Went to All Rise Brewing Company on Friday afternoon. If you are looking for a hard rock or metal bar, this is the place. However, if you are looking for a relaxing beer, there are better options in the area.
Quality: All Rise Brewing Company is a bit confusing, as it appears to really be a bar and music venue, but they happen to have their own beers. I asked about the set-up and didn't really get a good answer. I ordered two beers off the menu, one of which came out wrong because the bartender could barely hear me. The Three Orange Wit was a nice refreshing witbier. I was not crazy about Cease And Desist, which was the bartender's recommended beer.
Quantity: Standard draft sizes, no small pours.
Value: $6-$9 for a Draft Beer.
Ambiance: All Rise Brewing Company is located in the West Loop area of Chicago. This area has a ton of breweries, but this place is more of a bar than a brewery. I entered through a backyard area and sat down at the bar. There appeared to be multiple other spaces in the building that were not open yet. They had a few tables inside and outside, as well as plenty of stools lined up along the bar. Metal music played loudly in the background, which caused conversations to be a shouting match.
Crowd: One work group and two regulars who may also have been employees.
Service: The music was blaring and the different servers were just shouting at each other. It was a lot, especially considering how it was still pretty early on a Friday afternoon.
Parking: Street parking in the area.
