    The banana and clove oriented Hefeweizen!
    Alden C.

    Dovetail Brewing was on my list for a long time. I was lucky when an opportunity arose to try their beers and Steve and I tried three different ones. They were all lighter beers and yes indeed I had a favorite out of the three. This time I will start with the favorite which was their Vienna Lager which I really was happy with. This is a beer type I like anyway and this brewery's version of that was very good! Flavor features with this beer are malty and sweet with a clean finish. The beer is smooth and light bodied. Other beers we liked were the Kolsch which was very good also. Flavors to find with this one are dry, grassy and crisp. The beer is refreshing and light bodied. The final beer was a Hefeweizen. It said it had the presence of banana and clove to it and sometimes those things are too heavy handed in our years of trying craft beer but this one was well balanced and though those features were certainly noticeable it was pleasant. The beer is also sweet and has a clean finish. The beer is also very smooth. Good start with this brewery and an experience we were impressed with!

    Onion dip and chips

    Walking in, the people are very friendly. It seems like everyone knows someone at the bar, so that was comforting to see. The staff seemed to be more about business. Place your order, is it ok, if something is wrong, they're going to try to get to the nitty-gritty of what the problem with the beer is. It's not that they're unfriendly, but you can tell that the staff cares a lot about their business. I ordered the Porter and Framboise. The Porter wasn't super heavy or too bold on flavor. The Framboise is tart, sour, almost kabocha tangy, but that's what made it addicting. I ordered the homemade chips with onion dip. 10/10 I knew I would be craving it when I left. It's really fresh and light, but with a lot of flavor! The interior is really warm and pleasant. It's feels inviting and like you should stay and relax a while.

    Classic German brewery at its best. Walking in, the atmosphere immediately reminds you of a German beer hall. Dovetail is one of the best brewers of lagers in the city. Their Vienna style lager won a medal at the Great American Beer Festival and the Hefeweizen is a favorite of mine. Great place!

    Finally checked out this brewery! We had a kolsch which was very light and refreshing. We loved the indoor outdoor situation and opted to seat outside since it was such a nice day out. We were able to order and get seated right away which was great, they have a ton of seating inside and out. They also had a pop up going while we were there so we were able to get some tacos and enjoy our beer. Definitely worth the visit and love the rows of breweries that you can hop around to as well.

    It was a wet & rainy day so decided to seek shelter in this fantastic tap room. Glad that I did as they not only had great beers (Pilsner and Pomme 2020 were my choices on this day) but also some friendly snacks. I had the soft pretzel with cheese and it was fantastic. A shout out to the bartender who was super knowledgeable, friendly and funny. Finally, it was nice to bring in my own entree as the Region is nearby and is one of my favorite burger spots in the city.

    Berliner Weisse!
    Erika G.

    One of my favorites for years. STILL a favorite. Find me in the tap room, beer garden or out in the parking lot! This brewery gets lively! Favorite beers: Vienna Lager, Helles, or Grodzieski (sp?) a 3.2% beer perfect when you roll up on a bike! Or a delicious Berliner Weisse. They've added snacks - landjager, big crusty pretzels, cheese dip and rotating snacks - all great!

    good patio vibes with a diverse beer selection

    Love the summer menu they've got going on right now and loving some of the mixed beer options - sours + lagers create a visually intricate and really unique flavor combination. Also so glad they are still a lager only brewery, it really allows them to create some great lager beers and love seeing that happen more and more like with Goldfinger in the burbs too. looking forward to coming back!

    Located in malt row in a cute little Ravenswood neighborhood (I wished I lived here!) It was quiet when we arrived, but did pick up thereafter. The service was accommodating and friendly. We opted for the mulled offering and given the fact it was February, it was THE perfect choice. There were other tempting local limited options available in their cooler for 10% off. Cheers!

    Another brewery. Dovetail is located near a few others. It's like breweries are on every block of Ravenswood. Good list for a small place and quality craft. The beers are more expensive but it's a small brewery still. Got a few pints with some guys and girls. It wasn't really a big crowd but the cramped inside made it feel like it. This is a total craft brewery, where they actually make it with care and passion. It doesn't have beer to get chugged. The best I had was the Helles. It's $9 a pint, so yes that's a craft. This has citrus and floral notes. Awesome and crisp. There's not really any food but there's bags of chips and pretzels. Come get away from the popular so called craft breweries. It's truly a neighborhood hangout but anyone's welcome if they appreciate the hard work of those making the good stuff. The prices are the worst thing but that's the price to pay for all that work.

    We sat outside with our pup. They have a huge patio area and accommodating to dogs. The beer was decent - one was a little more sour than we expected. The slushie was a tad small but tasted good. One of the workers brought our puppy a treat which was so sweet! Would definitely come back

    Kubano
    Bee B.

