The staff, the selection, the atmosphere, the outdoor seating are all incredible. Love this place! What a gem!

Came here for a local meet up for some friends. They were about to celebrate their wedding the next day. The bar staff was extremely friendly and we had the area in the back nice and quiet to ourselves. They have so many different beers to try it's amazing! They do a great job in hosting events for small parties and they were extremely attentive and friendly. We will return when in the area. read more

Beermiscuous - Inside - Beer Bar Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

A more upscale version of a dive bar. A chill bar? There are a bunch of boardgames that people can grab to play games, there's also a fireplace for those cold nights, there's also a bunch of beer on tap for those beer lovers. They also let outside food in. The best part about this bar is that it never gets full so it's a good spot to meet up with friends or even host events. It's a good casual spot. read more

The more I come back to Beermiscuous the more I love it. And the more I wonder why we don't have more beer cafes in the US like this. Imagine a coffee shop but for beer, where you can comfortably hang out, where there's no music blasting like a loud bar, where the options on tap have been carefully curated from local breweries to hit a variety of styles, where dogs and kids are welcome but also not overly present to disrupt the environment. Austin, the owner, is there all the time and is an advanced cicerone, so you know he knows his stuff. read more

Great place to sample beers. I'm certainly promiscuous for beers, among other things. Beermiscuous has a ton of selections from local breweries to choose from. Many that haven't gotten their due, and these can be gotten here. The prices are about what they are at a craft brewery, so it's not like it's cheap, but it has much better quality. Because it's in the middle of a hipster area, it's expected that there's a hipster selection to get. It has a few on tap, and many more in bottles and cans, many of which are local. There were a few I never heard of. Good prices for these kinds of beers. It's about $7 a pint. There's a few ones that are more expensive because those are stronger. I had the Seipp's Bavarian Hefweizen. This has slight banana notes with cloves, and it was pretty refreshing and smooth. For sure beers are the main things to get here. It also has chips if you need something to munch on. There's many other restaurants around here to get whatever. read more

Came here for a quick beer as we were in the area. Cool place of Lincoln Ave. The bartender was really patience as it took me a while to select one beer. I went with Catherina Sour Ale. Decent beer. Almost had a mango lassi taste to it and then the sour hits you. They offer beers on tap and have a great selection of cans from many other breweries. read more

They had a great selection of beers from all over and really great prices! Seems like a fun place to try out new cans and drafts with friends. read more

I was impressed by the beer and really turned off by the unfriendly bartender. In my experience, most craft beer establishments have bartenders who are engaging, this guy was more interested in getting to know the girl at the end of the bar. It also did not help that they have a mask requirement for standing. I had to put on my mask to walk 8 feet to sit down in July of 2022. As was explained to me later by the manager, they have some one on staff who is immune compromised so I respect the requirement. Still, there are better places in my opinion to drink beer in Chicago and I will try one of them next time I'm in town. Beermiscuous was recommended to me by a patron I met at another beer establishment. I had high expectations because on top of having great craft beer, this establishment has also published a book with a beer guide and tour of Chicago based on rail lines. Wish my experience was half as good as the guys recommendation. Unfortunately for me it wasn't. Beermiscuous for me was more beermeh meh meh. read more

cool casual spot for a beer. About 20 on draft and you can take one out of the cooler and they'll pour it in a glass for you. Staff was very friendly and welcoming read more

My love and I met up with a couple of peeps at Beermiscuous recently. Located on Lincoln near Diversey, this is a beer emporium where you can enjoy soooooo many kinds of craft beers. As things are starting to open up again, there is now limited indoor seating available along with a smidge of outdoor seating on the sidewalk of Lincoln Avenue. The four of us felt perfectly comfortable seated at an indoor table in the corner. You can order food and bring it in to eat along with your beers (we had a Pat's Pizza from down the street). It's fun to look at the "Chicagoland Map of Breweries" and the beer stickers on the walls. Beermiscuous serves a rotation of beers on tap, and supposedly everything on draft is available as a 4-ounce pour so you can create your own beer flight. One of the servers seemed reluctant to do a flight though (more work to do I guess), so my love and I only ordered one flight and then asked for larger pours after that. We also bought several cans of local beers to go from the eyepopping selections available in the coolers. read more

Didn't get food there idt they have any. Got a beer to go and they take $4 off everything when you take things to go! Had a huge, unique selection and the worker was very knowledgeable. Ambiance was casual and roomy. Had lots of space and i see people working there all the time. read more

I came here for a group gathering, and it was reasonably priced for us to meet up and have a private section in the basement. The beer selection is good and reasonably priced. I would say it would be even better if they had a little more snack options. read more

