I'm usually never in this area, but the first time I came was for a friend's celebration. The food was good. I didn't try any of the beer. The place was well kept and the people were cool. The second time I visited, I sat at the bar and had the Brussels sprouts. They were amazing. I loved our drinks as well. The bartender was super nice and gave great suggestions. Definitely enjoyed both visits.o read more

Visiting my friends who took me to this gem. The wings are amazing and the pizza was great. The service staff are so friendly and it's a great place to bring family and or to come solo. I would definitely come back here again. It's a very casual family place. read more

Great experience time and time again! The rooftop is open, and it's easily one of my favorite spots for the summer. We had to move away from a group of incredibly obnoxious, entitled customers with obvious ties to educational employment, that were treating the staff horribly. Ironically, that same staff gave us above-and-beyond service! (And seriously, to those folks: everywhere charges extra for ranch). Thank you, Open Outcry, for another amazing visit! read more

DO NOT sit on the rooftop. No space warmers even though it was chilly and windy. Food arrived cold and late despite friendly staff, and even then, the primary tastes were salt and sugar with generic spicy pepper sauce. Drinks were good! But food was subpar. read more

Love me a brewery and this one is no exception! Open Outcry has a great atmosphere both inside and on the rooftop. No tv's on the roof though. The food was really good and so was the beer. The Mexi Hot Chicken Sandwich was outstanding. It had great flavor and a lot of kick. I would absolutely order that again. The were enough beer options I ended up with two flights. read more

Horrible service. Nothing else to say. Been coming here for years and tonight was the last. Young male server and female runner have no idea what customer service means. Also you can be charged for items you never receive. read more

Ordered the short rib burger, and it was PAINFULLY thin and overly cooked and not delicious. Our waitress had RBF, not even a single smile or personality! Beer was good but food was ok at best. I miss the old pizza. Pepperoni pizza was (good according to my young adult son). Chicken sandwich was good but "missing something" read more

Stopped in after a round of golf and was starving. The inside was huge with plenty of seating and TVs. Our server was great and always checked in on us. I ordered the butter burger and Chidori super dry beer. The beer was very good. It was the lightest of them all. Now the butter burger was a hit. Patties were smashed to perfection and the buns were buttery with bone marrow! Can't forget the housemade pickles along with the confit garlic mayo. The French fries "cooked in tallow" were super crispy and perfectly seasoned. Reminded me of checkers French fries. Def worth a stop in if you're around! read more

Open Outcry Brewing Company - This was off their limited time Oktoberfest menu. - Breweries Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Just a quick update to my review of Open Outcry from 2022. We've enjoyed Open Outcry several times in the past couple of years, and have always made a point to pop in on the rarer occasion we're this far down the south side. It's always a reliable stop for a decent beer and some good brewery food. That remains the case, even if the highs aren't quite as high as I once perceived them to be. It's still a diverse menu with options you don't see everywhere, like a house made beet/black bean veggie burger or a chicken sandwich with pesto on ciabatta. I will say that while I was excited for that chicken sandwich, this last visit it was subpar. Seasoned well, yes; but the chicken was dry and the ciabatta was stale. I ended up not eating most of the bread, which was unfortunate. The prices have creeped up, as they have everywhere, but don't necessarily reflect prices of the area. Sandwiches start at $18, and desserts are somehow $14?! The beer remains average-to-good in a very crowded craft beer field here in Chicago, but the list has been almost exactly the same the past few visits, which was not always the case. Lastly, while I absolutely love (and was thrilled to finally get to enjoy) the rooftop, the very young waitstaff was, shall we say, less than thrilled to be working. Maybe it was a long day, maybe they'd dealt with one too many drunken fools (there was one lady complaining about an extra $3 on her bill only to later pretend she didn't care), but these guys were so disinterested and unenthusiastic that it definitely was a bit of a distraction. But, that can happen, we've all been there. Overall, this is still a good spot for a weekend hang, and I really wish more places on the north side would be more inventive with their menus (real, homemade veggie burgers please!!) and look into rooftop options! Could you imagine, say, Old Irving with a rooftop? (so much for a quick update) read more

