Mike: Hands down the best selection of taps in the city - from NE IPAs, to local favorites, to the rarest Belgians you’ve never heard of.
Christian N: This new spot is a craft beer nerd's paradise. Chris the owner is very helpful and knowledgable and does many video reviews of craft beers on his website. If you are in the area you must stop in!
Jake Guidry: There are plenty of craft beer stores with good selection. This place takes it next level by dating everything that comes in and having an extremely helpful/knowledgeable/friendly staff.
Chris H: Awesome. Try the IPA and pulled pork
Eric Venker: The beer garden is legendary, as is the beer selection. Pros know that the best action can be found at "Beer School" -- the bar-within-the-bar inner sanctum offering its own epic tap list.
Mike Fergus: It's called Sheffield's because the bar is on Sheffield. Also, they have a large sign that says Chicago. That's because the bar is in Chicago. On Sheffield.

Pinch R: Best tater tots in the area!
Time Out Chicago: "When you have a TV," bartender Nick Rahn explains, "it creates an ambience where everyone's staring in a corner." This tavern has enough distractions with a draft list, tater tots, and a photo booth. Read more.
