Amy LebowskyOctober 5, 2015Consistently, in the 3+ years I've been coming here when visiting Chicago, this joint has been such a treat. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and Eric is my crowd's favorite bartender.

Best beer bar in Wicker Park. Too many beers to choose from and mostly local offerings. Get some cheese curds and small sandwiches to munch while you drink yourself into happiness.Upvoted 1 week ago
CarolJanuary 15, 2016Very cozy atmosphere and fantastic drinks. Really enjoyed the pretzel, and the cheese curds were good but definitely needed a different sauce to cut the fat. Still yummy though

Staff PicksOctober 22, 2015Foie gras corn dog? Veggie corn dog? Slaw dog? Everything corn dog you can think of, you've got it. Bangers & Lace offers an extensive corn dog menu with an awesome beer list to top off your meal.Upvoted 4 weeks ago- Rebecca RickertNovember 6, 2014This place has one of my favorite brunches in the neighborhood!! Nothing seems to happen in a hurry but it's worth the wait!! Tip-make your own biscuit sandwich!
Fletcher RhoadsAugust 26, 2015Nice drink selection. The food is also pretty good. Get the fried cheese curds. They brought us a wrong appetizer, they apologized and got us the right one and let us keep the other free of charge. A+
I've consumed more good beer here than probably anywhere else and probably more than anyone should. And they have a patio so you can drink with your dog!
Uhhh so delicious. Great beer selection and veggie hotdogs. Those things are so good I always ask the waiter to go back and check if I received the right order!
KathrynAugust 10, 2014Go there for Sunday brunch -Best Eggs Benedict in the city (and not stupid crowded). Try it with a bloody Mary and end it off with a cactus hugger - shot of wheat grass + shot of tequila.- Ariana VoyerApril 30, 2017Eggs Benedict and duck BLT for brunch were very good! Recommend Original Sin pear cider to pair. Awesome bartenders!
Eric VenkerFebruary 8, 2015Try a flight from the Six Pack, the kegs housed in an antique cooler that usually represents the most unusual/rare of whatever they’re tapping. Good meats, too.
Time Out ChicagoMarch 30, 2012The corn dog’s not the only cost-effective comestible at this busy hipster hangout; for $5, a Vienna dog with bold pepper jack, creamy garlic aioli and a crisp winter slaw is as satisfying. Read more- Time Out ChicagoMarch 2, 2012The Monday brunch revealed that every menu item contains sausage. Crispy chicken and waffles? It’s chicken sausage. A light, tender veggie frittata topped with fennel fronds? Vegetarian sausage. Read more
trillateezyDecember 23, 2014This is a really cute spot. Good for dates or close friends hanging out. Nice outdoor seating, great appetizer style food, and beer selection.
Cassie GrafströmMay 3, 2016We had the duck blt, hot links and pulled pork, and venison sausage sandwich. All were delicious! Good beer list and cocktails, though limited wines- Zach Solomon-BeloinDecember 28, 2015Really cool spot with a great craft beer selection. They have some hard to find beers too. Reasonable prices and solid food.
Ana Paula PellegrinoFebruary 3, 2017Great and cozy atmosphere with the right level of noise for pleasant conversation. The good food was also a good surprise.
Josh SciannaOctober 3, 2017Easily one of the best beer bars in Chicago. Revolving menu of beer you’ve probably never tried, and the food rocks too!
Eric makes a great cocktail! And try Carriage House across the street for to-die-for southern small plates. :)
Nora SchmiedelMay 21, 2014Amazing beer selection. The pretzel is sooooo good and the brussel sprouts are da bomb. Try em all! Together!
KimberlyAugust 10, 2011I had a great time sitting by the huge open air windows on a warm summer night... Good food & interesting beer all while Bill Withers' live album played in the background. :)
CaitlinJuly 1, 2016awesome beer list. but you probably already knew that. the vibe is perfect for an afternoon drink on a hot sunny day
Yes, the beer list is great. But the food? The food is amaze balls!! I like this place more and more with every visit.
Silvia AkiJanuary 31, 2016Super cool bar in Wicker Park, neighborhood is great and they have lots of local beers.
Mary CrepesJuly 3, 2018Unique beer selection and good food. I've also had brunch here and enjoyed it. Happy hour from 2-5!
Lisa WFebruary 20, 2013TIny tables in the back suck, but the beer list is good and prices reasonable. The incredibly phallic corn dog is incredibly delicious.
Jerremy HollandMarch 23Great draft beer selection, Chicago dogs, pretzels, crispy cheese curds, and great cocktails!
AlisonNovember 13, 2010While they have a great beer selection, and the food was tasty (try the grilled cheese truffle sandwich), it was packed and the seat yourself policy was obnoxious with the amount of people here.
Jeremy GreenDecember 18, 2010Cool place! And either way visit the Moccasin Bar in Hayward, wi. They have a stuffed Albino Deer in the display case...just don't visit during hunting season unless dressed in Blaze Orange.
Without a doubt one of the best places to go in the city for an amazing beer, excellent conversation and awesome food!- Patrick McDonaghApril 8, 2016Great beer selection with some of the best cheese curds and fried pickles I've ever had
- Mark MeyerJuly 26, 2013Great spot for a nice summer night. Every spot is basically an outdoor spot when they open the doors and windows
Bangers Sliders for Brunch!! Irish Bangers Sausages, creamed spinach, gruyere, fried egg, on buttery buttered crispy toasted mini english muffins.
Itinerant ArtDirectorDecember 18, 2010Crispy corn nuts, great beers on tap and a fantastic interior that's Hipster meets Hayward, WI. If you've been to the Moccasin Bar you'll know what I mean. If not, road trip!!!!- Sad they dropped the corn but the duck blt is amazing!
Amazing beer: Avery the reverend Killer food: Chicago style veggie dog, truffle grilled cheese and house truffle chips!- The well-curated beer list is always changing and consistently has options you can't find elsewhere.
Kori RoysApril 24, 2013Venison sandwich has an apple pie hidden in the bottom of it. Fantastic! Highly recommended.
NickJuly 10, 2013Nice craft beer selection, fun low-key atmosphere, and definitely the best veggie dog I've ever had.
Joseph B.May 5, 2019I like the long German-style table; it forces you to meet new friends and neighbors.
Don't neglect their lovely selection of bomber bottles. Great for sharing!
Erik BDecember 17, 2012Might not fit in if you don't look like a bicycle delivery person! The foie gras dog was tasty, though!
ChicagoistMay 29, 2015Named one of Draft Magazine’s 100 Best Beer Bars in the Country four years running.
Cheese curds, hot dogs, mighty blood-Mary's and a serious beer selection on tap
Claire PistekMarch 28, 2015Great bar food for experimental meat eaters. Had a sausage sandwich that was great.
