We went to the Kaiser Tiger before a Blackhawks game & had a great experience. The food was exceptional & our server was so nice and also exceptional ! I got the turkey Rueben with soup & my husband got the Italian roast beef with fries. Both were very good . The beer selection was great but we chose an 'Irish wristwatch ' - Guinness with a shot of whiskey for only $9! They also provided free shuttle service to the United center! We will be back! Sidenote: they have an official curling area! read more

Staff was friendly and the food was good, but the overall experience was a mess. Came early for the shuttle and was told no reservation was needed, yet couldn't get a table. The place was clearly oversold with the Final Four and a United Center event going on. They were already out of multiple drinks, apps, and entrees. Ended up with an unclean barrel as a "table," no outdoor seating set up, and overcrowded shuttles. Even getting food to go was a hassle--I ate in my car and walked to the show. Had high hopes, but was really let down. I'd recommend Hawkeye/Corba Lounge instead. read more

We went to Kaiser Tiger at 1pm on a Saturday, expecting a relaxed, family-friendly experience, especially since the place was mostly empty. Unfortunately, that was not the case at all. For a restaurant that markets itself as family-friendly, you would expect the manager to at least like kids. Instead, we were approached multiple times in an aggressive tone and essentially scolded for letting our children play in the game area with other kids. It made the entire experience uncomfortable and honestly awkward for everyone involved. If children aren't actually welcome, that should be made clear. Otherwise, the way this was handled felt completely out of line and really took away from what should have been an enjoyable afternoon. read more

The food here was fantastic. We had the bacon board, I ordered the chicken sandwich, and my husband got a sandwich as well. The bread alone was fantastic but the meat was just cooked perfectly so it was still flavorful and not dry at all. Also the free shuttle to United center is such a cool offering! read more

Stopped by to catch some NCAA games and enjoy some food, both were great! I tried the Kaiser burger and it came with fries. This spot has grown to be one of my favorites, and in the summer the patio is a cool spot to gather for drinks and some games as well. Not to mention the staff is great. Definitely a must try if you are in the area! read more

Kaiser Tiger - kaiser smash burger - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We went here before a concert at the United Center. They have a complimentary shuttle to the center which was extremely convenient. We didn't make a reservation because we came from 3+ hours away and weren't sure with traffic when we would arrive. They thankfully had a spot open in their uncovered beer garden. Not to their fault, but it was very chilly out (we could see our breath). I asked a server to turn the heater that was right next to us on. He stated they were out of propane. I ordered the Kaiser smash burger. I like smash burgers because I'm very picky with how my burgers are cooked and if they're cooked all the way through. I also ordered it was no lettuce, tomato, and onions. Our food arrived in less than ten minutes. The smash burger was not smashed and was just two normal patties with lettuce, tomato, and onion on it. I bit into it and it was very pink on the inside and I was not able to eat the rest. We also had ordered Mac and cheese bites. Those were a 10/10! The staff was extremely friendly. They have a cat named Bacon which I thought was awesome. read more

Staff is insufferable and entitled and the food and drinks don't make up for it. West Loop has approx 1000 other options that are superior. Don't waste your time or money read more

Best thing about this place is that they have a shuttle to the united center. I didn't love the food, the drinks were odd. But the service was decent. We asked for a to go box and it never came, which wasn't the end of the world. It was very loud, def a sports bar but they do allow children. I got a turkey sandwich and French fries, not great, not too bad. My partner got veggie chili and a mushroom sandwich, he liked it. And it smelled good. They also have a large pretzel which was stale. read more

I stopped in here after touring a wedding venue. We were a larger group, which meant that we did take up a lot of space, but we also came in knowing what we wanted. Throughout the whole meal, we were FREEZING! This place has a ton of windows, which is great, but it also meant that it was so cold in the restaurant. We ordered a few dishes to share and also got a round of drinks. The service was slow and at points we were getting wondering if our server had left. read more

We saw that this place has bacon, sausage, and cheese and we decided that was the place for us. We went a few hours before a Lady Gaga show at the United Center and saw that they do free shuttle service to the United Center for concerts and Blackhawks and Bulls games. The shuttle service started at 6 p.m. and we weren't there long enough, but what a service for an establishment with craft beers to have. Even if you don't need the service it's very walkable to the United Center, btw. We started out on the back patio. Great atmosphere and very cozy. We did end up going inside to the bar due to mosquitoes always thinking I'm delicious. I got the Beer & Bacon sausage which was absolutely delicious. Huge chunks of bacon, house made beer mustard, and crisp red onions topping the sausage. I'm not usually a mustard fan but the beer cheese mustard was delicious and I love beer cheese. Definitely hid the mustard flavor, or at least neutralized it. The crispy red onions added the perfect amount of crunch, making each bite satisfying. My husband got the crispy mac and cheese bites, which comes with chili and beer cheese. The chili sort of reminded me of Cincinnati-style chili, which I'm not a fan of (sorry!) but the cheese bites with that delicious beer cheese really hit the spot. The bites were the perfect crisp level. We got the Kaiser Tiger/Dovetail Hefewizen which was easy to drink and amazing on a warm day after walking around. I then switched to the Kaiser Tiger/Dovetail Pils which was perfectly smooth and dry, again perfect on a toasty day. Now for my favorite part of the experience: DAN! When we arrived hardly anyone was there (they'd just opened and it was a Wednesday afternoon) and Dan was the bartender/server. He was so nice and answered my questions about the patio cat aptly named Bacon (cute!). When we went to the bar he was so nice and personable. We told him we were from the Nashville area and we talked about the cesspool that is Broadway, hockey, indie movie theaters in Tennessee and Chicago, and movies (he has great taste). He was so cool and it really heightened our experience at this already cool place. Definitely check Kaiser Tiger out and if Dan is there and has time, have a chat with him. read more

