    To begin with, I would like to say that the waitstaff, food/beer and ambiance are all good at this restaurant/brewery. I have been here previously and had a nice experience. However, this past visit I was treated so unnecessarily rudely by the hostess that I have to give a 1 star rating. We came to the restaurant at 4:30 when it was 50% full and therefore asked our waiter if we could move one table over from where our hostess sat us (5 inches from a table of other patrons; the waiter had no issue accommodating), at which point the hostess came out and yelled at my wife and I and accused us of moving tables on our own (which wouldnt have mattered anyway bc there were so many empty tables; she called me a liar to my face). Its a shame that one terrible employee could lose a set of customers for life and cause a hostile, poor experience.

    The hostess didn’t walk us to a seat and everyone seemed confused about what was going on. Then the hostess was able to come to us and tell us we were at the wrong table. The gusset seemed angry about something and a manager and was just there drinking and hitting on a lady.

    The beer was very good. We were there for happy hours. My husband loved the Brussels sprouts, Mac and cheese was good. Fish and chips were good and the fries that were the chips were great! Service was very good. Tables and chairs outside are not super comfortable but I still like dining outside in Chicago. The only good thing Covid did was offer more outdoor dining in the city.
