    “I’ve had great experiences here on multiple occasions. It’s a cool vibe overall and baseline worth a visit given the fact that it’s one of three Guinness open gate breweries in the world. Beyond that, there’s great beer & food, solid service, and ample space (which isn’t easy to come by in west loop). Definitely recommend!”

    “Self pour, pay per oz. tap room with 4-5 different brewery's beers on tap. They also have wine and mixed drinks on tap as well. There is also food options but we did not eat. Overall it was a good visit but we probably won't make a return trip. Beverages start at around $.70 an ounce and it goes up from there. That adds up real quick and the price paid for the experience just didn't seem worth it.”

    “I rarely write reviews, but this place blew me away. I went because there were really great classic cocktails on the menu and was impressed that a bar had such a good selection. Tony did not disappoint, everything curated on these menus is done with the highest quality liquor and attention to detail. He recommended the burger and I had a side of tallow fries and they were perfect. He doesn't have to go the extra mile making the fries that good, cooking in beef fat, or insisting on serving Monkey 47 as one of his standard gins, but you can tell he takes pride in absolutely everything he puts on the menus. Anyone willing to keep a bottle of Creme de Violette on hand at all times to make Aviations is committed. After all that food and drink, THEN he produces his special Chartreuse cocktail menu for me to peruse. Every classic Chartreuse cocktail I've heard of is on there with many more I hadn't heard. And if you love amaros, he has a whole selection of those too, all historic in their own right. I drank cocktails all night, sampled the best Japanese gin, listened to rock and heavy metal and compared cocktail culture between Brooklyn and Chicago. This place deserves the love for its great beer selection, welcoming vibe, and food, but to me this is a mandatory destination for any cocktail enthusiasts in Chicago. One of the best cocktail bars I've ever been to in the country. Come early, stay late, show this business some love, and talk to Tony to see how much love is put into your drinks.”

Andrew, a mixologist, conversationalist, and Goose Looking Dude wearing aviator sunglasses look like they been taken off by Tom Cruze only moments after buzzin’ the carrier’s tower, was most excellent to advise me on beer and whisky options. Thank you, Andrew and crew. Nice place to land, plan a bit, reflect and enjoy the company of new friends. Wrigleyville has it down, I’ll tell you what.”

They have a good sized indoor seating area as well as a few tables near the bar. Several tellies behind the bar showing sports games. Drink list includes a good selection of handcraft beers. We enjoyed a porter and blond that both pretty good, easy to enjoy while watching a bit of baseball and basketball on the evening. Would be happy to pop back in for another round if in the area if in the area again.”

From the moment we walked in, the attentive wait staff ensured our group felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout the evening. The space was impressively spacious, making it perfect for our gathering. We never felt crowded, and there was plenty of room for everyone to mingle comfortably despite sharing the 2nd floor space with other patrons (since I decided not to rent out the entire floor for myself). The TVs were a much-appreciated addition, allowing for some of my friends who were Iowa fans to watch the game and add to the lively atmosphere. Everything was so reasonably priced – great food and drinks without breaking the bank! Emailing the events coordinator was incredibly simple and they were generously accommodating for what I was looking for. If you're looking for a fantastic venue for your next event, Cruz Blanca Brewery is definitely the place to be!”
