- This is a great place to take any craft beef geek. They have three separate bars with different beer offerings (I like beer school in the the back the best). Each month they feature a certainbrewery
Eric VenkerFebruary 8, 2015The 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.
Men's Health MagNovember 15, 2011For those 30 days when winter is gone, this place is as close to heaven as you’ll get—pint glasses of basic brew and a good plate of BBQ on a picnic table. It’s the simple pleasures in life.
ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014Plenty of picnic seating abounds, the center of the garden is anchored by a high-boy bar to set your beers and trees provide ample shade during the peak summer months. Read more
Ioanna VasilatouJuly 4, 2017If you enjoy loud dinners, that's for you! The big patio is a plus since the inside bar can be quite noisy. Food menu looked interesting and our choices were fairly good.
Mike FergusAugust 11, 2013It's called Sheffield's because the bar is on Sheffield. Also, they have a large sign that says Chicago. That's because the bar is in Chicago. On Sheffield.
- Chicago Bar BracketMarch 21, 2015Great beer selection & environment. Includes several rooms/bars and an awesome beer garden. If you ever see them hosting a beer dinner, jump on the chance to go.
Sabrina StrajackFebruary 28, 2015Cozy bar that is actually a lot bigger than it looks! It has a few smaller rooms that have their own theme, including a smoker and beer school. Huge beer list!
One of the top beer lists in the city and great patio to eat/chill/watch the game- DavidJune 21, 2018Multiple bars surround a cool beer garden out back, stop in for some drinks after a Cubs game while waiting for the train crowds to die down
Ninah RandolphFebruary 26, 2015The nachos are really good. Try them with brisket. Also the white pizza. Good selection of beer. Went in winter so no beer garden. Will be back for it though
This place is great! Really good BBQ, unpretentious staff, great atmosphere, and friendly crowd. They even have a good vegie option!
Jon B.April 4, 2021Fun little bar near the Belmont ‘L’ stop hosting a sizable draft beer selection, and featuring a nice little beer garden.
Go to the back on your left. The beers are better, it's cozy, the staff is cooler, and the smoke makes every beer taste like Alaskan Smoked Porter or Stone Smoked Ale.
Ryan SMay 31, 2013This place is nothing special. They said its the best beer garden in Chicago, total BS. Its a backyard frat house full of pale skinned tank top wearing 23 year old backwards hatted quasi hipsters.
Get the Pulled Pork Sandwich - Sheffield's Style (FKA The Pork Melt). One of the best things I have ever eaten.
Meredith BAugust 7, 2014Beer of the month is always a good deal. Chill vibe and decent food to pair with their awesome craft beer selection.
Three bars with a diverse selection of craft beers. I prefer the 'Beer School Bar' which is between the other two areas. The 3rd bar is closest to the patio.
Kellen TerrettAugust 10, 2014I try to make it to the tapping of the first Bell's Oberon kegs each summer. Fantastic selection and passion for beer.
BiancaJuly 14, 2019Great patio, lots of interesting beers and wines. Dinning options - BBQ only. Not bad.
Zach DanielAugust 7, 2014Great beer selection! Had a sour beer, lindemans cuvée Rene. Hard to find beer!
One of my favorite beer gardens in the city. Far enough from Wrigley. Shaded by an old oak tree.
Friendly staff... Great place to hang with friends... Or even hang solo!! My favorite neighborhood bar... :-)
BBQ and Beer with an awesome patio. Sheffield's is prime for summertime drinking and Wrigley pre/post hanging.
The beer list here is crazy and each of their rooms has its own menu.
Janoa is the best waitress ever. She will make your hangover tolerable. Best bloody Mary in town.
Great beer. Great BBQ. Great patio. Great staff. Great space. Great everything. When can I move in?
Danielle @DanielleDuncanDecember 22, 2011Amazing beer list, really enjoyed the free monthly wine tasting and you can't beat the $5 glass of wine!- Zach Solomon-BeloinNovember 29, 2014Great patio and multiple bars with different selections and atmospheres.
Ask your server or bartender for the beerschool draft list. They keep the cool/ hard to find beers in back.
Great outdoor patio. Monthly beer specials. Huge beer list
Pulled pork sandwich Sheffield's style with pimiento cheese added, and sweet potato fries
Good beer list. Good sliders. Ok BBQ. Great outdoor patio.- Cute outdoor seating, good beer selection, good for groups and great BBQ!
Liz ThompsonMay 17, 2014One of the best beer gardens in the city. Can't believe there's a good one in Wrigley!
Ask to see the beer school beer menu too. So many good, different options!
Kelly CantonMay 19, 2015Very decent beer list with a room full of the "not so doucheys." Which is dope. People still say dope right?
Best rotating selection of craft beers in the area, great garden too!
Make sure you get out of here before they close the patio at 11 in the summer. It gets uncomfortably packed inside shortly thereafter.
taylor hostNovember 25, 2010you can get beer anywhere. what's unique about Sheffield's are the BBQ bites. if you don't like those, you're a fascist.
If you have a chance go and see The Goola , he is Awesome !
