Fox Barrel: The Fox Barrel Pacific Pear is fantastic! Fermented using 100% pure pear-juice and Gluten-free!
Patrice Yursik: There's a new "special" item that is AMAZING - ravirogi. Part ravioli, part perogi, all delish. I wish they'd add it to the permanent menu. Ask for it!
Leigh Loftus: Since you're here, try the flying pork wings! Delicious!

John: Came here intending to get the lobster roll sandwich we had read about, but were surprised by the very modern sophisticated menu. Best gin & tonic ever, and the charcuterie appetizer was inspired!
Time Out Chicago: With three cuts of beef, two types of cheese and a bottomless reserve of umami, it’s clear this burger has been obsessed over by chef Ryan McCaskey http://tmoutchi.us/YmTIHi Read more.

Roy H: Most incredible selection of craft beers around! Great pizza, outstanding staff - and team trivia, if you're interested.
Allen Shewmaker: Our server, Rita, was amazing. Seriously the friendliest person I've met so far while in Chicago. Very good beer selection, and the pizza was incredible. I also suggest the spinach sticks!
Jon Vaughn: Stopped in to fill camelback with ice water, & smelled so good I'm having dinner
Kate Hamilton: Patio faces West and is sunny until almost sunset! Good food and atmosphere, extensive beer selection, and usually solid music playing.
Brian Powers: I can't believe this "place" replaced Opera... Typical cargo shorts, flip flop, oversized tshirt crowd..blah.. And they have door people..LMAO!!
Phaedra Leslie: Get the nachos! Not like your average nachos.

Shannon Lindell: The sweet potato tatter tots are my favorite. Every burger that I have tried has been excellent. Along with hand mixed shakes. Only caution is the portions are huge!
Lindsay M: Been here on multiple occasions - great food, however every time I've been here it's taken over 30 minutes to get our food (both when it's busy and not).
Ricel Almadovar: Burger is juicy and flavorful. Calamari is a good appy. Beer selection plentiful. Signs of a good watering hole!!
