My wife had their American burger and that was excellent too! Perfectly cooked, tomato, lettuce, thick cut pickles, and cheese!

I ordered a flight so I could sample many. The samples were large. The food was excellent. Menu options extend beyond typical pub fare. We started with the fried pickle chips which were actual chips and not pickle spears like some places offer. I ordered the POKE BOWL WITH KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN. It was super delicious. You can't beat the outdoor seating with river view, unless it was hot like when we visited. We opted for indoor seating in the cooled environment. Staff was excellent.

Cool bar not far from some other bars. 8th Ward is one of the better bars in Rockford, as far as…read morethe atmosphere and what's on the menu. It seems the drinks are better than the food though. For sure that's not as bad thing of course. The prices are higher than at the nearby dive bars, but you get real good stuff. At lunch it can get crowded. It also gets crowded in the evening. This place seems to always be crowded, which is a good sign of quality. It's about $9 for the cheapest cocktails. The seasonal list included the Pumpkin Pie Mule. Lots of pumpkin flavor in it. This was made with ginger beer, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin syrup, and vanilla vodka. As for the food, nothing as special to be honest. It's about $14 for the Baked Bavarian Pretzel Sticks. That's a lot for not that much, and the prices are high on most other things. Great place except for the prices of course. It has better drinks than food. This is a fun hangout for lunch or for whenever.

I don't mean as ambient noise of people talking, but because the music was so loud I could barely think, let alone talk to the people with me. The bar is small and has the deep fryer and griddle right up front in the bar area. The poor bartender also doubled as the chef. There was no other wait staff or bartenders. She was the only bright spot of this bar. The service was great. There where quite a few people in there, including one guy that was making trouble. She handled them, us and was quick and responsive. She did get a little curt once, but I think it was because she was being bombarded with requests and questions. We only had one drink each before leaving. It was loud, the bathroom was kind of dirty and smelly and I just didn't like the cramped atmosphere.

I had all the options! We ordered the Death Grip IPA and Briéekraut Oktoberfest, which we both loved.

My meal was the loaded Mac n Cheezy Bowl - which was so incredible (especially when you don't need to worry about the amount of dairy in it!!). My husband got the Grilled Cheeze Steak Tacos and really enjoyed them! The taco is made with a mini quesadilla as the shell with a delicious filling. Our server was extremely friendly, welcoming, and ensured a great experience. The restaurant definitely feels like a classic brewery with fun decorations and exposed brewing equipment, which is always awesome to see. Added plus is they have free Tesla charging for customers! (Possibly other electric car charging, but I didn't check) We will definitely be back!

I definitely recommend haley's in our part that you call ahead the book of reservation because it does get busy and various parts of the day. Their menu was very comprehensive and it featured a great variety of specials, food, appetizers and alcohol. Staff here was very friendly though I will say that the food takes time to make so it's best to order some appetizers if it's very crowded. This brewery offers various events here like comedy nights and hosts other events usually in the other room. They had a hard cider I've never heard of before either and I thought it was really delicious. If you are not a drinker they got plenty of non-alcoholic options as well. The prices were pretty fair. Highly recommend!
