“Vibes? Immaculate. Beer? Incredible. Accuracy? Only reason I give 4 stars. Asked for a dirty shirley and got a long island iced tea. Shit happens - Forest Gump. Prove me wrong next time and I correct it 😉
i stand corrected. this might be one of
the BEST chicago bars.“

“We had a delicious takeout brunch. The steak and eggs were so flavorful and the chilaquiles were exactly how I like them. The cinnamon roll was an extra special treat. The food tasted just as good as in the restaurant. A great option for takeout!“

“When our daughter chose your place for her birthday dinner we were skeptical. From the time we walked in until hours later we enjoyed every minute. The service and food were great. Thank you!“

“I made a group reservation about 1 week in advanced, we arrived earlier but I called ahead to notify the restaurant. When we got there we were informed our group was going to be sitting in 3 different tables, which I thought was inconvenient. The staff mentioned other tables had already been reserved for other groups, which I thought was odd since we were also a group and booked ahead of time as well. The restaurant had the space to accommodate my group to be together but the staff insisted the tables were reserved. We were there till about 6pm and the restaurant never was full. Nor all the tables they claimed were taken by other groups were occupied. Lesson learned and next time I will make sure to make sure my group sits all together since this was a company outing. Thanks“
“Nick’s Beer Garden – Chicago
Hanging out at Nick’s in Wicker Park right now and loving the vibe. Great mix of live music and shuffleboard. Tons of local craft beers on tap, and the happy hour deals are hard to beat — $3 drafts and the “Chicago Handshake” are a must.
Shoutout to Will behind the bar — super friendly, quick with a drink, and keeping the energy up. Even when it’s busy, he’s on top of it.
Perfect spot for good beer, good music, and good people.“

“It is FANTABULOUS! Not a better spot in the city to take in the river, the gorgeous Chicago sky scape, great ambiance, superb service, cool music, good food, good vibes and a huge space. Not to mention the cider and beer options!! It really is TOPS in the city!!“
“One of my favorite Chicago Venues to play. I live in the burbs so it’s a little hard to go out for other shows as much as I would like. But when I do, it’s always home. ❤️“

“Family owned, food is homemade and delish! Salad with house dressing has always been my fave. Been going here for over 45 years. Try the schnitzel, potato pancakes, brats, leberkase....everything is great! Beer garden in the back is the icing on the cake!“

“We saw that this place has bacon, sausage, and cheese and we decided that was the place for us. We went a few hours before a Lady Gaga show at the United Center and saw that they do free shuttle service to the United Center for concerts and Blackhawks and Bulls games. The shuttle service started at 6 p.m. and we weren't there long enough, but what a service for an establishment with craft beers to have. Even if you don't need the service it's very walkable to the United Center, btw.
We started out on the back patio. Great atmosphere and very cozy. We did end up going inside to the bar due to mosquitoes always thinking I'm delicious.
I got the Beer & Bacon sausage which was absolutely delicious. Huge chunks of bacon, house made beer mustard, and crisp red onions topping the sausage. I'm not usually a mustard fan but the beer cheese mustard was delicious and I love beer cheese. Definitely hid the mustard flavor, or at least neutralized it. The crispy red onions added the perfect amount of crunch, making each bite satisfying.
My husband got the crispy mac and cheese bites, which comes with chili and beer cheese. The chili sort of reminded me of Cincinnati-style chili, which I'm not a fan of (sorry!) but the cheese bites with that delicious beer cheese really hit the spot. The bites were the perfect crisp level.
We got the Kaiser Tiger/Dovetail Hefewizen which was easy to drink and amazing on a warm day after walking around. I then switched to the Kaiser Tiger/Dovetail Pils which was perfectly smooth and dry, again perfect on a toasty day.
Now for my favorite part of the experience: DAN! When we arrived hardly anyone was there (they'd just opened and it was a Wednesday afternoon) and Dan was the bartender/server. He was so nice and answered my questions about the patio cat aptly named Bacon (cute!). When we went to the bar he was so nice and personable. We told him we were from the Nashville area and we talked about the cesspool that is Broadway, hockey, indie movie theaters in Tennessee and Chicago, and movies (he has great taste). He was so cool and it really heightened our experience at this already cool place. Definitely check Kaiser Tiger out and if Dan is there and has time, have a chat with him“