I have to get better at posting my reviews sooner. I hung out here last summer with a friend. It's a very casual hidden gem nestled right in the Beverly neighborhood. Great pizzas and a variety of frozen/summer cocktails The service is pretty neutral. The few times I've been, it wasn't bad, but also not superb. I guess just kind of what you expect, normal customer service I love being able to access a rooftop without having to go downtown. The cute little swings on the main level are also pretty neat. All in all it's a great place for a summer day. read more

If you're going for their Sunday brunch and you order the avocado toast, don't expect it to be even close to what you get at Dunkin or any other breakfast restaurant. It was more like spinach toast. It had 4 very slim slices of avocado on the toast and was topped off with at least 20 pieces of fresh spinach. I had to stop by Dunkin after we left so I could satisfy the taste I had in anticipation of REAL avocado toast. read more

Cool brewery with a great selection of beers. The vibe is casual and there is a table surrounded by swings. Nice bar area. There's a rooftop which I want to check out when it's warmer. Visited for lunch. Server was friendly, patient and accommodating (even when we switched tables). Menu has something for everyone including vegetarian options but the menu items are very different on the Yelp menu. I checked out the menu before I went as I often do and was bummed to find another menu in the restaurant but food was good. read more

I came across this place, because I was looking for a brewery that sold beer flights. So I decided to try them out. They also have a nice selection of craft beers to choose from. Their customer service was great, along with a few tv's close to the bar area for entertainment. The waitress I had was nice, very helpful and patient. From the appetizers I tried the fried garlic breaded cheese curds, with marinara sauce. I'm my opinion the cheese curds and beer are a great combo, I had to go for a 2nd round of the cheese curds. I also tried "The Burger", it only comes with caramelized onions, merkt's cheddar, and dill pickles on a brioche bun. I had mine made medium well with a side a fries that comes with it. The burger was a big size patty that will fill you up. I will be back to try other items from the food & beer menu. I suggest others to check them out as well. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Open Outcry. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The beer was excellent. We tried 3 pizzas and one was better than the next. The homemade croutons on the Cesar salad were the best I have ever had. The roof top is super fun. We will definitely be back. read more

Everything! The food, service and ambiance were all great! You have to try their homemade desserts too!

I have stopped in for a meal and drink quite a few times and I can say the food is consistently delicious. The staff serving/cleaning/bartending were all happy to serve and so sweet with the kids. It's become a local staple for us, one that we recommend to anyone wanting a solid meal and beer. Thank you! read more

I used to love going this place, food was good, atmosphere was good and it felt like part of Beverly! Slowly the food changing away from neighbors streets, and changing the Menu from classics started to turn me away. Loved the old workers who I don't see much anymore - it was such a delight always felt like part of the place - I hope management can turn it around because this new way of running things is turning the Beverly clientele away. Do better read more

Have you ever felt like you were a bother being at a place you're spending money at? Well that's the vibe here. I like the rooftop and the over all ambiance of the place minus the menu set up. We were a family of 7 and they refused to sell pitchers of beer (at the brewery) because they were having an event next week. We ordered the equivalent of a pitcher and would have ordered a second had they not made us buy each glass individually. The space was nice but I didn't like the rules and the food was meh. Beer gardens and breweries in the south have spoiled me so I'm not used to the rigid rules that this establishment had in place. read more

I had a burger that was excellent. Cooked perfectly and taste very good. Server was very friendly and able to offer good beer recommendations since it was my first time here. The ambiance was nice as the patio offered a good outdoor seating area on the roof with a nice space. The music was pretty good also. The downstairs offered a seating area that was nice with large brewing stations to see. Bright colors and can be kid friendly. I would go back I believe the mosaically-yours ipa , delerio ipa, and the ideative-dom ipa beers were my preferred choices. Worked out well since I enjoy IPAs. The speculator cream ale...I literally felt like I could taste the corn flavor in it. Very interesting flavor. Overall, if you like trying out new beers its a place to stop in and visit and get a good burger or salad why not. read more

Brice was amazing as a server. He made the entire experience perfect for two ladies who wanted to connect. Thank you!!!

