"Beer and brunch shine at Freehouse. The breakfast gnocchi — made with cream, basil pesto, mushrooms, fatty bacon, and poached eggs — is a gratifying meal. You can’t go wrong with the chilaquiles either, which are piled with crunchy, salty hashbrowns, mild chorizo, ancho sauce, and queso fresco — no insipid flavors here. There’s a reason the Freehouse won Large Brewpub Brewer of the Year in 2020 in the Great American Beer Festival. (It also won four different Great American Beer Festival awards for its Scotch ale, English-style brown ale, barley wine, and gose, all worthy choices to pair with a meal.)" - Louis Livingston-Garcia

"It’s hard to tell which is bigger: this 13,000-square-foot North Loop brewpub or its menu. With dishes ranging from rotisserie chicken to burgers to shrimp tacos to spaghetti to all-day breakfast, the Freehouse has you covered for nearly any food group you can dream of. The hearty proteins and fried options are reliably good. But if you’re in the mood for something a bit lighter but no less filling, the beet salad is an excellent choice, sporting a zippy champagne vinegar dressing, tangy goat cheese, and plentiful roasted beets." - Cecilia Johnson


"This North Loop restaurant and brewery has an ice bar, fire pits, and hot chocolate bombs this weekend." - Joy Summers

"I consider Freehouse a reliable North Loop option for modern American food with a roomy layout that usually lets you get a table without a reservation if it’s not peak hours." - Justine Jones

"This weekend The Freehouse will feature an ice bar pop-up on their patio where local distributor Breakthru Beverage will be in attendance and there may be fun swag giveaways; samples of new Jack Daniels and Woodford Reserve specialty cocktails will be available to try, and they invite guests to join on Friday, January 22nd and Saturday, January 23rd from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. for whiskey and winter fun." - Alicia Banaszewski
