It has been some time since we have visited Global Brew Schaumburg so we were way overdue. We visited early on St. Patty's Day and enjoyed a few samples before commiting to a pint. I love that there are always a few great ciders on tap or in cans too. Hubby tried the Chimay and also a Phase Three (P3) Amber. P3 always has some great IPAs or a Stout to try, but I really like the smoothies too. It is fun to sit at the bar and look at the many cans, bottles and drink options. Happy hour tater tots with beer cheese are a perfect shareable bite. We left before the night got too packed for Shenanigans and trivia. Always terrific and friendly service here. We love the pet friendly patio when it is warm outside, minus the cigarette buttes on the ground out back.

Chicago Grilled Cheese and Kansas City Grilled Cheese!

Great service, HUGE selection of beer, and the food is surprisingly good!l - and they recently added on to the menu!

Bavarian Pretzel

Came out to Global Brew Tap House on a Friday Evening to enjoy the nice weather over a bite and a beer. The inside has a huge bar and quite a bit of table seating as well as chalkboard displays of their food menu and on tap beer selections. We opted to sit on their back outdoor patio. We were unsure to start if we needed to order at the bar or if someone would coke around. Thankfully, the thought was short lived as Mike, also the bartender, came over to ask what we wanted. He had great recommendations, let me sample (2) ciders on draft before selecting, and even remembered us from a brief visit we had made about 1.5 months ago! Talk about hospitality and kindness! I ended up ordering the Naked Pear cider and my partner ordered (2) options from Spencer Brewing and Rhinegeist Brewery. The menu has a couple of items that are Indian Inspired (tikka masala chicken wings, new delhi grilled cheese, and mumbai flatbread). We got the bavarian pretzel and new delhi grilled cheese which were both tasty! The food is a bit pricey for portions but one can definitely tell it is all freshly made. I'd recommend checking out Global Brew and we will certainly be back to try out a happy hour!

Summer Crush from Penrose Brewing Company
Mister D.

Great find in Schaumburg area. Located in a strip mall of Golf Road. We started off with Inhazion IPA (not pictured). Decent beer. After finishing this we then ordered a round of Summer Crush. This is an excellent beer. To go along with our beers we shared a Mumbai Flatbread. Glad we did as the spices hit well with our Summer Crush IPA! Each bite of the Mumbai flatbread hits you with spices and some sweetness. It was evenly balanced. Glad it was recommended! Service was wonderful. They took their time to offer beer selection after discussing what we were interested in. Glad the gentleman mentioned to pair our beer selection with Mumbai Flatbread. Will be back here again next time we are in the area.

Table Tots
Edward M.

Super friendly staff and owner with some great food. Short Rib Grilled - very tender short rib w/ bacon jam (it basically tastes like it sounds). Some nice gooey cheese with perfectly toasted bread (though one side gets soggy from sitting on the tray it's served on). Table Tots - a half sheet trade with a row (lengthwise) of dipping sauces and tots filling the rest. The tots are perfectly crispy and unseasoned so it can mesh with the sauces properly. These are the choices as I understand it: Bang bang - like a chipotle mayo mildly spicy and creamy - one of my faves Ranch - boring Korean pepper - like gauchochong - quite good slightly spicy - one of my faves Mango habanero w a sweetness - like sweet thai chili but w/ habanero so much spicier we added beer cheese for extra charge - this was great, it would also have been perfect for a pretzel - the best flavor of them all Garlic aioli - garlic and mayo, how can you go wrong, also one of my faves

if u like beer u can go here and drink it without ever feeling like an alcoholic. 7.4/10

Bang bang tots with watermelon beer
Shunda B.

Yes please... again and again. I honestly enjoyed myself - they had so many drinks on available. I was little jealous this isn't in Michigan - they also offer a membership basically once you drink 50 different drinks (beers), then you'll get a free t-shirt. #goals And baby let me tell you.... YOU NEED TO TRY THE BANG BANG TOTS. It's new so not sure how long it's going to be on the menu but i'm a fan of those. The cook was nice too - let me sample some tots he just made for himself. Lol! Of course I didn't say no and I glad I didn't. Happy Eating!!!

Plenty of craft beers in a can to pick from.
Debbie G.

Great craft beer selection at reasonable prices. The bartender Francisco is very friendly and knowledgeable. Based on what I like, he picked out a good beer for me. You can get a little sample before getting a glass on tap. The place has a nice vibe to it. The meat and cheese board is one of the best I have ever had. Quality and unique cheeses and meats with fresh fruit, honey, tasty fruit spread, assortment of crackers and candied pecans. So worth the cost. The tandoori chicken sandwich had the right amount of chicken, cheese, veggies and sauce on perfectly toasted French bread. Very good. I should have ordered the tater tots but too full. Next time because I'll be going back for sure!

Awful. Paid 11 dollars for a CAN OF WINE. Horrid bartender. Had to yell, just to close out our bill and RUN. Never going back.

I have been coming to Kumas since they opened. I moved out of state and still make a point to visit…read moreevery time I am back in town. Love the unique recipes and higher end ingredients. Always fun to visit with my friends.