I think this place has great food, but there is some improvement that could be had. Will I come again yes, will I recommend yes. The prosciutto pizza, the prosciutto, reminded me a little bit more of bacon then the typical thin ham slice. I would have also preferred if the toppings were speed out to the end more. The muscles and linguine was very good. They did not have enough pasta, they needed so much more. The taste was very good if they had more sauce on the muscles I think that would have been great too, but the portion size of noodles was not good, it was too small. The beer, battered cheese curds were amazing. I would order those over and over and over again. read more

Not a good look for the owner to be yelling at a table of adults over how to place food or drink orders. Jeesh. Same with the younger female behind the rooftop bar. PS if someone hands you a tip for a WATER, it may be a good idea to say thanks. read more

My girlfriend and I do lunch once a week and it has been a real chore finding restaurants that are still open. I have to admit that this place is a hidden gem. I loved everything about this restaurant; the ambiance, the service and the food. Not to mention we were sitting in a dome! How cool is that! We started with the poutine; very delicious roast beef and gravy over crispy fries and white cheddar cheese curds. Then came the ribs; very flavorful, fall off the bone tender with a lip smacking sauce. Although our belly's are getting full, we wrapped it up with the pizza. The pizza is fire roasted with pepperoni and red pepper flakes topped with a sweet drizzle of honey. Roll me out the door please. Our bar tender was nice enough to unlock the gate so that we could peek at the rooftop. What a treat it was, and what a view. This restaurant has built 4 custom themed cabins that you can rent out for up to 10 guests. The price of 170$ includes your drinks; you can have all beer or beer and wine. The custom cabins will be up till March. Then the rooftop will be filled with domes. Thank you Open Outcry for such an awesome experience! read more

Food was decent enough but our server was not. Did not introduce herself. We were made to feel like we were a bother to her. I asked for another beer and she failed to get it for me. When I pointed it out her response was I didn't charge you for it. There are other places to go to that will appreciate my business so this is on my do not return list. read more

I absolutely love this brewery. Every time I've come in here, the beers on tap have been exciting and new. The staff is very friendly and the food is fantastic and consistent. The wood fire pizza is the best around. I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 because the only downside that they have is when a customer has been there for a couple hours and clearly spending some good money on food and ale, a pint "on the house" would be a nice gesture. I could also just be spoiled from my adventures at other great breweries that do that practice. Just a suggestion, hospitality goes a long way. Other than that minor tick, I love this place and will return regularly. read more

I attended a Saturday afternoon roof top private party and what a great venue. Plenty of seating, umbrellas, tables with a rooftop a bar. It appeared that a staff member for the party was with us the entire time & very attentive. Outdoor stair entrance to the roof so not sure if there was a handicapped entrance. Other than the 90 degree temperature it was a really nice event. Good luck to the new owners. Wish you well read more

A friend and I stopped in for a late lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. Plenty of seating options ranging from a traditional table, table with swings instead of chairs, some oversized chairs/loveseats in a low-lit back corner for a more intimate setting, and a large outside rooftop patio. We sat in tall stools at the bar. The bartender was friendly and attentive and was quick to offer her recommendations when we asked. My only complaint was that there was a bit of an old, wet basement smell in the whole space and visible condensation dripping from the pipes overhead. To be fair though, it was an extremely hot day. We shared a prosciutto arugula pizza and were initially skeptical about the lemon drizzle, but it was absolutely delicious. The crust was amazing and I can't even tell you why, but it was. I'd bet the rest of their pizzas are awesome too. We also had a Nelsome (neipa w/Nelson Sauvin hops) which was super hoppy and hazy and we loved it. We also had a Delirio (neipa w/citra and mosaic) which was also good but heavy on the mosaic and had a bit of a stinky feet taste. If you like mosaic though, this might be your jam. Overall good experience and we bought a couple 4 packs to bring home. read more

This place is amazing!! The food is fab & generous. great bar menu as well, & the place is roomy & energetic. the service is above & beyond too. they have a rooftop with music for summer days which is really nice.

I was so excited to find a brewery with pizza, but was disappointed on both fronts. I had the Louis Winthorpe NEIPA which was super oxidized. You can see how brown it is in my picture, and it had basically no hop aroma or flavor. I don't understand how they aren't embarrassed to serve this. I had the arugula and prosciutto pizza, which was more of a flatbread style pizza. I liked the lemon dressing on the arugula, but there wasn't enough cheese on it. It tasted ...boring, for the lack of a better word. The interior is modern and hip, and the place was busy and loud on a Tuesday night. Overall, beer was bad and food was meh, and as cute the interior is, I won't be back. read more
