    Seriously this burger. The cheese is worthy. Wash it down with a Shark Meets Hipster and bring your dog to sit on their sidewalk patio. Perfection.

    Love this place! More for the beer selection than the good. I got the burger, and my friend got the fried chicken. Would recommend the beer flight, really cheap and lots of beer! Friendly staff also!

    Brant, DryHop brewmaster, knows how to make delicious, complex, full-bodied beers with ABVs that won't ruin you. Food is great and menu continues to evolve. Server Diana was awesome. Bring the kids!

    Made-on-premise beers—available by the glass or flight—pair with a selection of hearty sandwiches, burgers, seafood and bar snacks, plus a newly launched brunch menu. Read more

    The burgers are like Au Cheval-level good. The beers tend toward the hoppy (surprise, surprise), but offer a good range of styles and flavors.

    What I liked: perfect crisp frites with garlic lemon peppered aioli to go along with awesome beers Shark Meets Hipster & Devil Jumped Up. Food was okay.

    Poutine was so good. Wedge salad wasn't that good. Buttered fried chicken moist, could use a little more flavour. Dog friendly. Will bring water out for dog which I loved.

    The hopping new brewery is just what East Lakeview needed. Get there early or keep your eyes peeled for bar seats—DryHop gets crowded and waits for tables only make it feel more like the place to be. Read more

    My go to brewpub! Their cheddar burger is the best in Chicago, which means a lot from a burger lover like myself. Beer changes often, and there's always something unique on tap.

    Keep coming back for the burger and the ambience. Love the rotating beer flight flavors. Plus Dogs are allowed in the patio space.

    The porter was delicious. If you like spicy, go for the Daytona 500. There's nothing like it. Good vibe, good service. Would absolutely come back.

    Worth it for the boutique brews alone but the kitchen serves high quality versions of American fare. Buzzy and unintimidatingly hip.

    Curry mussels were excellent! I also had the Demon burger. I found it to be the perfect level of spice, though I imagine it may be very spicy for some people.

    Don't play around. Go for The Burger, you won't be disappointed... add some egg for the perfect I-hope-it-never-ends kind of burger. Oh, of course, the drafts are out of control.

    Always some new beer on the menu! Food menu doesn't change but it doesn't need to - try the friend chicken sandwich. Nice patio in the summer - dog friendly

    The burger. That's where it is at. Not too big. Juicy, not dry at all. Flavorful. Cooked just right, mid rare. Fries & dipping sauces were good too.

    Flight of beer and poutine. Hits the spot. Burgers are juicy here as well. Make sure you get an egg on your burger or poutine.

    I agree with everybody on the "shark meets hipster" wheat IPA. It is very unique to any wheat beer I have ever had due to the heavy floral/fruit filled notes. Yummy

    I'm normally a hop head but I tried the Shark Meets Hipster wheat IPA and loved it! Stuffed burger is also amazing as well as the gourmet fries

    Brunch? hank's plate with poached eggs and ham. Past that? Burger or the vegetarian Ruben with bacon. And of course a beer

    Pretty tasty brews and very underrated burgers. Worth your time to check it out if you're in the area.

    Try their brews in small 10 oz sizes for as low as $4! Good beers, casual appetizers, excellent atmosphere.

    Their saison is wonderfully spicy and has a hint of lime to it. I forget the name but it has something to do with vampires.

    Poutine, The grapefruit IPA was basically a better-tasting carbonated juice - tasty (at 3% ABV)! Great food!!

    The Capitan's French Toast: challah, rum spiked egg, Captain Crunch crust, liquid cheesecake and blueberries. Yummy!

    The poutine is good but the burger is AMAZING. The cheese on the burger is a raw milk cheddar and it really takes this to another level.

    The olives and curds are delicious. They marinate the olives for hours in a good mix of herbs.

    Great beer but bartender with the beard is no fun.. Didn't let us fill up our growlers when I didn't bring my ID, even though bf had his. I walked out but he still wouldn't sell it to us.

    Candy Rock Shop is a great sweet beer. Food was beyond typical bar food, but smaller than usual portions.

    Service was good, food was tasty and flavorful. I don't think it was worth the price though. $11 for a single scallop. The beer, go for the beer.