My brother and I like checking out different bars after work from time to time and like trying places where we can try different beers. I'm a big fan of The Beer Temple and places like Beer on the wall, so I'm always looking for bars like those. Beermiscuous is different and at first I was a little hesitant after sitting down because their draft list has brews I've had in other places. After my first beer, I found out that you can also purchase beer and other drinks out of their self serve coolers which they'll pour for you to enjoy. I love that you can converse here and it's not loud. Great service, selections and they have board games you can play as well. A spot I'll be sure to come to again when in the area. read more

Beermiscuous is my favorite beer bar the Chicago. It's like if a neighborhood cafe sold all beer and no coffee. It's a vibe. They have an expansive selection, and the staff is very knowledgeable if you want help picking out a beer. They have a draft menu as well. I love that you can get a discount if you buy beer-to-go. They are BYOF, so I love grabbing a bite from a nearby restaurant, but they also sell some snacks. They are dog-friendly, but there aren't a lot of good spots to tie a leash in order to drink hands-free. Great spot to work or read a book! read more

This was a great little spot to stop and have a drink and take some beers to go! They have a great single can selection and prices were very reasonable. I did feel a little like I was stepping back to last year when we were asked to put on masks. I thought that was a little strange but we obliged and still had a great time overall. Definitely a spot I will make sure to come back to next time I'm in town! read more

AN ABSOLUTE GEM of a spot. It's cozy, casual, and cool. I came in on a weekday night for the first time to meet a friend. We're both fans of craft beers, so we decided to try this place out. They ask for proof of vaccination upon entry as well. When you come in, there's a tablet that you can order food in and fridges full of beers to the left. On your right will be their menu of beers on draft. You can either grab a beer from their fridge or select one from their menu! I'm a pale ale gal, so I tried the alley time! I also tried their kolsch called yard work. Both were so good!! My friend is more into tarty/sours, so he tried autumn kings. We were both so pleased with what we had! I love the atmosphere as well. There's a variety of seating--little nooks with high chairs that you can enjoy a book in (which I did, while I was waiting for my friend!) or you can sit by the bar! I'm so thankful a beer cafe like this exists nearby! I'll definitely be back again! read more

If want to find out about the craft beer scene in Chicago this is the place to go. They have a giant selection of craft beers from a lot of the local brewers in the area. They have an incredible selections of local bottled & canned beers (with discounts if you purchase them to go) & a rotating tap of locals beers. There's lots of room/seating on the main level & I believe an additional venue area downstairs. Like most tasting rooms they have lots of games & beer reading material to pass the time. With the big variety of local beers to choose from you can definitely find out about local breweries in the area to check out. If you aren't sure what brewery in Chicago you want to visit or you don't have enough time to check out each play individually then this is your best bet as a first option, they got a bit of everything from almost everywhere in the area. read more

Definitely one of the best beer shops in Chicago. Very friendly and patient bartenders, fun events, and a great selection of non-alcoholic beverages as well. The casual and laid-back vibe really sets it apart from some of the other bars in the area. This place is something special! read more

My partner and I are big fans of Beermiscuous. We had been a few times before COVID/quarantine and it was always packed with people and hard to find a table. The last time we visited, the inside was for takeout orders or for enjoying on their socially distanced patio tables on the sidewalk. Their cash register had a plexiglass shield and they had plenty of hand sanitizer and cleaned tables and chairs well between groups. You get a solid discount if you get your beers to-go, but the prices are also extremely fair for beer enjoyed at the shop, as well. The variety of beer types and brands (local and otherwise) is always impressive. We love judging beers by their covers and picking out what we try based on the can's artwork, but have also discovered some delicious beers in plainer cans, too. This would be a great place to go to build a six-pack as a gift for friends or family members. read more

Interesting little spot - kind of like a beer library. They have about 10 giant refrigerators with cans you can buy and I think about 12 beers on draft. I was a little underwhelmed with the draft section but overall beers we tried were good. It's not particularly affordable for the vibe (super casual with only a few tables), but if you are looking to play some board games and try some new beer it will hit the spot. read more

COVID took away the taps, indoor seating and board games, so I can't wait to come back when the pandemic ends. So, we got some beers to go. I like that the fridges were organized alphabetically by breweries. The prices were to drink there, so keep in mind you subtract $4 if you're taking it to go. It was really hard to keep appropriately socially distanced since they let in quite a large group of people while there were already five of us in there. So we would have appreciated if they were more able to regulate the amount of people coming into the small space if they truly want to keep by COVID guidelines. read more

