“Great pub with a fantastic selection of brews & cocktails. You can smell the kraut as soon as you enter.”
“Great food, great beer, and fast service. Had the Dats Da Joose and Der Reisende, delicious in their own rights. The beef sandwich hit the spot for my first night in Chicago. They get beer and food right. Worth checking out if you're visiting.”
“All of the beer we tried was delicous. Was a quick stop. The pretzel was tasty. Loved the mustard.”
“Friendly welcome and prompt service. Our bartender spent time chatting with us and about where we were from and also gave us some good recommendations of areas and restaurants to visit. Beer was awesome. Thank you.”
“Cool atmosphere and great beers! The staff was friendly and talked to me about the beers and had some excellent recommendations. I admittedly did not try any food while here so I cannot comment on that. But if you’re looking for some solid German beers, this is a great spot!”
“Great beer and on of the best Angus beef burgers I’ve ever had in America, home made chips simply amazing”
“One of the very few on-site breweries in Downtown Chicago. Nice selection of mostly German Brew styles with nice finger food. Cozy place. Definitely Recommended.”
“This brewery offers a delightful experience for those looking to enjoy special beers along with light meals. The award-winning selection of craft beers is impressive, showcasing a variety of unique flavors that cater to different palates. Each sip reveals the dedication to quality and creativity in brewing.

Whether it's a quick bite or an afternoon of tasting, this brewery is a must-visit for beer enthusiasts and casual diners alike.”

Extensive list of beers with a focus on German Styles, but really something for everyone (even an award winning juicy IPA). Great food in a beautiful restaurant with plenty of old country feel. Beautiful large wood bar is warming and welcoming when you need to duck in from the bitter wind. Beers are tasty and you will not be disappointed you stopped by. @adamsstreetbrewery @berghoffchicago @brewersassoc @homebrewassoc @touchdownbrewery #ParkerPose #BeerLife #BeerLove”
