It was the night of one of the world cups and Mexico was playing against South Korea if I'm correct and my partner and I didn't know this so we had a hard time finding a place open around downtown but this place was literally the only place that attended us faster than anyone else. On a regular day I'm sure they would've gotten to us quicker but we were lucky to even get seated! The ambiance was inviting and fun! Everybody was having fun and I liked the music they were playing. The burgers were so good too. I got the bbq cheddar and bacon burger and it's one of the best burgers I've had ever. My lovely boyfriend had a burger too and he loved it. I can't wait to come again later at night and try some of their tacos and drinks! Thank you for having us! read more

The vibe struck me as upscale sports bar meets Irish pub. The bartender was friendly and got along well with the servers. The vegan food offerings were minimal. I got the pretzel, which was just ok. The Carolina mustard was the star, rather than the airy pretzel itself. If I were to go back it would be for their Belgian Tripel, which was really, really good. read more

Meh, C- kind of visit. My husband was excited to visit to sample award-winning beers. The first two he tried to order were out. That's a bummer! The service was so-so. Our server was nice enough, but couldn't answer basic menu questions. Food arrived and my plate was missing condiments . I ordered fish & chips. Very average, barely golden batter. Cole slaw was not good. The flavor was just off for me. We sat inside & the vibe was fine. A little loud considering it was almost empty. Overall, this place was a miss. read more

I've been here for drinks a few times over the years. Went here for dinner once because the line across the street (at a very popular burger joint) was just entirely too long. Since I was craving a burger I ordered a smash burger. It was messy, but I absolutely loved it. Large portion of fries on the side. My main reason for deducting a star was the service. Our server was always MIA until we flagged down another server. When we made a request, that person would send over our original server who was not pleased that we sought help from else where. This happened about 3 times (drinks, silverware, ketchup, etc.). Haymarket is a West Loop staple, that is for sure, but it would be better to feel as if the patronage was valued a little bit. read more

Came across Haymarket while walking around during Black Friday. This is definitely a sports bar where sports fan come to watch their teams on one of the many TVs around the bar and seating area. The staff is very friendly and the service was fairly quick; especially needed cuz my friend was starving. She ordered the smash burger and tater tots and I just had a side of tater tots. The food is great for bar food while watching the game; you're here for the comradery! read more

Super straightforward bar where you have plenty of beer options to choose from. They're located in a prime area of West Loop and are always very busy. My best friend and I luckily got one of the last high tops available on a Saturday night and we ordered our seltzers without any problems. They do offer half pours if needed since they always give 16 oz glasses. The prices are reasonable and the sports bar vibes are always solid. read more

My husband and I were looking for a fun bar to just go grab a drink on a cool Saturday afternoon in the city. I was looking for a place that had a cozy fun atmosphere and he was looking for good beers. So we ended up stopping at Haystack Pub and Brew. We walked in and sat right at the bar. Off the top I would say it is a very pub/Tavern type bar. In my head, it wasn't really what I was looking for, but we were there so I figured we'd give it a try. Our bartender was very friendly. We each ordered our drinks. My husband, who is a beer, connoisseur, ordered the Chicago Tavern, which he really enjoyed. I opted for a cocktail and ordered (I can't recall the name of my drink unfortunately because it was so very good) but it had their homemade strawberry basil, seltzer with soda water, and simple syrup I believe. It was Berry Something... it was an outstanding drink. I don't usually find things made so perfect for what I want but this was it. We each got a Bavarian pretzel as a snack and the pretzel was amazing. Super soft on the inside with a crisp outside, beer cheese, and a great mustard! We met a very nice couple sitting next to us and it ended up being a very nice stop in our day. Other than the pretzel, we did not try any food, but the restaurant side of it looked quite busy in the middle of the day. Moral of the story... going in it might not exactly be what you were imagining, but give it a try. You can have some very pleasant unexpected surprises. read more

They kept the mimosas coming!!! One of my besties saw this place on tik tok & took me here to get away from the woes of life. It was the perfect spot. We sat on the patio. It was a beautiful day and we had an awesome server. They had limited options for vegan/ pescatarian meals but there were a decent amount of vegetarian option. The menu wasn't extensive so in comparison this is pretty good. The food I did order was delicious!! I had the French toast & guacamole with chips. Yummmm!!! My bestie ordered a salad. Our waitress kept the mimosa coming so fast & they were strong. We broke our seals and had to keep running to the rest room lol. read more

This place is nice, very kid friendly, nice snacks, total sports bar. They have pretty good beer, nice nachos, a good medium sized pretzel, and the staff are so nice. They even gave my kiddo a free cookie. So sweet. read more

Our experience at Haymarket was great. Located in the heart of West Loop, Haymarket offers a casual vibe that can not be found in many of the other restaurants around here. We came in without a reservation on a Saturday night and were able to be seated at a high top table by the window immediately. Our server was phenomenal! She made our meal so enjoyable with her great attitude and attentiveness to our needs. We shared the jalapeño breadsticks, a tavern style pizza, and each got a flight of beer. I enjoyed everything and will definitely be back here again! read more

