Kaiser Tiger
Kaiser Tiger stands out for its house-made German beers, huge draft selection, and crowd-pleasing sausages—especially the beer-and-bacon Polish, brats, and sausage-and-cheese board—alongside a crisp smash burger, Bavarian pretzel, and brisket sandwich. With multiple rooms, games, sports-bar energy, and a lively beer garden near the United Center, it’s ideal for pre-game drinks or groups; patio mosquitoes and uneven vegetarian options are worth noting.

“They had a great selection of beers... a bit of the known and a few less known. Great vibe! There were several rooms and a great outdoor area for nights when Chicago weather is on point.”
“We ate lunch at Kaiser Tiger before the NCAA basketball game and thought the lunch was okay. Thought the burger and sausages were fine but not as exciting as other reviewers thought so you may want to check it out for yourself. The server was okay, it wasn’t crazy busy yet when we got there but felt she wasn’t very attentive. It is an easy walk to United Center and we made a reservation ahead of time.”
“This place is seriously fantastic. We went on a Saturday night before the Rush concert. Got lucky and got in! They have several house made German beers that are really Good! Had a Bavarian pretzel and a beer/bacon Polish sausage that was the best I’ve ever had! Any time I’m in Chicago going forward I will be eating here!”
“Great find! Amazing espresso martinis!! Good smash burgers. Great employees great personalities. Perfect place either to wait to pick up family from a united center event and or park in structure next to them grab a bite and take their free shuttle to the event!”
“Came to Kaiser Tiger for dinner before heading out in the West Loop and honestly this place is a vibe. Got the brisket sandwich, pretzel app, and a couple draft beers. Food came out quick, portions were solid, and the beer selection is crazy good if you’re into craft stuff. The outdoor beer garden is clutch when the weather’s nice too. Definitely one of those spots you keep coming back to.”
“Got the sausage‑and‑cheese board and a cold IPA flight—both were spot on and the bartender handed me a free beer sampler after a quick chat about the new kegerator. The kitchen was buzzing but my burger arrived hot, with a perfectly crisp tomato slaw that had me licking the plate. The staff kept a friendly eye on the table, refilling drinks before I even asked, and the outdoor patio was a nice chill spot for a pre‑game buzz.”
“Nous avons passé un très bon moment dans ce pub avant un match de NHL des Blackhawks et nous avons adoré l'ambiance. De nombreuses bières pressions disponibles à des prix corrects. Petit plus pour les différentes activités proposées afin de pouvoir s'amuser ! Très bon endroit !”
