“Great selection of craft beer served by friendly knowledgeable beer lovers.”

Great selection of craft beer served by friendly knowledgeable beer lovers. Some of the bourbon barrel aged beer is absolutely magic in a glass. Be sure to ask if they have anything not on the menu as they rotate heads.

My second time here while visiting Chicago. Great beer selection and the food was very good. I'll definitely visit again next time I'm in the city.

Centennial is in a gorgeous historic building and the vibe was very cozy, neighborhood bar. Sadly the kitchen was closed, but we had great local beers, they have a large list of on tap and bottles/cans. I didn’t see a lot of macros on the list, which I always appreciate. There was also a long list of spirits and mixed drinks. I was tempted by an Aperol spritz made with beer, I’ll have to go back!

“This is my type of place.”

This is my type of place. Really cool pub vibe, friendly service, tasty food, and a rare variety of beer on tap. Will make a point to go every time I'm in Chicago.

“We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Centennial in their second floor dining...”

We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Centennial in their second floor dining space and had the best time!! Planning the event with Jeff and Beth was easy and we couldn’t be happier with the service provided, delicious food, and amazing atmosphere. The upstairs area was perfect for hosting around 80 guests with a buffet and a good amount of seating. Our guests had so many great things to say about the food and beer/cocktails - all of our local friends will definitely be going there to eat more often! My husband and I had our second date at Centennial, so it was really special to be able to kick off our wedding weekend with such a wonderful event!

“My favorite place in all of Chicago.”

My favorite place in all of Chicago! After spending a week there for work and crawling all over the city, I did not come here until the final evening, and I regret it. Great selection of craft beers, interesting and delicious food selection - I had a frankfurter hot dog which was great - and superb and attentive bartenders and staff. The feeling of hometown bar in such a big city is rare, but this is where I felt at home. Next time I’m in town I’m definitely coming back, and I cannot recommend it enough if you’re up for a bite and some very good beer!
