The food here is really good. I ordered the fish and chips and it was perfect. I love when fried cod does not have too much batter, that perfect balance of fish and the breading is key. Also the fries were very good as well, they didn't taste overly fried and the texture was still crispy and fresh. Next time I come I definitely have to take more pictures! read more

Alulu Brewpub - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This brewpub had a great drink menu and delicious cocktails. There is indoor and outdoor seating and the vibes are good. Food came out quickly as well. We tried: - beer bread (10/10 - sooo good, I loved the texture and flavor) - oyster mushroom burger (8/10 - mushroom was crunchy but there were a few chewy parts that I didn't like. Still good tho) read more

Staff were extremely friendly, checking in without bothering us either. Got the burger and lumpia. As a Filipino, the lumpia meat filling was yummy n juicy but it didnt cut it for me. Im overly biased with that though, growing up with it. I appreciated the spicy suka/vinegar tho! The burger was good but nothing special, I'm not usually a big burger fan but my friend wanted to split. I also prefer steak/thick cut fries and they do tiny straw fries. I do love the outdoor seating and the dim ambience in the evening. read more

A nice spot for an outdoor dinner and drinks! I didn't get to see the inside because I was with my dog, but the outside is cute with a bunch of tables by the front door. They have a nice selection of beers that seem to rotate seasonally, so if that's your thing, this may be a cool place to try. I got an Austrian beer and was happy with it! The cheese curds were pretty tasty, but I would split them with someone next time and not necessarily get them for just me. The wedge salad was just kinda meh. The pork belly on the wedge salad was pretty lack luster. read more

Definitely my favorite brew pub in the Pilsen neighborhood. They have a wide variety of microbrews on tap with a very extensive menu. If you're not a beer drinker, they also have a bunch of mixed drink specials. The staff is extremely friendly and when you walk in, you'll get the brew pub vibes right away. read more

A solid spot. Service was friendly. Beer and sandwich was decent. Chicken sandwich was juicy. Way too many fries, but fries were tasty. Pricing. Yikes. 2 beers plus a burger and chicken sandwich plus tip about $80. Yikes. Suburbanites...parking is super tight around here. Decent spot. Plenty of beers on draft. Pricing tho... read more

first observation, biggg serving of fries. the shoe string kind with a golden brown fry. Nice & crispy with ketchup & a nice mayo white sauce. Longanisa burger very pork tasting & not much sweet red 40 taste I love about longanisa. It's not a bad thing that it taste less artificial but the shishito pepper & pickled onions balance it well. I love a little sweetness but the whole meal was spiced & savory. Glad I got to try this spot! read more

BEST CHEESE CURDS IN THE CITY. Friendly service. Cool ambiance. Best in the summer when their outdoor seating is available, or on "off hours" when it's just neighborhood folks. One con: it can get loud inside. Love you guys! read more

Best wings anybody will ever have Shishido peppers very good you don't see those too often double cheeseburger very good a little pricey but worth it fries are very good beer is good and the seltzers are pretty good read more

Nice little brewery with a great selection of beers, ciders, seltzers, cocktails, and food. I don't remember the bartender's name but his service was top tier and the pizza was good. Very friendly employees. Would recommend and will definitely return - I'm looking forward to trying more of their food menu options in the future. read more

We've been to Alulu countless times! They have an extensive food and alcohol menu, including draft cocktails. They have plenty of tequila/mezcal options, which makes me happy! And they have a variety of great beer, which makes my husband happy. They have seltzers, wine, some cider and non-alcoholic beverages. There's literally something for everyone! We've had a lot of the food and it's all solid. Pizza is Detroit-style. If you're craving a burger, you've got options and you won't be disappointed. Fish and chips (a special right now) were great - super fresh. They have a wonderful outdoor patio, dog-friendly, that is currently closed for winter. They share the patio with the sushi place next door, so there are even more food and drink options! It's a little small inside Alulu, but there's a fair amount of seating, including the seating upstairs. We've never had trouble finding a table. Inside, the music is very loud and they aren't able to turn it down (we asked). Overall servers are suuuuper friendly and cool. We've always had a great experience. Highly recommend, especially if you're hanging out with people with a variety of dietary preferences. read more

