"Dovetail’s bright Ravenswood space has plenty of bar seating, wooden booths, and huge tables—but it doesn’t feel uncomfortably cavernous. But the best part about this brewery is their massive outdoor space—it’s great for cooling down with a lager in the summer. They focus on European-style beer, and have a few snacks from local spots like Beard and Belly and Hannah’s Bretzel, but their BYOF policy means you can hard launch that watermelon salad your friends have never seen but are tired of hearing about." - josh barnett, adrian kane, john ringor