READ THIS IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN ! Beers are ok, prices are decent ,food is fine, the waiters are lovely. We've been here before but we made the mistake to bring our 18mo this time around. As parents of a baby who recently started walked and very excited about it we usually try to go to places where we can let him walk around safely. Theres a few patios that are our go-to because of their baby-friendliness but we decided to try something different today and come to Kaiser because they have a huge patio that's usually empty. Big mistake . As expected , there were only two tables (including us) on our side of the patio, shortly after we arrived we were told "it would be better if toys were not on the floor because someone could trip" (the toys in question were one Lego piece between two tables, ours and the one next to ours that was empty). We promptly picked up and shortly after another concern about our child was brought upon. This happened two more times for other reasons that are not even worth mentioning . We do understand children are not welcomed in most places, that's the reason why we are very selective about the places we go to. Before entering any establishment we typically say , we have a baby with us , is that okey ? Because we think that if children are considered a big liability or a major inconvenience it should be disclosed before seating a guest. My issue is my experience today is that we were told coming in with a baby was fine but our experience during the stay was stressful due to the constant remarks of the staff (not our waiter , he was amazing ) If you have a baby with you and want a more relaxed experience we recommend , Diego or big star a couple blocks from Kaiser. Pilsen yards and alulu in Pilsen are some of our favorite too . read more

Kaiser Tiger was a very cute dinner spot!!! They had an awesome patio & overall had a classic brewery vibe. Service was great too. We started with the giant pretzel and a large plate of fries that came with 5 different sauces. My favorites were the beer cheese, garlic aioli and rosemary aioli. Highly recommend sharing both these with the table! For my main entree I got the quinoa salad and it was so good!!!! Very fresh and not a boring salad at all! Kaiser Tiger has a wide beer selection too. Great place for dinner and drinks -- especially if you want to be on a patio!!! read more

Solid food and lots of seating. They have happy hour which is nice. You can also order a sampler of beer so you can try many local beers they have on tap. Service can sometimes be spotty. Bonus they have a free (bring cash to tip) shuttle to bulls games and sometimes other events. read more

We sat at the bar for a drink and a bite to eat before a Bulls game and were impressed by the fast service. The drink selection was quite long, and the food was fast and tasty. One big perk of Kaiser Tiger: the free shuttle to the United Center during Bulls, Black Hawks and other major events. The shuttle was easy to use and made it easy to go watch the Bulls lose. (That was a bummer, but the rest of the night was great!) read more

Great food and decent service. Large space. Get a reservation if you have a large group. Outside games and patio are cool. Check out their tiger too ha. read more

Terrible experience. Our food took an hour, was cold when it arrived and our waitress did not apologize or care. Will not go back.

Had a great time here this past weekend. The fries with all the sauces were a great experience. I really liked trying a bunch of different sauces and deciding on the best one. The food options all pair really well with beer and i really enjoyed it. We also ordered the nachos which were really good for brewery nachos (other places have definitely disappointed me). The people working there were very nice, helpful, friendly, and attentive and I felt very welcomed. My favorite staff member was Bacon the cat. The patio was large but nicely decorated and covered. It felt secluded yet not stuffy. They had games like cornhole and bocce ball to play. I had a really nice afternoon relaxing here. read more

Ok it's Friday. I walk in at 2:45 and am the only person at the bar. Shortly it starts filling in for happy hour. At 4:30 I'm told I have to close my tab and go upstairs as there is a private party that rented the main bar (first floor) out. I square up and walk up stairs. Guess what? As u watched all these people come in and go upstairs wondering what was upstairs they took every seat at the bar. Upon explaining my situation to the very rude little troll she says she has a solution. Comes back several minutes later with a chair and expects me to sit in the corner. I walk downstairs and express my disappointment to the bartender downstairs who never mentioned this to me. He says "I got you bro. Have a seat". Well ten minutes later I get the "Hey buddy you got 5 minutes." This was my first and definitely my last time in this place. That little troll who I was told was a manager couldn't have been ruder. I regret the money and time spent there. Truly wish I would have chosen a different place. I was good enough when it was empty. This on every level was wrong and was so unprofessional. read more

