My friends and I came here for a casual night out. The atmosphere was fun. It seemed like a popular neighborhood spot to hang out. The food was very good and well priced. I had the Southwest Salad. The salad dressing was spicy. This was fine for me but if you don’t like spice pick a different dressing.

Ah…mazing! Great place to meet up with family – kids played games and the adults enjoyed some amazing tap beer selections, and all enjoyed tacos, nachos, street corn, and some really spot on crispy truffle fries! They will take your order but I love using their cell phone ordering system. You can order food and drinks right from your phone whenever you want without having to wait for or flag down a server – and your food or beverage seems to show up like magic at your table. Its amazingly efficient. There were so many beers in the cooler – as an IPA lover I was in heaven and went home with some oldie but goodie hard-to-finds as well as some new ones to try. They even have beer from my home town!! The owner was on hand to help me choose based on what I’ve enjoyed in the past and man is he knowledgeable! I guarantee I’ll be back whenever I’m in town.

Been here many times during the week and weekend. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable on the beers. I do enjoy that they rotate the beers every so often. They’re also very kid friendly!

Friendly staff, good food selection and everything we had was tasty, great beer selection. Beer on draft or from the fridge allows for a lot of flexibility. Additionally they have a decent selection of non alcoholic beers

Day 2 of opening and all was good. Thumbs up on the tacos, ease of ordering and splitting the bill, owner was super attentive to the clientele, and all in all, just a good vibe.

I had my wife’s 30th birthday party here with about 20 people and couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Great new place in Elmhurst! One of the best bottle shops around because Eric, the owner is one of the few business owners that has been around in the business and understand his customers, and operations. I had a great first time experience there last night with him. I bought a bunch of beers to go for a very reasonable price unlike Global Brew Tap House and Beerhead. He has a great extensive inventory and also FANTASTIC food as well! The steak sandwich, and cheese curds were outstanding! This is the best bottle shop in Chicago. Hands down. Excellent everything!! Thank you , Eric.

This establishment has the local home grown feel while having a nice modern updated atmosphere. Ordered the nachos and was spot on with taste. Drinks were delicious and would come back, if given the opportunity.
