Went there for dinner recently. While I cannot drink alcohol, the restaurant still made me greatly satisfied! The food and service were both top-tier. For food I got the a chorizo empanada, a veggie empanada, butternut squash soup, and short rib entrée. My server asked for the order of food to be served, which was surprising to me as I did not expect a brewpub would care about such details! Anyway I got the two empanadas first. These were their Wednesday specials. The chorizo empanada had a slightly spicy kick. The veggie empanada was filled with potato, carrots, etc.
Then I got the soup. It filled a large bowl which is indeed enough for a light meal! The soup was very creamy and tasted sweet. Highlight was the sage herb and brown butter solids, which added some distinct flavor to it. It was perhaps my favorite food.
Finally I got the short rib entrée. Tasted good but kinda usual--the only creative point was the sweet drops, which surprisingly paired well with the savory meat.
Service was great. The bartender asked my experience for each dish. The one who gave me the dishes introduced them. Above all, service was pretty quick!
Another interesting point is the vibe. The restaurant looks like a large factory haha. Very spacious. Love the floor height. And you can see them brewing at the back of the restaurant!
In general it was a great dining experience. The restaurant was not just for having drinks, but also great for individual dining. Will go there again the next time I go to Chicago! read more
