plenty of choices for the discerning beer drinker. This does have patio seating and they open up the front windows in the summer. Not a bad place to chill during the day.

Not a bad place - another cramped eatery but with a decent beer list. The service was good, but I was in there fairly early before FoBAB having some breakfast and Orval. I.e., it wasn’t too crowded yet. Not bad food, but nothing that I would seek out again.

This palce is good. Nothing great. It has an ok selection of the usual belgium, english, some micros. Kinda expensive compared to the map room. Daily Food specials. Love the location, needed one of these in this neighborhood.

West loop location has a fairly large beer list that is overall not amazing but can have some real gems on it from time to time. Draft options are usually fairly tame but good quality brews. Has an outdoor patio, narrow room with cramped bar but more spacious seating are in back. Food is decent bar food from what I have had. Service has been average to above average.

It’s less than a mile from the United Center. The upstairs is cramped and did not visit the downstairs. Lots of old B & W pictures on the walls to make it seem older than it is, the bar is nice. Did not sample the food but it seemed typical pub fare. PBR as the lone macro the rest were micros and some Germans ( Spaten Optimator). Good selection of bottles, varied. Not a bad place to stop before going to a game.
