We had Dylan as our sever and he made our first experience so wonderful! His walk through of the beer list was very helpful and knowledgeable and he made wonderful recommendations. Highly recommend the pickled seasonal veggies and short rib!

Booked the St. Patrick’s Day Prix Fixe Menu on a Saturday at 1 pm through Open Table. Was told that they didn’t serve that menu until 3 pm. Open Table should remove that option. The waiter was incredibly apologetic and comped our first round of drinks for the inconvenience.

We had a delicious meal and great service. Only disappointed they don’t have spirits so beer only options. Location is great, building is lovely and was pleased to see they had a shop and coffee bar. I’ll be back!

We stopped in before a 6:30 Blackhawks game for a pint and a happy hour appetizer. Guinness was poured to perfection and the brown bread was delicious! Great place if you want great beers and American-ish food with a few Irish staples to choose from on the menu.

We both had salads for a quick lunch near our office. Food was surprisingly good. Elevated pub grub using fresh ingredients in tasty preparations. Server wasn’t very attentive but the cavernous place was entirely empty except for us—makes it hard to be in top form when there’s no energy in the room. I’d go back.

Had a wonderful family dinner for my mom’s birthday. Food was amazing, and you can’t go wrong with a cold Guinness. We took advantage of the beer-foam printer with the birthday girl’s face on it, which was super cool. We will be returning!
