Schnell's Brauhaus

Where to Enjoy a Glass of Chardonnay This Summer in Chicago | Eater

"For a taste of Germany without having to hop on a plane, there’s Schnell’s, a family-owned restaurant and pub that feels both homey and transportive all at once. Walk in and you’ll be surrounded by dark wooden fixtures and chandeliers, as well as a sign advertising German “bier” drinking rules. Of course, if you come here to drink a chilled glass of Harken Chardonnay, that is perfectly acceptable and welcomed — especially to pair with Schnell’s German specialties, like super crispy schnitzel, potato pancakes, and currywurst. Each day you’ll find food and drink specials here (like $5 burgers): A very fine excuse to keep visiting, if you ask us." - Ariel Kanter
