The Brewery

Great neighborhood bar. Good prices and I can go with the wife or the dudes. Tons of parking too!

Stopped in early in the year around January. It was playoff football season and I was in the area so gave it a shot. I had been wanting to stop in for a while during my daily drive home just never got around to it.
This particular day I took the plunge and was neither wowed nor disappointed. Had the feel of a regulars bar with a slightly more modern feel. I sat at the bar and ordered a beer while I watched the games. The crowed was a bit older and a few regulars walked in during my time there. Seemed like everyone kept to themselves. Bartender was nice but she was not very warm to this newcomer. So basically I felt like I was just sitting on my couch alone drinking a beer.
Didn’t try the food so can’t speak on that but it did seem everyone was trying something.
Overall a nice cozy little spot if you go with a friend or a group. I probably wouldn’t be back only because of so many other little gems to try and discover.

The place is great to catch a game — for the most part good people — always a couple of «gang bangers» pop in here and there. I’d go back to watch a game and enjoy the patio — but the FOOD was awful — could have been a bad night but — burgers were not cooked, grilled cheese had solid cheese in the middle we had to ask for it to be re cooked. Polish was under cooked also.SMH. Again could have been an off night

Oh how I love local establishments! Friday night karaōke drew us in to meet up with friends. We were hungry and told they had good food.
So I got a burger… good, but the bun was a bit too greasy, it came with a very large side of yummy onion rings too. Husband had garlic parmeasan wings which were very tasty, and very garlicy. Then there was the chips… the french fries, really… very thick cut potatoe chips, deep fried to tasty perfection. We had them smothered in cheese, bacon, tomatoes and green onion.
Atomosphere was good. Hawks game on in the main bar and karaōke goodness in the back.
I can see popping in again.

Had a blast here. Brought a few friends to this neighborhood bar and they finally have food. Guess what? It’s good food. We had burgers that were thick and juicy. Very flavorful and cooked the way we asked. Loaded chips were good. They make homemade chip slices and load it up w cheese sauce, bacon and sour cream. Tomatoes topped it and they were delicious. Tried the wings… Good size and crispy w lots of sauce. Only it was spicy garlic when we ordered hot. None the less, tasted like Buffalo Wild Wings spicy garlic. So it was good anyway. Owner is a delight and very friendly. Bartender was spot on and the prices were fair in comparison to a neighborhood bar. We are all in the industry and liked our experience. There is a shortage of young people, and it’s a little bright but were not complaining. Everyone was enjoying themselves. We will definitely be back, and can’t wait to try more food.

A nice neighborhood bar that gets four stars for layout and comfort in the bar. They also have attractive Russian bartenders so that is another reason for a good ranking. A diverse crowd inside that will never be mistaken for a wrigleyville sports bar.

Close to my house, its never ever crowded and the beers are cheap. It’s a great place to watch a game or hang out whenever you don’t feel like going to wrigley. Plus there’s a lotto scratch off machine that I’ve spent way too much money on. So there’s that too. I don’t think I’ve had a bad time here so if you’re with friends around Harlem and Irving, check it out.

I like this neighborhood bar! Nice cozy casual atmosphere. Lots of room to comfortably sit and watch a game. They have a really nice beer garden outdoors with lots of seating and even a TV outside. It gives you the feeling of being in someones backyard. I’ve been here on a few occasions for parties where the back party room has been rented out and that’s a really nice space to have a casual party. Some may disagree but I like that the party room is still open to the main bar area so it’s still private without feeling too excluded from the main atmosphere. Decent prices, drink specials. no frills but a nice place to socialize!

Great Neighborhood sports bar. Big screen TV on the wall along with a couple hanging over the bar so you don’t miss a minute of the game. They have a pool table, foosball, darts and pinball. Great beer garden!
