“If you’re looking for a craft beer, THIS IS THE PLACE. Wide variety of beers, friendly staff, samples allowed. $2 off drafts for happy hour.”
“This place has a lovely atmosphere and seating options, and we had a nice in-between table inside that was also exposed to the outside on the ground floor, which was really nice. The beers are great, and I enjoyed the steak. The beer battered fish and chips were unfortunately so so. The fish tasted good but the batter and fries were so-so. I would return for the steak or to try other dishes. The service is great and we appreciated the kind staff.”
“First time here did not disappoint!! Vibes were great along with the food!!”
“Cracking craft beer bar with a good choice of craft beer. Staff friendly”
“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.”
“It was my first time at Centennial Crafted Beer & Eatery, and I loved it! The place felt cozy and welcoming. The staff were wonderful, super friendly and gave great recommendations for both food and drinks. I’ll definitely be coming back to have the BBQ chicken again. And honestly, finding a spot in River North with such reasonable prices? That’s a win. I’m not a beer drinker myself, but if you are, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend for both small and large groups!”
“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!”
“Do you want a good (REASONABLY PRICED) beer? Do you want good bar food? Come here. Anthony and Trent went above and beyond with customer service.”
“Stumbled here by mistake to kill time for a different bar with a waiting time , needless to say it was amazing . The staff was suuuuuuuper friendly and welcoming , pricing were great , I think the water was filtered also .”
“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 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!”