Such a fun experience! So many great beers on tap and a huge selection in the cooler. Our bartender was super nice and, even though it was crazy busy, they were friendly and checked on us often. Can't wait to come back next time we are in the area. I nice chill place to hang out. read more

WOW , stumbled upon this place when looking for a bar with board games - they had a pretty great selection of games . The concept is even cooler - they have beer on draft from local breweries and then a ton of cans that you can pour into a glass ! The space is pretty big and plenty of seating , and it's not terribly loud which makes it easy to talk and enjoy the experience . The retail area is dog friendly and it's bring your own food - which you can order from grub hub. Super chill space - I'll definitely be back !! read more

A cool concept but I wasn't in love with this place. They have a decent amount of beer on tap and then an insane amount of beers in cans. I would say an overwhelming amount of beers. The bar tender was knowledgeable and could recommend a beer that you were looking for. However I just thought it was ok. read more

This is honestly one of my favorite places in town. I go to catch up with friends, on my own to finish work, and other occasions such as tasting nights. At this point I don't know how I'd fill my weekly schedule of visiting here if they were ever to leave! Quick overview - beer fridges where you can buy INDIVIDUAL cans/bottles either to go or have right in house. Where else can you get just 1 single beer?? (And I'm not talking the crap selection at make your own 6 packs grocery stores). They have the best selection you can find of exclusive releases and small time microbreweries. But then you can also get tap pours too! Flights or large pours. It's so flexible. I'll come grab a can, a 5oz draft, and take another can to go. It's a great way to try new brews in small doses. The employees rock. Everyone is willing to hang, helps out with questions, and grabs tasters if you remotely even ask. Lastly, it's bring your own food. Making this even easier to come hang out early or late. I love it here and if I could find an excuse to go every day I would. read more

Beermiscuous is a cosy bar with a wide variety of beers available for consumption. As you enter the place, both walls to the sides have refrigerators filled to the brim with cans and bottles, sorted alphabetically. You can either pick your poison and drink it there (after which the friendly staff will pour your choice in the right glass for you), or (at a $4 discount) you can take anything to go. When sitting down, there are plenty of board games you can play with your company - or start a conversation about the immense number of breweries that Chicago has to offer (see picture). read more

A friend and I both had Beermiscuous on our Chicago Bucket Lists, so we stopped in after getting some ink down the street. It was a quiet Friday afternoon with only a handful of patrons sharing the space. There is a coffee-shop-like vibe here, a chill spot that you can come to get some work done and take advantage of a WiFi connection. The draught list was posted on the wall and, once the bartender noticed I was specifically looking at the sours, I was given gentle direction towards a flight and given some suggestions as to what to add to the flight. My friend isn't a big beer drinker so the bartender pointed her towards the ciders. I wish I could remember the bartender's name but I forgot to write it down! He was very friendly and sweet. There were hundreds of varieties of bottles available and, with more available time, I would have gotten a better chance to review and/or taste them. This place was a favorite and I wish we had something like it back home. read more

We were in town for a few days, from Toronto, to see Hamilton with our good friends. We love the craft beer scene and this was a great find. It is a quant little shop, the choices available will make anyone happy. The fact that they had board games available to play topped off our experience as there were games we had not played since we were kids. If you are in the area or just in Chicago, google this place and stop in. Whoever is serving will be the most helpful. When I personally go out to craft beer places I love to try the local beers and they had a huge selection. We purchased a good selection for the rest of our stay in Chicago. Great drafts, or select a bottle or can from the cooler. I know the next time I am in Chicago I will be stopping in again. read more

Love~ Love~ Love~! It doesn't hurt that I'm a huge beer lover and advocate but yea, I loved this place. A fella asked me on a date to this place. The date was a dud but dayum did I delight in dis discovery! (Alliteration try & fail). So thanks random dude for leading me to this amazingness. I am very into samplers & beer flights so that I can try as many beers as possible at new places. Discovering new brews is kind of my thing. I was so pleased you could make a flight of anything on the Beermiscuous draft list. The night I went, they had about 13 on tap and I had only tried 2 in the past which left me an abundance to try out. Plus, there was a sour on the list! Sours are few & far between so I was quite pleased with that offering. I did find one beer I feel in love with that evening - Shocked Apricot Belgian Pale by Moody Tongue. Yummers! I liked that Beermiscuous was a very chill, not overly crowded atmosphere with a variety of seating from comfy chairs & couches to long tables for bigger groups. Coffee shop environment with people 'working' but much better because...uh....beer. Aside from what just I liked here...they do of course offer pints of beer, have a ton of fun events (check their calendar/sign up for their mailing list) and the front is a bottle shop. Yep that's right, you can buy some good bombers to go so the fun doesn't have to stop here at the end of the night. I pretty much want to go back here with everyone I know. read more

Super cool beer spot with probably the widest selection of local beers I'd ever seen. Super friendly staff, always a drink for everyone on tap (but the bottle selection is freaking incredible). Wish I had gotten more time to hang out here but can't wait to come back! read more

We stumbled upon the place while traveling. They have the beer selection and great service. Highly recommended for craft beer fans.

