"Prost! is a great spot to drink German beers, order a sausage board, and get lost in whatever football (American or otherwise) game is on one of the many TVs. This Bavarian-style beer hall in Lincoln Park has plenty of large wooden booths and communal tables to take over with friends—whether that’s your rugby team ready to down a few boots of Gaffel kölsch, or your lederhosen-wearing pals wanting to test their stein hoisting abilities during Oktoberfest. No matter the why or when of your visit, be sure to get one of the buttered pretzels. There are solid sandwiches and schnitzels too, but the truly jumbo soft pretzels are the best thing on the menu thanks to an ideal doughy middle-to-light crisp crust ratio, a hint of salt, and some excellent housemade beer cheese." - Veda Kilaru