Alulu Brewpub - Fish and Chips - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Alulu is yet another brewery. It kind of fits in with the festive atmosphere in Pilsen. Lots of crowds all the time. Has a more intimate area at the bar for a cozier experience. The prices are kind of high on beer, and the food prices are even higher. For sure I won't complain too much about the prices, because these aren't like these are higher than many other craft breweries. It did make us not get as much as we wanted of course. There was a lot of good things to choose from. Hard choices. The beers are the main thing. It's about $8 a pint. Kind of a lot even at a craft brewery it seems. I had the Aldona. It's a farmhouse ale with green peppercorns and strawberries. Good beer. This had a hotness and sweetness. As for the good, we got the Vegetable Lumpia. It's $12 for a big portion. This is a whole lot of vegetables such as carrots, chickpeas, kale, oyster mushrooms, and potatoes. A lot to eat. This made the prices seem not as bad, so good stuff. Has many beers and good food to choose from. It has an indoor bar and the outdoor patio. There can be long wait times especially on weekends. read more

Great spot for an outdoor dining experience. We arrived and were able to seat ourselves. The service was excellent and our waiter was very nice. It did take a bit for the food to come out. We ordered the burger because it was their special for the evening at $10 and their pepperoni garlic flatbread at $18. Burger was amazing - loved the pickled onions and the garlic aioli sauce. The fries were a bit small and seemed like we got the bottom of the fryer. The flatbread was good but nothing special - Very cheesy which I liked - a good thick crust and a lot of pepperonis Overall a lovely place and I will definitely be coming back. They have some great specials during the weekday which makes it a great value spot as well. read more

Alulu Brewpub - The burger and pepperoni garlic flatbread - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Food was overall decent but the vibe was questionable. I went to alulu on a thursday night. when we arrived, we went into the main restaurant and the music was very loud. The bartender asked if we wanted to sit outside. We decided to even though it was cold because the music was obnoxiously loud, and one of the people i was with is deaf. Our server later explained to us that the bartender is the type to want his music playing very loud which was a little off putting especially because it was pretty late and it wasn't very busy. All of the food was pretty good! The cheese curds were a little greasy but the texture and flavor was really delicious. the impossible burger was really good too (the garlic aioli is perfect). The wings were a little bit dry though and the egg rolls had a lot of meat and not much else in it. I would still consider this place worth checking out, just maybe not the wings/eggrolls. read more

My Bell and I have been to over 70+ breweries in ILLINOIS! Sunday we got to meet Jackson and Jose. Their beer selection was amazing. I let them know this was our first visit and Jackson was warm and Jose absolutely kind. My wife and I love supporting local breweries and they made our experience. I know how much goes into making beer. Service is everything to me. I have been in retail for 25+ years. I pride myself on customer service, seeing it in action makes us customers that will return. We are grateful for hospitality and warmth. See you again soon Brüe Crew Illinois Chapter read more

Excellent food and drinks, a very chill place to kick back with friends, their outdoor seating is perfect in the summer.

Had a get together at this location. While waiting to sit, I approached a young g man at the head of the bar. I told him we had a reservation for 10. He rudely said, "I know" and turned his head to the table. Never asked if we wanted to be seated. We moved to our table and it seemed that we had two staff waiting on us. Not sure who was our actual server. We ordered appetizers for the table. First order came and it was incorrect. The wings were delicious. Grilled peppers were delicious. The zucchini frites were really tasty. The inside seating was small. I think they are more known for outside dining. Overall it was pretty good. I was just turned off by the initial interaction. I came in from the suburbs to attend this dinner but I wouldn't be interested in returning. read more

Great, approachable brewpub with great beats, good comfort food and great salads, and lovely outdoor area. Dogs and small kids welcomed. We loved it and will be back throughout the summer. read more

I've been here at least twice now. Once in the winter and once In the summer. Felt a lot more festive in the summer with the windows open and people dining and drinking out on the patio. Got 2 stouts. I love stouts even in the summer time!! The Mount dwelle plus the Kontra Kavi. They were tasty, hearty beers! Opened up the meal with some cheese curds that shared with friends. Absolutely scrumptious. For entree went with Filipino ribs. Which was my first time ever having and I'd get it again. Came with rice and a kale salad. Salad had some kind of dressing + vinaigrette. Love pickled onions. read more

