    Excellent place for really great craft beer selection and for BACON! Really friendly staff. Hung out for an extremely pleasant afternoon, made to feel at home although it was my first time there.

    Solid ever changing beer list. Ask the bartenders whats new and exciting and taste something new. Easy walk over to the UC after pregame drinks.

    One of the few outdoor bars that remains so even in the winter: The cold-tolerant can even enjoy curling on the beer garden during the frigid months. And in the summer it turns into a bocce court.

    Bacon grenades and one of the good IPAs from their great beer selection will do it. Really hungry? Get the Bacon Bomb sandwich.

    Are you ready to have fun?! This place is great especially winter time. Beers, Sausage and CURLING! Yes-curling though no threat to the Olympics. Great outdoors area. Staff is terrific. Cheers!

    Shepard's Pie (a hearty mixture of house ground lamb and beef, peas and carrots and topped with mashed potatoes), with a side of hot sauce

    Really nice beer menu. Pretty much everything on the food menu has bacon on it which is awesome. Had the salmon blt which was good. Also the frites are a must

    Beer and wine selection is very good. The food options are hit or miss. Embrace the menu and go for the pouting and sausages. Curling in the winter/bocce in the summer make this place a group hang.

    Get a "Bomb Sandwich" and whatever beer of the month is. Then go outside, sit, and enjoy. If you're cold, they have colorful blankets for you to use too.

    Looking for a good beer and sausage, you’ve found the right spot! If you’re visiting during the summer, check out the amazing patio and in the back!

    Upstairs bar has a great skyline view and most of their beers can be purchased in 5oz sizes for $2-$4. It's like making your own beer flight. Food is basically the same as Paddy Long's, which is good.

    Beer & Bacon is delicious. And the Motor Row Out of the Loop IPL is amazing if you're looking for a beer.

    Appetizers were fairly small. Order beer - the bartenders couldn't make a cocktail for the life of them. Sausages we're great, as were the fries. They had very creative/delicious dipping sausages.

    The draft list is well curated and constantly rotating. The house-made sausages are always excellent as well.

    I hated this place when it opened but it's gotten better. The food is still ridiculously priced but the beers on tap are reasonably priced and the beer garden outside is lovely.

    The beer list improves and the patio is pretty legit, but the service continues to be somewhere between iffy & unacceptable, & the clientele is frustrating. Hopefully the trend of improving continues.

    Best when you can enjoy the large patio outdoor. Great sausage, best chorizo.

    Great sausages. Also curling on the patio during the winter months, 40$ for 30 minutes, but no brooms or walking on the ice.

    Pretzels are HUGE and didn’t come out that hot. Service was a little slow. Great beer menu

    Definitely not vegetarian-friendly, since it's all about sausage and bacon; HUGE beer list

    The Kaiser Royale Burger was terrible. The two very thin under-salted patties were both dry as a bone. Cheese was minimal and flavorless, bacon over cooked. Left hungry 👎🏼👎🏼 $12 and no sides.

    Food was ok. Casings were a bit tough to bite, so a knife & fork were necessary. Serving non alcoholic drinks in plastic disposable cups was strange. Concept is good, just needs some improvement.

    Sat down with my 17 year old son and was promptly ignored by the staff. The host was friendly, but a server did not come near us for 10 minutes. We left without ever having a server approach us.
