Food was good. Definitely try the pretzel! Beers were good too! Service was prompt and inviting. Atmosphere was adequate.

Went in with friends and was told the place is closing in an hour and a half for a private event… that’s alright but even with that we just felt rushed and an inconvenience to the guy who waited on us. Was gonna get a burger but canceled it because of the service and went next door

Top class beer selection. Food is fantastic and great value for money. Friendly staff and service .... ask for Charlie you won't be disappointed.

I don't even know where to start. As another commenter mentioned, everything about this place is awful. The fake, artificially flavored beer was the first straw. The food was wrong on so many levels: Wrong sides, not cooked as ordered, dry as f, overpriced, ust bad. These people need to wrap it up and move on to something else. Just dreadful.

First time trying this bbq ,brewery.
Very disappointed. Candied bacon app was not good.
Ordered brisket which was fatty gray ,and not tender .
Ribs were one of the worst I've had ever been served.
How is this place open ?

Great service, but the place is kinda of creepy and boring- especially since they closed at 10 on a Friday. I was a little disappointed.

Went here last night for a little bite to eat. We got 2 appetizers, nachos with chicken and mac-n-cheese with chicken. It was so good I want to go back for a full dinner. Our waiter was so very nice as well as the food runners. Really cool place too. Great views of the brewing areas. We are definitely going back fir a full meal because there was a lot of delicious looking items I want to try.

We stopped in to kill some time with drinks on a day where our flight was delayed and had a wonderful time. Charlie was amazing. Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and we could see she really cared. We ordered a flight and let her pick all of the options. She spoke to us about some of the coffee ales. We ended up purchasing several cans of the aged Dark Gourd when we left based on her recommendations. Truly time well spent. Next time we have extra time in Chicago we will absolutely be stopping again.

Everything about this place was awful. From the service to the food. Everything was a miss. Full slab of ribs and they were just God awful. Our waitress stunk too. We will not be back. 3 out of 4 people did not like our food. The 4th had a salad and said it was amazing.

Time and time again when I used to go in the service was very poor. I would often be forgotten one time they never came back to check and I could have walked out without paying luckily I had some cash and left enough for the beer I had

On that note the beer is very good and the food is also excellent

If I could give Short Fuse six stars, I would! The service was outstanding. The beer? Second to none. Absolutely loved my drinks and Charlie gave wonderful input on helping pick my beers. The food? I wish I had room to eat more! I’ll be stopping here every time I come to Chicago. And maybe planning a trip back just to come here!