Tucked in a Pilsen alley you can find Alulu and their delicious list of beer options. I've been to Alulu a couple times and the beers are delicious. My favorite is the Bayto Maxa, if you like fruit and spice, you'll love this. The atmosphere is a little divey but slightly elevated. My friend and I sat at the bar and the service was good. Will definitely visit again! read more

My goodness this was good! This quite possibly could be the second best Brewpub I've been to in the city! While it's on the smaller side, they make up with their food and beer. I got the Dunkle and the Mexican Lager. Both were excellent, but I was especially pleased with the Mexican Lager. I heard that this style is typically the brewer's beer and this was no exception. There was so much care put into this brew! As for the food, also excellent. The beer bread is amazing! I tried it plain and with the pork belly. I actually prefer the plain version slightly because it isn't as heavy. Very nice garlic honey butter with it as well and just enough dil to make it pop! I went with the spicy chicken sandwich which was underrated spicy, but wasn't a glopy mess. The fried chicken sandwich had dry spices and a bit of garlic aioli. Kept the sandwich together and not a mess. The onion dip that came with the fries was also excellent. The service was also surprisingly good! We were a pretty large group that kind of showed up unannounced (not that this place takes reservations). They treated us extremely kindly and helped us rearrange some tables to be more comfortable and safe. I do not know when I am going to be back in the area, but I am certainly going to check this place out. If you are a fan of OIB, you are going to love this quaint place. The only "downside" (which I didn't take off a star) is that they don't have any high chairs. I mean, its understandable, but it wouldn't hurt to have a couple just on hand. It wasn't a big deal, but would have been nice! read more

Excellent vibes, great patio, perfect for the summer. Extensive drink selection. I got the fried chicken sandwich, which was yummy and very crispy. My friend ordered the shishito peppers (not pictured), but they were delicious, would definitely recommend as well! Would definitely return on a nice day to try other things too. read more

This is a great little spot. I love their drink menu. It's a brewpub, so obviously they have a good, varied beer selection--but they offer so much more than beer. They have wine and specialty cocktails, and plenty of interesting non-alcoholic drinks too! You could bring anyone to Alulu and they would be excited for their drink to arrive. They also have a stellar menu. Pizzas and burgers take up about 75% of their menu, but their options still aren't boring or expected. Of everything I've tasted here, my very favorite is their zucchini frites appetizer. Honestly, they did not need to snap so hard on these! They're crispy and light and a little bit spicy and served with a great dip. read more

My favorite thing about Alulu is it's great during COVID. Outdoor picnic tables at distances that are proper. I'm a fan of their outdoor seating. Honestly, staff was okay but I didn't get great vibes from them. I loved a good staff at a brewery so was slightly disappointed. I enjoyed my spicy chicken sandwich and it was indeed spicy for weaksauce me. Nothing mindblowing but I liked it. What will keep me coming back to Alulu are their Smoked beers. Smokeds are so hard to find out there and they had 2 on tap last time I went. One was an imperial smoked which was like heaven to me - pure campfire in my mouth deliciousness. My friends and I tried nearly everything on tap collectively and I found the rest of their beers to be just okay with the exception being their sours. I love a good IPA but my bias is sour & smoked leaning so I consider it a truly good beer if one of those genres blows me away. I'll definitely be back if for nothing more than to get a growler of that imperial rauchbier. I love you, Lord Smoke Flora. read more

Fun place and great brews. When you seat yourself, there are QRs for two menus. Beer pub and Sushi. We all ordered from the beer pub. Very interesting slate of creative beers. Each one I tasted was different and great. Beer cheese curds are killer; even shared, they don't leave much room in your belly; luckily I order the wedge salad and there were plenty of good French fries to snack on. The chicken wings were also good; nice large wings, not over cooked. Back to the salad. Flavorful pork belly, but lacking in dressing. I used the left over sauce from the cheese curds. All in all it's a fun place. Primarily out door seating; plenty of it. Better than usual pub fare, but still a heavy hit in fat. Next visit (and there likely will be) I will likely order food from the Sushi menu and focus on the beer. read more
