Ross Guthrie: Yes, get the CBJ & wash it down with a great beer on tap. Get there eraly or make reservations: can get quite crowded on weekend evenings.
Obadiah Poundage: Snag the CB&J - an adult grilled cheese made with cashew butter and fig jam and a side of Stilton Mac & Cheese - and pair it up with one of many draught beers, or a rarity from the south bar fridge.
Lindsay Erin: Besides the best Belgium list they now have wine and Prosecco on tap!

Matthew Patterson: One of the best draft beer selections in Chicago. The burgers and fries are mediocre but their homemade ketchup is delicious

Roosevelt Collection: They have Three Floyds Gumballhead on tap! Great craft beer selection.

Lisa W: What an awesome revamp! The lounge itself is enough to go. Decor reminds me of Twin Peaks red room, haha. Great beers on tap, good specials, and I had a huge cheap delicious Sailor Jerry cocktail.
FLee Queen of Tarts: Intelligentsia coffee, beers on tap, full bar, chocolate covered bananas along w/all the standard movie snacks. Great admission prices also make it a great choice. Support indie theaters!
Ryan Stemple: Iconic Logan Square hub for cheap movies with full bar. A good selection of craft beers on tap, and there are often fun themed cocktails to go along with their classic film screenings.

Pub · North Side · 20 tips and reviews
Gareth Jones: There's a selection of hard to get British ales on tap, great for the expats. Beautifully refurnished for its reopening, the atmosphere is relaxed and the food delicious.
Joe Syke: The food is decent, but you can find better British pub fare elsewhere for the same price range. I also found their draft beer list a bit lacking. I'd recommend going to Owen and Engine instead.
Timothy Padden: I love the Lion Stout they have on tap from Lion Brewery Ceylon in Sri Lanka.
Alice: Always decent beers on tap. Galaga, Theater Magic, and Tapper make it even better. Bring cash for tokens.
Katie Buckner: They have a great beer selection and boulevard on tap. A must visit on any trip to Chicago
Chicagoist: This Wicker Park location has more standalone games and pinball machines than the Logan Square location, plus it features 20 craft beers on tap. What could be a better combination? Read more.
Bob Egan: Ask your server or bartender for the beerschool draft list. They keep the cool/ hard to find beers in back.
John Field: Drink a beer. Draft, bottle or a whiskey.
Eric Venker: The beer garden is legendary, as is the beer selection. Pros know that the best action can be found at "Beer School" -- the bar-within-the-bar inner sanctum offering its own epic tap list.

Cali Cernauskas: Great food! Awesome pub atmosphere. I can't wait to come back and try more of their huge draught beer selection.
Christopher Floss: Great German/Bavarian feel to this place! Had a good German wiessbier on draft. Tons of other options for those who like specialty beers from all parts of the world.
Zach Daniel: Such a strange little wooden pub nestled right next to a bunch of huge skyscrapers. Excellent selection of craft beers, with a bunch on draught.