    Stopped in after going to another brewery down the street. Nice little spot. Wish I would have been able to try more of the food items, but some of it was out by the time I got there. I shared the Kubano, chips and the onion dip with friends. The Kubano is essentially air dried sausage. Something nice to munch on with your drink. Staff were nice and courteous. I ordered a radler, and my boyfriend and his friends ordered other varieties. Chill spot to hang out on the patio if the weather is nice. Dog-friendly, at least on the patio!

I had been wanting to try Industry Ales when it opened and was glad to have had the opportunity to finally check it out! I was slightly thrown off, as the dining tables are at the front of this space, and the bar is all the way at the back. In fact, my friend at first glance thought it was a sit-down dining establishment sans bar seating. We found our way to the bar and posted up at two seats. We were offered menus right away and found the bartender extremely knowledgeable. This was super helpful when facing down an encyclopedia of ales. He offered samples when we explained what we were looking for. That is service above and beyond, especially on a bustling Friday early evening. The brews were tasty, but I couldn't really discern what I was drinking apart to say it was a lighter Belgian Ale. Wine is more in my wheelhouse, but always good to change things up, especially when a person has the opportunity to be guided by an expert. The people seated nearby had ordered the tuna tartare which looked delicious. In fact, all of the menu is globally influenced (think: pizza samosas, pierogis, Korean BBQ) in addition to the classic brewpub favorites. In addition to the Brewpub, this location features the Millroom, a speakeasy-style lounge. I did not have a chance to check that out on this visit. Definitely a cut above the usual sports bar and a place to expand one's knowledge of brews.

It is surrounded by factories and buildings that look a little abandoned, so it feels a little sketchy pulling up. But once you walk inside, it is a completely different experience.

The staff was friendly and took the time to explain how everything works, which I appreciated. Now the food. So good. I have had a favorite taco spot for the past few months, but this place honestly raised the bar. They are known for their fried cheese tacos and they absolutely live up to the hype. The shrimp was delicious and the sauce reminded me of a seafood boil, rich and flavorful. The salsa verde was also great. I also had the fries topped with fried cheese, cilantro, and onions, and they were just as good. Everything smelled amazing and everyone at the table loved their food. One thing I really loved is their drink options. They have great cocktails, but also offer well crafted mocktails that feel just as intentional. On top of that, they have THC and CBD drinks, which really adds to the relaxed, laid back vibe. Overall, it is a great place to sit, hang out, and enjoy good food and drinks for as long as you want.

They had a lot of special events going on for the holiday, so as you might imagine, it was difficult to snag a table even before 5pm.

To drink, we honored the occasion with imported Guinness stouts, which were light-bodied with a great depth. Per recommendation, we started with the hummus appetizer, and all I have to say is: do not sleep on this! The hummus was super flavorful and well seasoned, served alongside the most delicious grilled za'atar naan. The fresh crudites provided a really nice contrast. Highly recommend! For mains, we ordered the Guinness beef stew and the bangers and mash. The latter was my favorite of the two- the sausages were extra crispy on the outside and very tender. The mashed potatoes were super creamy and the bacon-onion mustard gravy was delicious. My favorite part may have been the brown beer bread served alongside- this stuff is absolutely addictive. I thought the beef stew was also well done with very tender meat, but just wasn't as flavorful as the other entree. Throughout the meal, we were treated to traditional Irish music complete with a bagpipe troupe. We left full and in the holiday spirit- will 100% return and highly recommend making the trip over here!

On the other side, is a 1 Michelin Star dining experience. Moody Tongue is the first Michelin ranked brewery and even offers a beer pairing with their prefixed menu. The inside is moody with dark wood finishes, black accents, and elegant artwork & feature lighting. Upon entering, one checks in at the first floor host stand. A server brings you upstairs to the dining area. There is a mixture of two and four tops in the space and our table had a handwritten note congratulating us on our anniversary. Our seat allowed both of us to have a view of the kitchen window to watch the chefs prep courses. There were 3-4 servers that serviced the entire dining room and rotated in presenting dishes. They started with warm towelettes to wash your hands which was a nice touch. Service level throughout was impeccable with water refills, explaining the menu, delightful demeanor, fresh silverware per course, and wiping the table clean from anything that dropped. This was certainly one of the best hospitality levels at a one star I've experienced. Dinner was 12 courses including the amuse-bouche and final treats. There was not one course that didn't offer bright, fresh flavors. The presentation of plates were beautiful from every angle. It's hard to pick any top dish as everything was unique and special in their own way; but I am still thinking about the Crab Bite, Sablefish, and Pasta Course. After dinner, each guest got a complimentary bag full of goodies to enjoy at home. What a beautiful final touch! Moody Tongue as a whole far exceeded my expectations. Each dish offered something familiar in a new way that left me speechless. I highly recommend coming to fully experiencing everything they have to offer as you will not be disappointed!
