Great Reuben sandwich with my draft beer. My first visit but I enjoyed this local venue and hope to return soon. The staff were informative and welcoming.

Service very amiable, beer selection changes. Very nice surprise to have a bar like this in the area, compared to the rude service and poor selection across street at Sidekicks.

Beers were great as expected. We were not impressed with the nachos. The meat was tasteless and hard to separate so lots of meat in a bite or no meat. The cheese sauce had a nice wang to it and chips were ok. Will try something different next time.

Service can be weak. Don't dare walk in without a phone. Bartenders hate to learn the menu. And specials? Psh, hospitality needs improvement

Only got takeout and one beer. Bartendress explained why they didn't have Cubs-Dodgers on tv because, with an occupancy of 250, the cost would have been astronomical. Obligatory bleep the Cubs/Marquee/Rickets family. Anyway, beer was delicious (I had a sour), food was great when rebetaed at home, and bartender warned me off the cod sandwich to the fish and chips, saying they use a different, better breading on the F&C. Plus she comped me a taste of their barrel aged stout so I have nothing bad to say about this place.

Food is so good here and they always seem well-staffed. Like the flavor and crunch of their fries. Love the enormous beet salad that comes with grapefruit, goat cheese, seeds, and greens. Katie is a great server.

The best cheese curds I've ever had. The IPA and Hazy was also amazing. Don't order the octopus.

Food was good but the service at the bar was severely lacking. The server who got us our drinks seemed like he didn’t want to be there and told the people next to us to hang on when they tried to order food then he never came back to them… did the same thing to us.Parking: Street parking can be difficult since many of the side streets are permitted.

Extensive menu for a brew pub. Friendly service. Wide selection of beers. Seats 250 so lots of space. No Cubs games cuz they refuse to pay for the Marquee Network.

My family and I stopped in for a quick drink and appetizer one stir crazy afternoon. Good beer and good spot for kids. Service was friendly and attentive. Cool space. They also had a life sized lady gremlin from Gremlins 2 that really ties the room together. Planning on coming back some day for the full experience.
Everything tasted fantastic. My brother and I got the six-piece Tokyo spicy wings, the wood-fired burger with bacon and garlic fries, the mac of the week, and two blood orange beers. My brother got the double wood-fired cheeseburger.The mac and cheese tasted great and was big enough for two to three people. It is far from where I live, but it was worth it. Great meal.Kid-friendliness: While eating here, I saw many families eating together; some had toddlers, and others had teens.
The only one that could stop me from talking about this place is Boeing!Once you come here you start checking their website feverishly because they have a new wing of the week but also, burger and Mac and cheese of the month. Some would say they have the best wings in the city! I like that they are not afraid to experiment with their wing flavors, when I went the wing of the week was piña colada flavored!If you’re into beer this place has it and a wide selection. I came here strictly for the food, I’ve been here multiple times and have gotten the wings, burger and the cod po’boy. All 3 items impressed with the taste, quality and portion size! Don’t settle for a Boeing quality restaurant where they just throw in the scraps! Go to Old Irving Brewing!

When we arrived, we were told by the host that it would be a one hour wait. It was a busy Saturday, so not surprising. I turned to ask a member of our party if that was okay, then when I turned back to say we’d wait (5 seconds later), it was suddenly an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and a half wait. I left my number and we stood back to wait while we checked in with the rest of our party. Less than a minute later, the host said they’d seat us after the people in line in front of us, then suddenly we were being told to follow a staff member to an open table (which was right next to another open table of the same size). This all happened in under five minutes. It felt like the host just didn’t want to deal with us and was hoping we’d leave if given a long wait time.Once we sat down, the server seemed to have the same attitude. She was nice and attentive, but was very obviously hoping we’d be a quick turn. The food and drinks were good, but not worth the service.

Great food, especially the weekly specials. Some of the best chicken wings I've had in the area. Great selection of rotating beers too.
