Open Outcry

Enjoyable atmosphere, love that you can see the inner workings of the on-site brewery facilities behind the bar area... adds an industrial but intimate feel to the space. Taking a couple flights of steps to the outdoor patio is another delight and value add to the place. The aesthetic gives rooftop garden and helps to diminish some of the cityscape. The food is good, service is pleasant and knowledgeable even though I did not get the opportunity to try any of the local brew on the menu on this visit (something to look forward to come back and experience!).

We had a great early dinner on a Monday. It was before the dinner rush. We had kids with us, and they were accommodated with kids' drinks and fun kids menu mats as well. Our server was very attentive but never annoyingly so. We grabbed pretzels as an appetizer, and they came with beer cheese and honey mustard and were seasoned with everything bagel seasoning. They were really good. We ordered sliders for the kids (9 and 7 yrs old) and pizza for the adults. We chose the cheese and the lemon arugula one. Everything was great! We also had the flourless chocolate cake as we were celebrating a birthday. It was delightful. They have a fun table with swings to sit on, but it was occupied when we arrived. Their bathrooms are clean and well kept, as is the rest of the brewery. It was a nice day, so the large garage door was open for fresh air. We've been here many times, and we will keep coming back!

It was a great experience. The food was delicious and the waitress checked on us regularly. The pizza was yummy. We had 3 different varieties and I had the and old fashioned. The atmosphere was open so perfect for a warm weather day. I believe they also have rooftop seating. Hope you try it and enjoy it too. Let me know. Chow

Glad I finally got a chance to stop in-what a great spot! I got there early, but the staff was as warm and inviting as the decor. Whole place has a great vibe. Only had time for one beer, but the Delirio hazy IPA was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Bright citrusy and just drinkable. The owner John and I got to chat for about 10 minutes. He is a great guy and seems very committed to the neighborhood and knowledgeable about beer. I perused the menu and they have a great cocktail program to complement the beers. I’m coming back soon to try the pizza and the rest of that beer list.

Awesome experience, was a perfect start of a Chicago visit to attend a concert. This place is a microbrewery, with a full bar, dining room and kitchen featuring a wood-fired pizza oven. You can see their brewing operation in the dining area as well as through a window behind the bar. The dining room is full of character, long tables with yellow metal chairs and some tables set up with swings for chairs (check out the photos). There is a dining area upstairs on the roof as well; but we didn't go there. Wife and I ordered salad and a wood-fired 12-inch pizza for two. Tried their own brews, I got the Hefeweisen called 'Bona Fide', wife got their double hazy IPA called 'Citrium'. The salads came and it was huge, came in a shoebox sized box. The croutons were homemade and well seasoned for the classic house salad. We weren't done with the salad by the time the pizza arrived. The pizza ordered was 'The Spaulding' having a tomato sauce base, pepperoni and jalapeños covered with their 50/50 cheese (provolone and mozzarella); fired in the wood oven then drizzled with a honey sauce. Oh SO good, perfectly matched my Hefe! This was the best pre-load for a rock concert, ever!

The food was great. I definitely recommend The Hatch appetizer. It was so delicious, I’m sure I’m going back just for that. The pizza was so fresh and tasty. The crust just right and I could eat it alone honestly. Jenny offered us amazing service and was very attentive and had great recommendations of the menu. The scenery and atmosphere is very nice for summer, especially the rooftop. It’s a lowkey gem that I highly recommend.