Haymarket is probably one of the most slept on places in West Loop. With everyone focused on the other hyped up restaurants on Randolph, this place is an old reliable staple that I can always count on. There is almost never a wait, they have a fantastic beer selection, and the food is solid. It's your typical bar fare, but if you're looking to snag a spot at Au Cheval to eat, this is the best place to go grab a drink. Staff are always friendly, plenty of TVs to catch a game, what more could you want in a bar! read more

I am continuing my series and lost, forgotten and now recovered beer and breweries that I have had but somehow they slipped through the cracks of my memory to get a review written sooner. Haymarket was unfortunately one that I forgot about which was unfortunate but I am in the process of repairing by getting a review posted now. Thanks to retrieving notes of these beer experiences. Two Hoppy Hearts was the name of the beer that I had here, a red ale. It was pleasant and refreshing! The flavors to find with this beer is a fun maltiness. The hops in this beer are Amarillo and Cotra hops which brought a nice combination together with it's hop profile for the beer. This beer was made specifically for a wedding apparently but I did not attend or know the couple so it was a beer that made it to the general public. read more

Stopped by Haymarket Brewery in Chicago and had an outstanding experience! I ordered the Pork Milanese and it was absolutely fantastic--crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Easily one of the best dishes I've had at a brewpub. To go with it, I tried their Speaker Wagon Pilsner, and it was a perfect pairing. Light, crisp, and incredibly refreshing--ideal for a warm day or just unwinding after a long one. The staff truly made the visit even better. Jonathan behind the bar was friendly and knowledgeable, and John, our server, was incredibly attentive and welcoming. Great food, great drinks, and genuinely great people. Definitely looking forward to coming back. Highly recommended! read more

Went here on a whim after looking for a random spot to eat at in the city, and definitely enjoyed the food/service. Food wise - ordered the smash burger which was solid, didn't blow me away compared to other locations I've been to but no complains at all. I think if you had a sesame bun, it would bring it over the top. Just not a huge fan of the bun they use. Fries were decent, well seasoned but some of them seemed stale. Had an order of the Buffalo wings which were also solid, and my SO ordered the pulled pork sandwich with the crème - perfectly cooked, bread was perfect, and the pork with the crema was a perfect combination. That was the real winner of the night. The beer was also solid and the waiter who served us was very attentive, gave us beer samples and overall did a great job of helping us. read more

Overall really good! Nice selection of drinks and food. I got the smash burger and it was tasty. Ambiance is nothing to note, very average.

Came to Haymarket to watch the game with my fiancé. It was a quiet bar with a bunch of TVs. We ordered the oyster mushroom pizza and the jalapeño poppers and both were pretty good. For the poppers, the menu warns you that it is very spicy. I thought it was a good level of spice, nothing tooo crazy like Thai chilis. The pizza was thing and crispy and a good size for 2 people. Our waiter was attentive but we had to keep asking for basics like plates and napkins read more

Haven't eaten here but the drinks are pretty good. Usually we stop in here for a drink while waiting on a reservation at Au Cheval.

INCREDIBLE sweet stout that's basically the equivalent of port. I'm pretty picky about overdone flavored" wine and beer but even the bright pink blackberry/American wheat was not too over the top for me. Lots of different games on and prompt service. Great spot! You can also get a flight board of four 5 oz samples for $12. read more

Another good place to get some pizza. I got a tavern cut style pizza here, and it was good. The service was pretty quick as I asked for it to go because I knew I wasn't going to eat it all right away. I got the pepperoni, banana peppers, and Basil one. read more

Food/Drinks were very good especially the Espresso martini! Service was fast and friendly. Enjoyed the location and vibe of the restaurant.

Service was outstanding, definitely made our experience a whole lot better having an attentive waiter like we did.

A go to of mine when in Chicago!!! Recently I brought my other half here because I thought he would enjoy the beer. I was right! This weekend Jose served us and was amazing. Attentive, gave GREAT recommendations, and shared amazing conversation as well. Had the wings (they're gluten free) and they were *chefs kiss* Looking for a great place for a bite to eat and drink, stop here. You won't be disappointed and neither will your wallet. read more

This place is a Chicago staple. I've been coming since they opened in 2010 and always have a solid meal and a great beer. My husband and I recently had a large party here and both the staff and co-owner John Neurauter were fabulous. In all these years, none of us had ever tried their pizza until then - will be ordering this next time :) Haymarket is a solid, awesome, local spot that deserves to be on any must-go-to list! read more

Great bar pub with locally brewed beers and seltzer's. Hostess greeted and sat me immediately and offered a menu even though there is a qr code on the stand as well. Alot of sandwiches, melts and burgers as well as pizzas on the menu and homemade pizza stix. I tried the patty melt which came with fries and for a drink their homemade hawaiian punch seltzer. Fruit forward and smooth with berry notes. All of their brews are available to get in cans and take home which the server informed me about. Very knowledgeable and broke down the differences in the beers they brew. Plenty of tvs to watch multiple games at once. Overall great bar and brew pub! read more

