"Chicago Brewhouse really leans into its Chicago, beer, and Chicago beer themes. The city flag permeates everything at this large bar on the Riverwalk, from the merch, to the red and blue bar stools, to the Beer Styles 101 poster inside. Even the short menu—filled with “neighborhood street food”—reads like it came from a travel guidebook. Each dish, like “Pilsen Street Tacos” and “Greek Town Gyro Sliders” includes a brief fact about the neighborhood. And while the food is essentially mediocre bar snacks and sandwiches, it doesn’t matter. Most people are here for the decent selection of local beers on tap (and maybe a pretzel, chips, or barbacoa tacos to share) while sitting on the pleasant riverside patio. photo credit: Kim Kovacik photo credit: Kim Kovacik photo credit: Kim Kovacik" - Veda Kilaru
