    That day's offerings

    Great beer selection in the tap room and phenomenal everything selection in the market-- things you haven't seen elsewhere or heard about. Bummer that there are no flights but there are half/small pours available if you want to taste a few things across a wide spectrum. Pretty extensive cocktail list including batched/draft. A few wines as well. New offering of Detroit-style pizza, square slices, from Middlebrow. While I like their pizzas, not in the mood for thick stuff when drinking so that was another disappointment. Different seating areas have different feels. Music on a Tuesday afternoon was indie/alternative and excellent. All servers helpful and knowledgeable, some more friendly than others. Very interesting events and hostings. Definitely will return.

    So many beer option! They have a bottle cellar with lots of rare options you aren't going to get elsewhere. They also have cocktails if you aren't into beer. The staff is super friendly and assist if needed. Highly recommend. Ambiance is low key and relaxing.

    Beers: great selection Secret menu: middle brow pizza. The crust was TO DIE FOR Service: not bad, attentive. Bartender was very knowledgable about a beers on tap

    This is my new favorite pizza place. Love the Detroit style .....usually get either the sausage,veg or mushroom.

    Lunchable

    Loving the addition of food. The beefyboy & turkey sandwich are both delicious and go great with a beer. All of the appetizers sound exciting, and I can confirm the pretzel and smoked tomato and olive tapenade are tasty. Excited to see where the menu heads next!

    Superb beers available

    Best beer bar in Chicago. I make my way out here for their superb selection of draft and bottled beer. Friendly knowledgeable staff and a superb beer selection

    If you're into craft beer, this is a must for you. They've got about a dozen taps and some of those on tap are rare finds. They had two Hop Butcher drafts on and my Lord, those beers from that place are amazing. Plus, other rare draft finds like Phase Three were on too. The bartender was a nice guy, showed us how to access the menu and what the rules were with regards to COVID. I noticed that a lot of the reviews here mentioned that it's a little pricy for a small pour of beer, but you got to understand that the beers they choose are from small microbreweries with high quality beer, so it's not going to be your usual prices. You have to pay good money for good beer! The bottle shop was nice too. A giant selection with a cool off shoot where you can buy single cans. We spent quite a bit of time there altogether and plan on coming back!

    Best craft beer spot in the city! Constantly rotating draft list, and one of the more diverse bottle shops in Chicago. It's always a treat to try something new or rare here. Why not 5 stars? Draft pours are definitely pricey ($9 for a 6oz pour of your more premium beers). Also, would love to be able to buy single cans in the bottle shop.

    See all

    Admittedly, I felt like a straight-up alcoholic walking into a place called 'Houston Liquor &…read moreFoods.' I flashed back to college days of long drives to 'wet' counties, shifty looks, side-eyes from the clerks, and brown paper bags filled with Boones Farm and/or Cisco. But, when in Rome and without wine for a party, ya do what ya have to do. Plus, I should have realized that I was in North Center not... non-North Center. There's a reason why folks want to live in this neighborhood -- stuff's nice! At first glance, the spot is your requisite licka sto' -- complete with a selection of brightly colored, HFCS juices. Daddy like. But, after some digging into the wine selection... what's this? First, a selection. As in, choices. Real choices. In classy-looking bottles. Secondly, the wine selection is BROKEN INTO COUNTRIES! You heard me right: this small, neighborhood liquor store has a wine section that's broken into regions. Maybe it was the shock from my lowered expectations, but I was really impressed. I was not at all expecting to make this kind of find. To further sweeten the pot, the wine was priced at licka sto' prices. So, I was able to buy a fairly decent tempranillo that left a nice wad of green in my wallet. Who knew? Even the licka sto's in North Center are nice! Movin' on uuuppp....

    I have purchased some of my favorite wines at this shop, they always have an excellent selection…read moreand reasonable prices. I've suggested it to many friends as the best place in Logan Square to get natural wines. Typically the people who work here are very helpful. There was a guy who no longer seems to be around who was especially welcoming and knowledgeable in the past. My most recent visit was astounding, in a bad way. I was "helped" by an extremely condescending and belittling woman while trying to buy 8-10 bottles of wine for a large family dinner. Perhaps it's easy to forget that some people don't know everything about wine when you're surrounded by it all day, I'm not sure how else anybody could justify acting the way she did. Every question I asked was met with a response that almost seemed mocking. I could barely believe the way she was speaking to me until my partner commented how incredibly unkind she seemed. I'm leaving two stars because the wines are really good, and I've never encountered this person before, so perhaps it was a fluke. But I'll never shop here again, because I won't be able to forgot how awful she made me feel. And not only that, but because I had suggested the shop to others. I just hope none of them have to deal with the wrath of this abusive natural wine step mom. I go out of my way to shop at speciality curated stores, especially when they're good at what they do and I'm made to feel welcome. And how good they are would almost deserve another star, but employing a bully like her in 2021 is disappointing. I almost feel melodramatic because of how let down I feel. Sad I guess, but I'm sure I'll find a place with similar wines nearby.