Was out with Wife doing errands, she mentioned a penchant for a burger. I took a quick reconnoiter…read moreon Yelp and saw Kuma's here. If you read my Yelp on the original location, you'll learn I was quite impressed with the unique qualities of the bread and circuses therein. THIS store, however, is not a funky old Chitown corner tavern, repurposed into a brilliant resto as the original is. It has the appearance and feel of a corporate outpost with NONE of the intrinsic vibe and atmosphere of the paternal iteration. It's a big room, with an enclosed "patio" with even less charm. One of the great things about the original is the non-exclusive yet cordial service, hinting at rough trade, yet somehow I believe this is a manufactured behavior, for fun. Kind of like if Ed Debevic was a hardcore outlaw biker. (IYKYK). The servers here were kind of cheerless, and aloof. I ordered an Old Fashioned, and it was yum. A Caesar was next, and that too, was pretty tasty. So I started to think, "Ok this isn't the original Kuma's, but the Schaumburg audience is going to be a bit different than the Northside Hipsters". When you're aware of circumstances, attitudes change. Wife played it safe, eschewing all the ooga-booga burgers of the menu and just going for a regular burger, ketchup, mayo, tomato, onions, no cheese please. Cooked medium. I, however, remembered seeing someone on TeeVee having a "Plague Bringer" supposedly redolent of Garlic and fiercely chilli'ed. Right up my alley! I bid the Waitron to bring it with all speed. The burgers appeared shortly. Wife noticed the tomato on her plate had an unsavory black & grey area in its innards. obviously rotten. How the expediter ever let that get out of the Kitchen, I dont know. It was sent back an returned with an excuse it was a bit of olive that got mixed up with the tomato. I immediately checked the menu to see if they OFFERED anything, anywhere with black olives, and there wasn't anything there. I asked the same of the Waitron, and got the same answer. As wife didn't put the tomato on her burger, it was shuffled to the side. Wife said the burger was nothing special, And neither was my "PlagueBringer". Most of it was buried in Tortilla Strips. Not appetizing at all. The expected Garlic onslaught was nowhere to be found, neither was the anticipated chilli pepper sting. All I could taste were the french fried onions (the same ones you find on greenie beanie casseroles during your Grandmother's Thanksgiving dinner) heaped under the top pretzel bun hood. A segregated bite found the burger patties un-seasoned and not terribly tasty (both mine and Wife's burger). What a bummer. They gave a very small discount on the burger as an apology for the offending tomato slice. We don't go into restos with a defensive attitude. We HATE sending things back, and will only take a discount or comp if the kitchen or service ABSOLUTELY shit the bed. Wife had the queasies for the rest of the day thinking other vegetations on her burger (or the burger itself) had evidence of mishandling. Fortunately, there was no food sickness. Yes, there was heavy metal music playing very loudly throughout our visit, making conversation difficult, but I knew that would prolly be the case on the way in. The whole thing was disappointing. I was hot-to-trot about the original store and how they seemed they were taking a stand against any restaurant taking itself too seriously. It wouldn't surprise me to learn the folks who financed this outpost mandated some marketing fuck to whitewash the "Heavy Metal" concept, as seen in countless corporate restos based on a charming, small joint, and having none of its original DNA. Doug Sohn was so right to never franchise "Hot Doug's", lest the accountants make a pudding of his concept and vibe as they obviously did here with Kuma's I should have known when I walked in the front door and did not see a placard with the "house rules" nearby. It's a one star. The Old Fashioned and Salad weren't THAT good.

We cannot say enough positive things about our event at Westwood Tavern. We had a baby…read morebrunch/shower in October 2026. The room was set up beautifully and the linen color choice/option added a personal touch. The buffet brunch was delicious and the guests had positive comments on the variety that was offered. I also posted photos on social media of the event and received compliments on the room, linens and set up. The sales and banquet staff were top tier. They were excellent and attentive to all of our needs. On the day of the event, the staff was efficient and professional. We were allowed to bring personalized desserts for the event (limitations are indicated on the contract) and the price point for the event was about the going rate like other venues. But, the room was beautifully set up and the staff was wonderful. We had a spectacular event!

The bartender seemed a bit distracted and took a while to take our order which was frustrating, however she made up for it by continuing to check on us throughout our meal. We got the nachos, steak and eggs, and a thai salad with the cornbread being the standout. The sushi rolls looked very good so i'll have to try that out next time!

We were just here again on 7-5-26. The brunch buffet here is still our go to for a meal like that,…read more The new layout seems to work better for traffic flow. The cook at the omelette and carving station is top notch--he's very pleasant and efficient. My omelette which was chock full of fresh ingredients was cooked to perfection. The Prime Rib was a perfect rare and seasoned well. Their signature Parmesan Reggiano hash browns are a must have. The breakfast bread choices are fresh and very tasty. I'm not a big fan of cocktail sauce with shrimp, I make an exception for theirs. It is obviously homemade and has just the right amount of kick to it. The staff is courteous and efficient. The (female) manager was constantly on the go keeping an eye on the entire operation. The entire premises is immaculate, the bathrooms are very clean and fresh smelling. A friend took me to a buffet at one of their big name competitors--that place was way overpriced and the food wasn't as good.

The server informed me that they were out of more than 70% of the beer listed on the beer menu. If that wasn't bad enough, it took our server about 15 minutes to bring the flight.
