Great bar food. Well priced for the neighborhood. Free shuttle to and from the United Center a great perk.

You don't have a restaurant open in Chicago over a decade unless you figured something about. Kaiser Tiger has a brand, good tasty fare hat goes beyond typical bar fare with interesting takes on classics like the Turkey Rueben and the Schnitzelwich, clever interpretations but delicious. Voluminous craft brew options. Great bar, great terrace and it won't break the bank. Check it out.

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

Such a great experience before our concert. Staff friendly, food is amazing, and they have a free shuttle to the united center when there is concerts and games! Must check this out!

I haven’t had the beer but I went for lunch and it was okay. I think that there are better places around the area that for the same price or cheaper that are better.

Decent beer selection. Lots of good local Chicago brews, plus some more from the continent and world. Kitchen has food. Mostly above average pub stuff.

I just tried this spot for the last three days while I worked a music fest across the street and I wish I lived near here cause I would be a regular. Great food, great vibes, and super friendly staff! Christina was especially fun and friendly so here she is being awesome!

Drinks are mid. Prices are meh. Service was trash.
I was in Chicago, looking for a place to have a quick bite. This place was so good, I went back the next night! Staff were all friendly and attentive, the craft beer selection was fantastic, and the food was amazing!

Outstanding service. Great beer and drinks selection. Food was really good too, especially the bacon board and all the sausage sandwiches. We definitely recommend Kaiser Tiger!

This place is great! I went with some family friends this weekend. They have a great outdoor patio area which is where we sat. They have a solid beer selection and great food (the smash burger was amazing!) but most importantly, they have a cat named Bacon who is too adorable 🥰