My husband and I stopped by while we were in the area. This restaurant has a good beer and cocktail list. They also have many food options to pick from as well. I had a feeling that the sausage would be a safer choice, but I ordered the smash burger instead. The size was good, but the burger was pretty flavorless. The aioli was my favorite ingredient on the burger. With so many better burger options within 1-2 miles, I would skip the burger here. The hand cut fries were excellent. My husband also loved the sausage sandwich he ordered as well. I was slightly distracted during my meal on the patio by the squirrel sized rat that kept running by (I know that this is outside of their control), but I would probably stay away from the patio next time. read more

A new patron to Kaiser Tiger but, it is sure to become a frequent part of my fav restaurant rotation! Great menu with plenty of, but not too many, options. The food was Yum and the service was friendly and attentive. Two things in particular stand-out as especially appreciated: 1) The music volume allowed for table conversation with my lunch companion (and the server) without having to shout, and 2) The bill total included the prices of our sandwiches, drinks, and tax -that is it -Food, Drinks, and Tax! No add-on fees for Covid, for safety, for insurance, for time of day/day of week, or because I have big feet. Thank you! Your straight forward way of conducting business is appreciated! See you again soon! read more

We grabbed a quick bite and went curling on a Sunday. The food was alright. We got the sausage and cheese board. Can't really screw those up, so no complaints. I ordered a gluwein and it was served at room temperature. I was very unimpressed. The bathroom was very disgusting. There were both caked floor drains and air vents. It was clear it hasn't been cleaned, likely for days. The curling was fun and a clever idea. They have 2 lanes outside with 2 different weights of stone. An attendant helped keep score and push the stones back toward you. A very unique experience that I'd recommend folks try. read more

Stopped here on the way to a Blackhawks game. We weren't coming on an empty stomach so we chose to eat light food and I think that's were we went wrong. Come here hungry and ready to eat some serious carbs. The food on other people's table looked overwhelmingly better than what we chose and I honestly look forward to giving them a second chance next time I go to the Blackhawks. read more

Let's get this out of the way up top. If you are reading this, thinking that they still have the infamous bacon bomb, I have good news and bad news. Bad news first; no bacon bomb. Good news is that they have lots of delicious things that could (should!) be more compelling! We had a few of their boards; the bacon board (delicious), sausage and cheese board (good and great), fries, beers, and dessert. The only overwhelming thing were the desserts... deep fried cheese cake was VERY rich. Order half of what you think is enough. Good tho Service was great. Our waiter gave us time to make up our minds and had to deliver that news about the aforementioned bomb, but was kind about it. He also let us know that if we had plans to go to the United center for a show, they offer a shuttle, which is a nice perk! Will be back to enjoy bocce (or curling in the winter) great indoor/outdoor seating for all seasons and a cozy atmosphere for groups. read more

Great place if you're going to the United Center. We didn't take it, but there is a free shuttle that goes directly there! The bacon board was decent for an app. The beer and bacon sausage was a little boring for what I thought it would be to be honest, but it still tasted good. They also have a great beer and cider list! read more

This was a solid place, based on the look of the outside. Inside, it was a little more basic, and spread out. Food was good, had some delicious sausages. Beer list, good. Bartenders were friendly, chatty and great! It was . . . fine. Got crowded late afternoon, likely from proximity to the United Center.

Food and beer great, the service was decent but the problem comes when it is promoted on many sites including this one that it is kid friendly spot even though it's actually not. Two other families brought their toddlers and were seated next to each other with us. Toddlers (3) were walking around and not causing any trouble or nothing. The place wasn't even packed at all. The staff kept coming to all of us to keep the kids under control and that they should stay in their high chairs. They were mostly around our area and nothing more. So for those out there that think this is a kids friendly environment I suggest don't spend your money here. Your kids are not welcomed and so is my money that I won't be spending. read more

Nice spot. Plenty of parking along Randolph. Front Outside patio appeared dog friendly. Outside patio had a huge cat laying on the table. Cat super friendly. Allowed everyone to pet it. Cat was clearly off duty as we spotted two gigantic rats in the back. Anyhoo. We came here after a night in Downtown. Decided to crash a goodbye party. For food we shared the Bacon and Beer Sausage. Dog was very big. Love the pickles on the side. Dog was a bit too salty for me. I still enjoyed it though. French fries were so good. We split between 3 peeps. Good place. Will be back to play some corn hole!!! read more

It's everything I've said before...bacon, beer, burgers etc. Solid pub food, big space with plenty of beer. Cocktails are ok, service is ok. Its only a short 14 min walk to the United Center.

I love the location of this pub and their beer garden in the back is large and mostly shaded making it an awesome spot for an all day beer stop. Pantry of tables in the back and front outdoor areas and inside is a large bar with a lot of room. Staff is super friendly and very attentive. The drinks, including beer is prices above average. The food was disappointing which is why the rating is low. The pork schnitzel on my sandwich was overcooked and very dry. All of the sandwiches, burgers come a la carte. Fires and other sides are available for additional cost. read more

Had three separate families leave after the host was rude because children were not seated. Clearly this place is not kid friendly so just be up front about it and let the families know you don't want their business. Focus more on your intoxicated patrons before worrying about a waiter potentially tripping over an innocent toddler . We will never go back and I advise all families to avoid this place. read more
