Gustavo SanchezApril 3, 2015Great beer selection I live me some pranqster beer, and the burgers is what you have to get when you come here.. Their chili is good too- Jill s.November 29, 2015Great beers, generally bananas in there as they release good beers often, never had a chance to sit down and eat there food though.
Of course we come for the amazing beer selection, but don't overlook the Buffalo Calamari. It's crispy, spicy, and goes perfect with beer!
Drink LocalAugust 9, 2011Don't miss the Goose Island Tap Invasion this Wednesday, August 10 2011. Rare local brews are to be had, including Demolition, Big John, Cascade Belgian Pale , Green Line Pacifica and more!
A bar with a keen selection of craftbeer, both on draft and in bottles & cans. It is one of the best for this neighborhood. {I messed up by not having this on here prior.}
Do yourself a favor...try a cheese pizza with giardinara. Unlike anything you've ever had. Awesome to the last bite.
$5 one topping pizza Mondays. $3 burger Tuesdays. Half price appetizers and $5 martini Thursdays. Mmmmmmmm
I like that they serve their soup in a coffee cup w/ saucer! So cuuute and of course delicious! Mushroom Brie is a FAV!
$3 craft cans on Wednesday! Awesome pizza, all sandwiches on pretzel buns....ask for Erica ;)
Kirstjen LorenzMarch 17, 2017Good burger with house-made chips. Loud sports bar atmosphere on a Sunday afternoon.
I've had the burgers, tater tots and wings. All are delicious.
Pizza is pretty amazing! Can't go wrong with grilled chicken tenders.
Michele westphallMarch 29, 2012Hawks game day the downstairs opens at 5. Got here first :) and got a drink free. Half price sliders brings it down to $1each..score.
If there is anything by SlapShot Brewing on tap, it is a must-drink beer!!!- Get the 12 beers of Christmas and a freeT-shirt. Delicious fun!
Jennifer MarvinFebruary 25, 2010tons of beer on tap & good bar food - fun on weekdays when you can get a seat at the bar - relaxed atmosphere & good spot for happy hour Read more
12 different sliders at $2 each plus basket of tots. Awesome. Try the basket of bacon too.
Meredith PittmanSeptember 3, 2013.25 cent wings on Sundays! Great wings, but waitress seemed preoccupied and clueless.
Vincentia EgonmwanMay 25, 2012Spinach and artichoke dip w/ tortilla chips is delish! The pizza too!!!
Sara PorterNovember 17, 2011Hanging out at Beer Bistro's Cellar - great new bar installed by Heineman Bar Company's own Dustin Porter.
Leigh LoftusMarch 29, 2012I'd give it 2.5 stars of 5, great drinks... Food has a lot of potential just need better ingredients and love!
Great variety of beers! Pizza, burgers & wings are the bomb!
Nazary NebelukApril 16, 2014Not as great a tap selection as you would expect for a place called The Beer Bistro
Great new bar in the Beer Bistro basement crafted by Chicago's own Heineman Bar Co.
Jessica O'July 11, 2010Great little place! Tons of different beers, really good food, reasonable prices.
RobyneOctober 15, 2011Ask about the beer card. Drink them all and get free rooftop tix to Cubs game.
Breakfast was AMAZING. Served Saturday & Sunday 11-3. Worth every penny.
The ginger named Beth is the coolest sconnie in Chicago!
- Kathryn HJuly 23, 2011Eh, this place just lost some points for the rude bartender when I asked if it was possible to get a table outside when available. He also poured my beer into a glass without asking. Sad day.