Came in after lollapalooza & there was no wait time. LOOOOVE the pepperoni and banana pepper pizza. Absolutely stunning, I haven't come across this flavor combo before. The acidity and heat cuts through the richness of the pepperoni and the cheese & the basil is so delightful. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger but the pizza was so much better. The tater tots were also fantastic. Not many places offer tater tots so I was super stoked & they were very tasty. Our server Justin w kept us hydrated which we were ever so grateful for. read more

Cool atmosphere in the West Loop area. Great selection of craft brews and good menu selection. I had the Big Mick burger which was good. Not the best burger I've had but certainly enjoyable. I chose tots as my side and those were great. read more

A lot to get here. Haymarket of course has beer but it's also a pub. It has a pretty big draft list and menu too. Good stuff but it's pretty expensive so it's not like you just knock a few back here all the time because it's too costly. They amazingly have some vegan and healthier options. I came for fun with a few coworkers. It was busy as it always is. There are some seats at the bar so we ended up being very lucky to get these. Beer is the main thing here of course. They have a lot of they own plus lots of guest taps. I had a Speakerswagon pilsner. It's $7.50 for a pint. This is kind of high for a pint but it is a pretty nice looking craft brewery though. It should be expected. They also have a pretty big food menu. Again it's expensive. The food even more so. I had the Beyond Burger. It's $14 and at least has toppings on it. They load it up. A lot makes it hard to eat. This comes with lettuce, sweet shallots, and tomatoes. A good meal packed with protein. This comes with a side. Good stuff but too expensive to come here on my own very often so maybe in a few months I might come back. It has a big area for entertainment and music. This is a pretty happening place so make reservations if you have a large group if you want a table. read more

Best local spot in the West Loop, with incredible service and knowledgeable staff. While they have a lot of great tasting, creative beer, do not overlook their seltzer options. The Haymarket Punch seltzer is my personal favorite! Their pizza is our go to, as well as the nachos. Eric is a superstar! Thank you for taking care of us! read more

We knew we had to stop for a beer at at least one brewery while visiting Chicago. We were in the West Loop most of the day, and stumbled on Haymarket Brewery. We sat at the bar and the bartender was super nice and he was quick too. If you got low on a drink he was fast at making sure you didn't go empty. The beers choices were good. We went with a hazy IPA and a pineapple beer. They were both good, but nothing to write home about. The place seemed really busy on the restaurant side since the White Sox were playing. Overall is was okay. Maybe other beers would have been better. Maybe next time we visit Chicago. read more

This is one of those places that you walk into and you immediately know you're going to laugh and have a good time. It reminds me of a bar in a sit com that makes you think to yourself "I wish I had a bar like that in my neighborhood" The staff here is so friendly and funny. I always sit at the bar This is the first place I think of when someone says "wanna grab a drink?" read more

This is a really cool looking place the first stop on our venture to visit Chicago. We came in and was greeted right away. We sat at the bar....and sat....and sat.....and sat. Finally, we gave up waiting and left. Sure, the drinks look like they would've been awesome and there was plenty of beers, but the bartender was too busy with the other three people at the bar and his phone. I guess they have money coming out of their ass and they don't need hours. Too bad but we're onto the next location. read more

came in for happy hour after work one day, food & drinks were pretty good. the only things i would say is then cheese on the pretzel & fries is a weird sandy texture that neither my friend or i liked. the service was great! everyone was really friendly & answered any questions we had! the place was pretty big & did not get very packed so it was nice having room & it not be too loud! would return for a happy hour again! read more

This place is known for Bros coming to drink all night. I was in the area and needed a place to eat, and this was my only option that didn't have a wait. The fried cheese curds were a pleasant surprised, topped with a sweet pepper, eat bite had me going in for more. The Southwest Salad was delicious and the freaking was a great compliment. The salad was fresh and the chicken rounded it out nicely. The Diner Burger isn't on the menu. We just wanted a burger without the fancy gimmicks offered on the menu. They did it with no problem. It came with 2 patties and had your traditional juiciness to it. Pretty good, but definitely heavy, just as a burger should be. If your looking for a quick bite and a good beer, Haymarket is a good place in the Fulton Market District. read more

A simply phenomenal experience all around! My friends and I were looking for a spot to watch some of the bowl games, grab a drink and some grub. Haymarket checked off all the boxes. To start, they were running a special where all beer was $4. This truly can't be beat especially considering the wide variety on hand. My favorite of the few I had was definitely the Roxx_a_Doodle_Brew. Easy drinking and very flavorful I should have gotten a six pack to go. In terms of food, I ordered the chorizo Benny (pictured). The sandwich was open faced with two poached eggs on top of a chorizo covered biscuit. It came with a home fry bacon mix. This was a pleasant and delicious surprise. It was very easy to clear this plate. With a lot of TV's, an all-star staff, and great food/drink, Haymarket will be on my shortlist for places to go again! read more
