"The newish owners of the Ballast Point brewpub in Fulton Market will close temporarily due to a “city liquor license hang up” and use the time to refresh the menu and space." - Naomi Waxman

"Ballast Point started out in San Diego, but we’re glad it came to Chicago, because it has great beer and above-average bar food (including a “California burrito” that’s just like a regular burrito but with fries - proving that occasionally the West Coast can be just as unhealthy as the Midwest). The huge space feels like a sports bar, and is perfect for big groups who want to hang out and watch a game." - Adrian Kane

Tried the new brew pub about a week after the grand opening. Good: Very large selection of Ballast Point brews on tap at good prices and different sizes so you can easily sample. Food was also pretty decent, they did a good job with their take on the Impossible Burger however nachos without cheese is...odd. Definitely going back to try more of the beers. Not Good: The ordering system is bizarre. They have servers going around, but you have to order and pay at a counter similar to a fast food place, and you can't put in drink orders there (except for soda). You can start a tab and then you have to take further drink orders to the bar. They bring the food out to you and I was asked if I wanted additional drinks later...so they do sort of have table service. Really, really weird.

Love their beer! Their sample flights are really good deal! They have their own Chicago-only brews that rotate almost every week. You can't go their frequent enough to try everything. I wish you can buy them in growlers, but they only sell that for the regular beer. They also have really good truffle fries. Good fries and beer, what more can you ask for? They have a pretty nice roof top with a decent view. It will be much better once all the crazy constructs are over too.

Pros -Great amount/styles of beers on tap -Growlers & Prowlers available -Good Atmosphere and Location -Gift Shop -Spacious -Self Serve (No table service) Cons -Food was not great. Fish Tacos lacked flavor and the tortilla was stale. The Jalapeno Burger was a bit better but nothing special. All in all. Good place to have a few beers and relax. Food needs improvement.

The beer list is better then I expected, there's so much to choose from! Huge fan of the Sour Wench beers, especially the Red Wine or the Guava/Mango, but also enjoyed the Brandy barrel-aged Quad. I enjoyed the burger I ordered. Overall, the food was ok. I personally like salty foods, but it could use a little less salt according to my friends. Really happy with my first visit here and can't wait to come back!

Everything you'd want in a brew pub: great variety of beers, great food, and an open, comfortable space. We came over lunch on a Friday and had no trouble finding a seat inside for 6, although depending on the weather you might have to wait for a seat on the rooftop level (which is beautiful - check out the pictures). Food was excellent across the board; highlight was the "Doug" burrito and the burger. Very generous portions and filling without being overly indulgent. Most importantly: the beer. Outside of their normal stable, they had an unbelievably large selection of small batch/specialty brews. We're primarily dark beer drinkers, and we had 8-9 porters and stouts to choose from which is very rare (that day in total they had 40+ beers to choose from). Most were excellent: table favorites were the Coconut Porter, Russian Imperial, and Orange Creme Ale.

There's a really good beer selection here and they have a reasonably priced beer flight if you want to sample different beers. The restaurant space is large, comfortable, and new. It's a good looking space with helpful friendly staff. The food is somewhere between just ok to mildly disappointing. I ordered the special for the day, the Nashville Hot Chicken Biscuit. The biscuit was good but the sauce on the chicken was too sour and at best the sandwich was mediocre. I'd go here for drinks but elsewhere for food.

Best place to grab a beer in the West Loop hands down! The beer is always fresh, crisp and cold. Truly my favorite brewery. There's also decent food and an amazing rooftop view of the city. If you can't find a beer here you like, then you don't like beer.

Great beer selection and great atmosphere. As a California native, this place had me missing California. The BP lager is crisp, light, and flavorful. The food here is good, but doesn’t compare to the Mexican food from California - if you’re looking for a San Diego style California-burrito, you may be disappointed.