This past weekend, we checked out Beermiscuous. I've never been to a Beer Cafe before. I gotta say, I liked it! You can casually drink there and just lounge around cafe style without the loud drinking background noise. We came in the middle of the day so it was pretty chill and calm. The place is spacious with a cellar downstair for private events. Customer service was attentive and inviting. There is also complimentary pretzels and water. In addition, a private lot which is a nice perk if you plan on driving. I enjoyed the industrial modern decor and the white tile details. They also have a map of all the breweries in the Chicagoland area; we've only checked out 12, so many more to explore. The light fixtures were also innovated. The place is very inviting and cozy. You can place board games or card games. It is also a Bring Your Own Food type of place. They also have a lot of craft beer that you can mix and match into a six packs. read more

I love this place. Incredible selection of beers for to-go and on-premise consumption. With so many beers to try these days, it's always a blast to create my own mixed six-pack.

Came here with a friend on a Friday night and we had a blast. It was chill and super cute. A great place to have a beer a good conversation. They have a great beer selection. The prices were very reasonable. We ordered a flight each so we can try different beers. They do not serve food, but they do have little snacks like chips you can buy. They also allow you to bring food or have food deliver there which I think is a great! I plan to stop by again soon for a beer. come check it out! read more

Small place, with limited seating. Go for the variety of choices! One bummer, they didn't have a single cider on tap. But I did get the sour they had on tap and it was pretty good. And there were lots of ciders to choose from in the coolers. I just prefer to get drafts whenever there's a good choice. Wouldn't mind gettin' back here! read more

Beermiscuous - A Sour... - Beer Bar Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Amazing place that has special, customer-focused services that I don't see anywhere else in the city. First, although other places let you buy singles instead of 4-packs, Beermiscuous actually has a reward program that you can earn free beer and Beermiscuous swag For someone that doesn't have a car, they also offer $7 delivery - amazing! I truly feel like I'm living in the future having Hop Butcher and Phase Three dropped off at my door each Thursday night. The staff and owners are super knowledgeable and really nice! It's the only place in the city that I'm aware of that you can order singles online and they'll hold them for you until you can pick them up. Their app is extremely well made and is updated daily with new beers as they arrive. They also get amazing drops from New York breweries like Other Half and Equilibrium! I can't wait until COVID clears up a bit more so I can hang there for a drink and have some of the drafts they have on tap. read more

I recently moved nearby and I have been wanting to check this out. After stopping by, I can say I really like the concept of this place. They have draft beers and also tons of choices in bottles/cans. You can also mix and match 6 packs and take them to go (cheaper that way). I came here on a Monday night so there were only a few people hanging at the bar. The bartender gave us recommendations based on what I told him I liked, and he was very friendly as we chatted for a bit. As other reviews have mentioned, the atmosphere here is more like a coffee shop, where you can bring your laptop and hang out or play board games. They also have 1 tv, which was nice on Monday because we wanted to watch the football game. As I anticipate going back, I downloaded their app and scanned my receipt to get points. I haven't really looked too far into it, so I'm not sure how the points system really works. Overall, it's a cool concept and somewhere I'll be revisiting. read more

Beermiscuous is truly a Chicago gem. It's a small, cozy place with an amazing and rotating beer selection that has regulars always coming back for more. When you walk in, there are fridges lining both of the walls filled with beer for purchase. Buy one or create a 6 pack to take home with you, but I guarantee there will be names and brands of beer that you have never heard of before. If you venture further back into the store, there is a draft list and plenty of seating for those who want to grab a beer and hangout for awhile. The draft list is ever-changing, and the guys working will talk you through the selections to find the best beers for your taste buds. There are many board games to choose from, or you can just sit back and relax to enjoy great beer. Beermiscuous does hold regular game nights, which many people love. However, if you go on these nights but don't intend to play games, it can get a little loud and difficult to have a conversation. Just be aware of when these nights are happening and avoid staying there for a drink if you are looking for a quieter place to hangout (but don't leave without a 6-pack!) read more
