Cheddar Broccoli???
Oliver D.

What a great find! The store looks small from the outside BUT it's large. Not only do they have a large beer selection but they also have a large selection of sours. Some of the beers available have unusual flavors like the cheddar broccoli. They have 17 beers on tab and you can order sample flights or by the glass. The staff is knowledgeable about the beers they sell.

Beer On the Wall, shares a wall with Off the Wall cafe. Plenty of taps, pours, and just anything beer related, Beer On the Wall is your go-to for your alcoholic needs. They have a small seating area with a couch, and dining table, topped off with a classic 8-bit Nintendo to just hangout and sip on your beer. Everyone is super nice and friendly. BATHROOM REVIEW: If you like orange, this is the unisex bathroom for you. Super clean, super functional, and super pleasant. Sit or squat? Sit!

Lemon Shandy. Super tasty.

This place is awesome. A beer drinkers paradise. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell these guys have passion for beer.

Chilling video game spot

I'm so glad I stopped in today and took a breather in this nice air conditioned place to have a beer. And buy an assortment of beers too. Love that they take orders online and have a table load of pickups ready. I was up for the adventure of finding things I drank before. Using this nice space to sit and chill and have a beer on tap is the best. Sure, if you have a crowd and have on sun screen sit outside. I believe normally there is reservations needed for sitting on the weekend, but this is a chill place and I totally won't bother with going to Binnys anytime soon. There cooler is a veritable candy store of chilled options yet breweries are ok with having their 4-6 packs of beer broken up so you can also pick out ones that aren't chilled to take home. Love that today I asked if there was any Maplewood and they pointed out the newest arrival. Just waiting for them to enter it in the system now.

My flight- delicious!!!

Great place! Knowledgeable staff(especially Eric). Amazing selection of beers. You can choose one of the 12 beers on tap. I like to get flights. You can get a single can/bottle from the fridge or pick one off the shelf and they will cool it. You can also buy 6 packBoard games too. No food but you can order from local restaurants. I love this place. Everyone is friendly. Kids are welcome. Come here- you will love it!!!! Even during COVID-19 this place is great. Just sat outside and enjoyed a flight and some signature cocktails from off the wall(the place next door). The CDC was good- chai daiquiri cocktail. Different but refreshing and a bit of alcohol in it! Love this place. You can order beer for pick up- which we have been doing the last few months. Everyone is so nice here and they really know their beer. They don't serve food but you can order from next door and sit here. Love this place!!!

A haven for any craft beer enthusiast! Take home any single of the beers they've got in the store or hang around and grab a nice, cold beer on tap on a hot day. There's over 600+ beer and they've got their entire list with prices on Untappd. In the store, unfortunately, there aren't any prices marked so it's helpful to look at everything on Untappd before heading over. It's a great place with rare finds like Cigar City's Marshal Zhukov's and local brews from local breweries. The guys behind the bar are really knowledgeable and very friendly!

Amazing iced coffee :)
Ayatt A.

Beer On The Wall is such a fun place and a breath of fresh air. You can go relax, have coffee or a beer, and play games with friends. They have a huge selections of beers and ciders, and even some wine. The fellow working was extremely knowledgeable and helped us select beers that he thought we would like based on our taste, and he wasn't wrong!

Awesome place to hang around and drink beers with friends! Great selection of beer! They have a bar inside where you can order beers on tap. Outside seating too

Hazy IPA's

Amazing place. Knowledgeable staff. Great selections of all types of beer. A hidden gem!

By the sound of the name, if you are thinking this to be like any other bar where you go get some drinks, order food and watch sports , sorry ...you are wrong :). To start with, yeah they have great abs variety selection of beer. If you are someone who dearly enjoy beer and experiment, this would be the place for you. Surprisingly they have various sizes/portions you could try starting with 4 Oz. And did I tell you that you can actually buy bottles/cans to take home. Though you don't get to experience watching sports in TV, you have a lot of options to choose from the board games you can sit and play ....and a classic Nintendo too :). This is a place where you can sit and relax with your group, play some games and have fun. Try open pretty early compared to a lot other places I.e 6:00 AM during weekdays. If you re thinking "Who wants to grab a beer that early" the grab a coffee .. yes they have that too. They don't serve any food although you can bring your own from outside and enjoy it while you drink. This is not your typical kind of bar, it's more than that. You will enjoy your visit !!

A short fuse and a close call…read more After Emily and I checked in to our hotel room, we wanted to stretch our legs and see if there was anything nearby for some beer and some food. Turns out, Short Fuse was right up the road and a 5 minute walk got us there. For a Sunday, it wasn't too busy but not dead, so we got seated right away. We ordered some beer and took a look at the menu. While nothing really struck our fancy, our waitress made a comment that if we did want any food, it might be slim pickings as they were running out of stuff. Turns out, this day was the last day they were open. Talk about timing! After she mentioned that, I started to notice that people were buying bar signs and various other things. Emily started off with a Guava Gose and I grabbed a Krankshaft kolsch. We sampled each other beers and we both really liked what the other ordered. I don't really know what a gose is but, damn, was that good! I've had Krankshaft before so I knew what I was getting myself in to. We ended up ordering a second round of the same beers and let each other sample the other's beer a little more liberally this time. While we were kind of hungry, nothing on the menu really struck our fancy, especially considering they might've been out of it. Room service took care of those hunger pangs later after a few more beers in the hotel bar. Online reviews for this place seemed hit and miss but I really enjoyed my time there and really enjoyed the artwork on the walls and the vibe of the place. We did contemplate buying some bar signs on our way out but declined as we don't know what we would exactly do with them. It sucks to see a small business close but they did say they may try to open up a new place in a new location in the future.

Enjoyed the wide variety of beer options. The food was okay, but it's definitely worth coming for…read morethe beers! I loved their Bear-ie White and Loosey Juicy. The waitress was friendly and gave great recommendations. I also loved the huge space with its superhero vibes. Parking was limited, but it's totally worth checking out.

The Yelp reviews were mostly five stars, and it was touted to be a locals' favorite, so we decided to give it a try. We both chose the patty melt with a cup of vegetable soup. The soup sounded like an excellent choice on this cold cloudy day. The food, the service and the ambience were all wonderful. We finished off the meal sharing a slice of hot peach pie with vanilla bean ice cream. It was all fantastic.

Established (as the wall told me) in 1936, I expected "Polish" to be in menu alone...and I was wrong. The gal behind the bar had an accent. Halfway through the Bears game, I started hearing folks concerning and cheering in Polish. I felt like I had slipped into a cool little club to which I would never have otherwise been invited. Loud (but not too loud) and boisterous. I read some other reviews talking about rude regulars: rubbish. Chicago is loud and direct. If you don't like that vibe, the shoulders in this city may just be a little too broad for you. The pierogi and the pyzy were great, both served with sour cream. The beers, while not draft, had a wide, Euro-leaning selection but still respected some local favorites (Old Style). Good food. Good folks. Confusingly brilliant ambiance. You're missing out if you skip The Log Cabin.
