Great activity to do while in Chicago…read more They provide a short tour and share fun facts and history of their spirit. The tour includes two tasting. Once done you can enjoy more drinks from the bar. You can get a tasting of 4 for $14 which is a good deal. But I think recommended pairing should be shared l. I opted for a cocktail. But all of my friends who ordered a flight complained they were too strong and not enjoyable

Didn't realize Chicago had a Brandy distillery until 2 to 3 weeks ago. After the tour got the Rhine Hall old fashioned plus a mule with Apple, Pear Brandy, ginger beer, cucumber,lime. Before leaving one of the friendly customers bought everyone shots. It was all very fun. Think they're only open Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

My posse of friendly drinking couples have had Belmont Tavern on the radar for awhile, as it opened…read morea few months ago in a 135-year-old building after the space has been empty for almost 25 years. Well, it was worth the wait. The comfortable interior is retro cool, and they also have an affinity for rabbits displayed on menus and throughout the spaces. We had a very enjoyable visit here, thanks to the good drinks, pleasant staff, and great company. We recently stopped in for a midweek happy hour, when you can get one of three listed cocktails for only $8 each. My Casual Affair sorta reminded me of an Old Fashioned, while my lovely wife enjoyed the Often Confused cocktail. Belmont Tavern is very close to the CTA Belmont Blue Line station, on Belmont just west of Kimball. We vow to return in the near future.

Very cute set up with wide open space beer, garden style, plus a cozy or nook in the corner…read more There's a fairly good selection of housemade beers. All of the seltzers are on the dry side, but they had a few cocktails, from a can, though, that were all delicious. Fun euchre tournament once a month and they are dog friendly. There were lots of different kinds of dogs around the bar. Service was good Really great place. They did not have any food on site the night I was there, I was told they often have a pop-up at the bar.

Solem Oath has been on my list for breweries to try for I don't know how long. An opportunity…read morefinally arose however when I managed to get a hold of one of their beers that was a collaboration beer done with Wander Brewing. I almost always immensely enjoy collaborative beers and the one I had in this instance was no exception. The beer I had was the Nightmare Cyclist, a Schwarzbier which I was highly impressed with. I got a nice beer mug of this delightful dark beer and enjoyed all of it's flavor qualities like a roastiness, maltiness and a slightly burnt taste but not a characteristic to make it off putting at all. The beer also has a creaminess quality to it as well. Such an excellent beer and starter for this brewery and I would love to try their other beer types to see if I am equally impressed as I was with Nightmare Cyclist!

Met up with a friend and thoroughly enjoyed the drinks and space. I was pleasantly surprised that…read moreDeep Red carries my favorite NA brand, NON. The barista was friendly and let me try a few new flavors in addition to recommending a pear cider that was absolutely jammy, pear forward, and lovely. Great space that allowed for intimate convo and the barista swung by our table a few times to top off our water and check in on us.

Great little spot to try and/or buy some nice wines. My only reasons for not giving it 5 stars are…read more1) It's a quaint place great for a date, except the music is too loud. With such a small number of tables we shouldn't have to be leaning across the table for casual conversation, and 2) The owner (I think he was the owner anyway), doesn't seem very pleasant or friendly. He's knowledgeable about his wines, and will discuss them with you whether buying glasses or bottles, but doesn't make you feel particularly warm or welcome at his establishment. Bring down the music just one notch, and be more friendly and outgoing, and this place would be awesome.

Hosted an event here on Saturday and it was incredible. The staff was beyond helpful, kind, and…read moreattentive. They were incredibly flexible and allowed us to create the event we wanted. All of our guests couldn't stop talking about the incredible vibes of the place. The layout of the roof allowed us to have different areas for our guests who wanted different things. The staff worked with us to bring in food and even an ice cream truck. They helped set up and take down and we're just the kindest most amazing people to help us that evening.

I came here for an event, as it is quite out of the way of where I live. THe Chicago Intl Film Fest…read morewas doing a fundraiser using movie trivia. It's a good venue for trivia, maybe for sports, as there are a couple of tvs at the bar. I did not go to the back room; there were booths and elevated tables with high chairs. Not terribly comfortable but it was still fun. Like Many bars, this was is a BYOF Bring your own FOOD. They have a few snacks but no meals. We brought in a sandwich from Potbelly's and some popcorn (of course, movies). The bartender was very nice about giving us paper plates and napkins. Our event included a drink ticket; I got an English brown ale, and the Handsome Henry, a slightly hoppy ale named after a late dog and with 50 cents of every sale going to PAWS. I liked but did not love both; one of the seasonal ones my party wanted was unavailable. It was a fun atmosphere with attentive bartenders. It's dog friendly, with water in a jug and doggie treats. The bathrooms were spacious, nicely decorated and clean, with fliers of upcoming events. One thing I did not love was playing Night of the Living Dead on mute while we did the movie trivia! It was probably not the managers' idea, but it still made for a not great choice, much as I like horror movies. I'd go back for a flight and bring some (relatively) healthy food.

There was also no help to keep the darts area clear; we had to stop our game mid way through because others were getting in the way even after us asking multiple times to leave some space. The more the merrier, but a bit of help to keep the customers already there that are trying to get a second drink and keep their darts game going would have been appreciated! We closed out and left before we wanted to. Would have loved to stay and enjoy the good vibes!

The room is wide and not very deep, so sidelines can be a little challenging. I believe that years ago they had food, but is now primarily bar and music.

None of those breathless rants apply to…read moreRevolution because I love this place and always have - even waayyyy back over a decade ago when they actually had a restaurant/brewpub. The beer is so good on its own it doesn't need food to carry it. Note: you CAN bring food in - and we did on both visits. This location is special to me because we had my brother's baby shower here 13 months ago - and his baby's first birthday celebration there this weekend! Kind of amazing really :) The space is airy with nooks to make a cozier vibe. The bar itself is great and selection is top notch. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and can easily match what you "typically" drink outside the brewery to what they have on draft. The workers cleaning tables and setting up were friendly and helpful as well. Beer highlights: The Fistmas was an excellent festive beer My family members got the porter and it was delicious as well. Other things of note: - solid amount of free street parking -kid friendly -solid wood chairs -TVs to watch sports events We love it here in all seasons - it's perfect for day drinking or actual booked events! Enjoy!
