On the Grid : Atlas Brewing Company

"Atlas is a key cog in the movement that is Chicago craft beer. The modest Lincoln Park brewery creates unique craft drafts in their small brewpub operation. Inside you'll find communal seats and a wall of framed vintage Atlas ads, a homage to the original Atlas Brewing Company that originated in Chicago in 1896 but closed after prohibition. Their pub food really compliments the great beer selection - be sure to try the fish tacos, which are battered in their Diversey Pale Ale. Once summer hits, grab a pint and soak up the sun on their sidewalk patio or you can head next door to Seven Ten Lounge where you can continue to sip on Atlas drafts while bowling with your friends." - Stephen Merlo
