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.
Men's Health Mag: For those 30 days when winter is gone, this place is as close to heaven as you’ll get—pint glasses of basic brew and a good plate of BBQ on a picnic table. It’s the simple pleasures in life.

Sean Connolly: Talk to the bartender and they will set you up with a great German beer, amazing variety for such a small bar. Thuringer sandwich is only 5 bucks and really tasty
Christine Cucchi: Best beer garden in the city, hands down.
Lynn Marie: Great German bier selection, not so good German food. I'd go across the street to Laschetts for badass German food. Ask for Greg, he is an awesome server.

Altagracia Montilla: White hummus is a great way to start the evening. Duck tacos are a great choice if you're not looking to order a large dish- the juicy, seasoned duck meat will please an appetite.
Melanie V: Don't get the mimosas! Its fake oj and really not impressive.
Tim Mulcrone: The shrimp and grits are quite possibly the beat grits you'll ever have anywhere.
