"This barstaurant’s cozy brick space, long bar, and dark wooden accents feel like a traveler’s lodge. It's also strewn with positive affirmations that a restaurant would say to itself in the mirror. But we can confirm that Beard and Belly does, in fact, have “good food” and “fun times.” The crowd of Edgewater lifers and temporary Loyola students creates a busy, friendly atmosphere that’s welcoming for everyone. And after eating some crispy beer-battered pickles, chicken pot pie hand pies, and a burger with creamy Butterkäse, you too might get on board with the generic sayings." - adrian kane, john ringor
