Great spot to watch the activity on the river. Friendly service and great PRETZEL !
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!!
I organized a company (~20-30 people) happy hour here and everything about it was amazing!
Location - easy access, beautiful walk, open space, and beautiful river views
Service - The team was outstanding. I worked with Tracie I. to organize the event and she was extremely helpful, prompt with her responses and recommendations, and the day of the event went extremely smooth and I could actually enjoy myself as well, which is rare when you are hosting!

The Northman Beer & Cider Garden on the Riverwalk in Chicago offers a diverse selection of beers, including lagers, pilsners, Belgians, saisons, porters, stouts, ales, IPAs, and sours. This wonderfully chill beer garden features casual outdoor picnic-style seating and provides a great spot for boat and people watching. The atmosphere is festive, enhanced by Oktoberfest music, making it a pleasant location for weekend crowds to enjoy the vibe. While the food is average, the ciders are excellent and perfect for cider fans. Visitors can relax with a refreshing drink while taking in the river view, making this spot worth revisiting. The staff is friendly and helpful, with one counter staff member receiving a big shoutout for assisting guests with their orders. While some customers wish for more craft beers and live music, the variety of drinks and the overall experience continue to make this place a popular destination on the Riverwalk. Note that the bar closes at 10pm, and park security guards will escort everyone off the Riverwalk promptly at closing time.
