My husband and I came with our daughter here and we were blown away. The atmosphere is really cool…read more We really loved the vibes and the decor. We both got flight flights and then I had a avocado Caesar salad salad with chicken and my husband had a Smashburger. We ordered my daughter chicken burgers and fries of course lol. Everything was delicious and we would 100% go back.

Checked out this hip looking brewery. It certainly is one of the many places to go to in The Loop…read more Industry Ales is a place that has a lot more than just beers, which is a good choice, because there's all kinds of people who crowd in and want to have fun times. Amazing that fun isn't always beers and chugging. The food is actually good and can be talked about in reviews because some people actually come here to eat, which tells you how they actually have a kitchen. Believe everything is good here but we came for the beers of course. It's certainly the main product made here so why wouldn't it be important. They make more than you can believe which is impressive because there's all kinds of crowds who pass through. For sure everyone wants beer. It's $6 a pint at happy hour. Pretty great for craft beers compared to lots of places it seems. Best one we got was the Bucket Hat. This is a Belgian style witbier. Has notes of bubble gum, coriander, and orange. The food isn't an afterthought so get some of that. It's about $18 for a burger. Vegans have options. Certainly one of these is the Veggie Burger. This is an amazing thing with a spinach patty topped with chipotle tomato marmalade, cremini mushrooms, mixed greens, pickled red onions, and sweet potatoes. All on a fluffy ciabatta bun. The rest of the menu contains meaty stuff. For sure it feels like a place for the hipsters but it's pretty great for anyone. It's located at the intersection of Jackson and Wabash close to lots of fun. The brewery has food that's better than expected but many other things about this kind of stuff are typical.

I enjoyed my drink.. It was pretty warm inside so we sat outside on the patio area and that was perfect because it wasn't hot out there and it was actually a little nice breeze as well. They're also was two food trucks that were on the corner and then they also have food too, but I didn't try any of the food.

Met some friends here for dinner and overall had a good experience despite a mix-up with the food…read more Our server accidentally got part of out order wrong and brought out the wrong dishes for two of our friends. This caused a bit of confusion and an extra wait before everything got sorted out. To their credit, they apologized, and brought our table a complimentary round of drinks, I had the pork belly sandwich with fries, and it was really tasty. My wife enjoyed the chicken adobo, and the beers were also very good. Service hiccup aside, I'll likely come back

This is one of our favorite local spots…read more Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service. They have an extensive schedule of events and pop-ups so definitely check Instagram so you know what to expect before you show up! On Monday's, their regular kitchen is closed, but they usually have a pop up. They have a rotating selection of beers on tap along with a few standards. They mostly serve their own products so don't go in and expect a Bud Light, but rest assured that whoever is behind the bar will help you find something you like. Their canned gin and tonic is my personal go-to.

My friends and I came to Mars for a book club meeting and wow, it was such a vibe. I did not expect…read moreto like it this much. The area initially threw me off a bit. It is surrounded by factories and buildings that look a little abandoned, so it feels a little sketchy pulling up. But once you walk inside, it is a completely different experience. The space is beautiful, with a great layout, a central bar, and plenty of seating. It is mostly seat yourself, and you order drinks at the bar, but they do bring food out to you and clear your table. The staff was friendly and took the time to explain how everything works, which I appreciated. Now the food. So good. I have had a favorite taco spot for the past few months, but this place honestly raised the bar. They are known for their fried cheese tacos and they absolutely live up to the hype. The shrimp was delicious and the sauce reminded me of a seafood boil, rich and flavorful. The salsa verde was also great. I also had the fries topped with fried cheese, cilantro, and onions, and they were just as good. Everything smelled amazing and everyone at the table loved their food. One thing I really loved is their drink options. They have great cocktails, but also offer well crafted mocktails that feel just as intentional. On top of that, they have THC and CBD drinks, which really adds to the relaxed, laid back vibe. Overall, it is a great place to sit, hang out, and enjoy good food and drinks for as long as you want. I will definitely be back.

Five star for a gastropub. COME HUNGRY AND PREPLAN…read morePARKING There are no spirits served here. Just beer and beer based drinks. Two things to note right off: I read somewhere there was a valet and there wasn't. They said there was street parking and everything was taken for blocks. They gave us directions to a parking ramp about a block away. I would call ahead for directions if you go there. We were seated immediately. The hostess was very friendly and helpful. Our waitress was very nice and efficient. The only time we found ourselves looking for her was at the very end for our check. All our food was amazing! There was only one problem: it was all very filling. (We didn't mind though :) ).We took most of our entrees home. The menu is very much comfort food themed. The wait times were good. And the drinks were good as well. It is an open air concept. Kind of industrial reminiscent. This makes the acoustics great and the room loud at times. It was loud when we were there. We had a great time once we were seated. The Parking was a headache, but once we got past that we were fine. I'd say definitely give them a try. Just make sure you're hungry!

You would think this would be a great spot to watch a game but the TVs are very up high and you…read morecan't herder them but the worst part is the service. Ended up here to watch the World Cup game, the place was not packed the everywhere around was, we asked for a table they said they were all reserved, fair enough but the we were left just standing there. One of party asked if the patio was reserved as is completely empty. The hosts seemed to be put off and said yeah it's first come first serve , no food or bar service. Just really did not want us there. We grabbed some beers , the bartender was veryy nice, he was the only one, everywhere we walked we were pushed and yelled at by wait staff, they just were not pleasant. Then the food I mean what a joke, we asked the bartender if we could order food and pick it up at the bar, he told us he'd have it delivered to us at our patio table, which we were told was not possible. Ok the food arrived, our order of fries was literally 6 fries, I am not kidding, we got some pretzel bites, I think there were 6, wtf. The only thing reasonable was a bread platter I didn't order it so not sure what it was but everyone was ordering so there you go. I doubt they will be around long, I will never return.

A bit out of the way but worth the trip if you love the experience of a good craft beer tap room…read more Great beers! Not a place to get food, BUT the pretzel WITH the cheese sauce is a MUST - best I've ever had and I order pretzels off pretty much every bar menu. It's order at the bar service. The building is kind of junky looking on the outside, in a run down industrial area but the inside is nicely restored.

My beverage/beer order was the Night Moth Oak-Conditioned Hazy IPA | 7.2% | 12oz/8 - 5oz/4. I recommend this if you are a fan of Hazy IPA's.

Bar seating, regular tables and high top tables available here.

Wish I could give a 3.5 stars. I applaud the true creativity. But every order was a mixed bag…read more Fried chicken sandwich - 3.5/5. Pickles are the star. Cut through heaviness. Magical first few bites. But chicken gets boring. Crispy Brussels sprouts - 3.5/5. Solid fry level. Cheesy bites are delicious. But quickly bland. Raisins is an unexpected addition but unsuccessful in my view. Kids grilled cheese - 4/5. Tasty and simple, though my kid wasn't willing to try. Duck and dumpling - 3.5/5. I can see how this is someone's favorite dish. Lovely rich broth. Crispy skin. But there was a heaviness that didn't totally work for me, especially with the bigger duck chunks. Definitely better fresh than leftover. Chocolate beer cake - 3.5/5. Slightly dense cake. Nice frosting. Beer aroma and flavor definitely comes through. Hazelnuts a nice crunch. Fun and glad to have tried, but not reaching for the next bite.

Yes well this was our first stop - well actually our second stop since we cleaned out the Whole Foods hot bar next door to enjoy with our beer.
