Craving something hoppy? How about a nice stout? This brew haven aims to please, with 12 offerings on tap and more than 85 beers in all. Framboise, Delirium Tremens and a hearty selection of Belgian ales are a few highlights, but you'll also be able to find American microbrews among domestic standbys. European draft towers, a mahogany back bar, exposed brick, vintage beer advertisements and black & white photos of old school Chicago bring and old world charm to the former Blyss space. Settle in for a meal, and take note of the beer pairing suggestions for each menu item. Brought to you by owners who simply like beer, their goal is to help you appreciate the balance of hops and barley and much, much more, so inquire about beer dinners and brew school classes.
