Loved this place from the very beginning! Whats great about it? The food, the drinks, the music , the total atmosphere created the perfect late afternoon lunch for my girlfriend and I!

Jill s.

Their patio is one of my favorites in the city , great menu with just enough items to have options but not so much it overwhelms you, can always find a craft brew to drink that I love as well .

Jim Renschen

Try the 'Big Baby' burger medium, w/sweet potato fries . Mmm so good. Literally, the best burger I can recall. Guinness is always great, & on tap .

Jon Suminski

This place is outstanding. Family friendly too. Must have the sweetwater burger , cheese curds , and tater tots . Right in the middle of downtown a few blocks from the mile and pier .

Eric Andersen

The burgers here are thick and delicious — and expertly made to order. Try the Mushroom and Swiss with garlic aioli…and tater tots !

Traveloco_Joe

You can't go wrong with the 8 oz ginger soy Skirt Steak , with grilled Asparagus and garlic mashed for $16.99. The Great Lakes Brewing Christmas Ale was also a winner. Happy Holidays!

Shycu

Great place to watch sports , have a craft beer or cocktail or have a bite to eat. They also serve brunch on the weekends.

K Genter

If you haven't had their quesadilla then you haven't lived. I'm from Texas and this is the best quesadilla I have ever had! It's no ordinary quesadilla . GET IT!

Nick

Went for a Bears game and was pleasantly surprised to see that during the intermissions and commercials, there was a VJ spinning to keep things interesting. Great way to keep people involved!

I like the Sweetwater burger . Pretzel bun , Swiss cheese , avocado and bacon . Ask the server for Chipotle mayo on the side. Delicious and great fries !

Maple Don

Gluten-free friendly = no bun on burgers , and fries that share a fryer with gluten. Oh, salads can be made without croutons . No problem. (Yes, chef , corn starch is gluten-free, thanks for checking.)

Great spot for a quick meal ... Fiesta Burger was delicious. Good beer menu . Would come back!

Kerry Nevel

Good nachos !! They make them with fried wonton chips . The sauce was surprisingly good, too. Besides the prices and douchy environment, I'd say this place tasty.

James Backman

Great chicken nachos ! Lobster mac n cheese was fantastic! Huge pieces of lobster ! Also great selection of libations! ????

Philip Ayers

Vegan : I got the GooseIsland BottleNectar and a Veggie Burger with no bun ; but the bun is Vegan ! With Sweet Potato Fries !

Very nice place to watch bulls or bears , the burger patty taste wood smoky which is really good

Chad

Great beer selection !! Try a Wells and Young's Banana Bread beer . You won't be disappointed.

Robert Shell

Sweetwater is packed with the upscale after work crowd on most evenings, and with a heavier tourist mix on the weekends. Great beer selection here.

Ken Caldwell

Enjoyed the fish tacos and my wife liked the tilapia . We both recommend the sweet corn bisque. Very nice patio seating .

Lenora Cravens

The sandwiches are good and lunch comes out fast. The craft cocktails are good as well .

Cindy Backman

Lobster Mac and Cheese was very tasty as well as the Chicken Nachos . Great service at the bar .

If you like turkey burgers try the Gobbler. Add a side of sweet potato fries and you have a great meal.

jariya chengcharoen

1/2 price bottles of wine on mondays. the selection is slim, but quite yummy nonetheless! for appetizers , try the pretzel duo. for wraps , try the sante fe steak w/ tots . you can't go wrong with tots .

Jenny Pollock

Get the Sante Fe wrap it taste fresh and its delish! If you get chicken it's shredded and blends well with the veggies !

Kate H.

Overall, the quality of lettuce used is sub-par. Chopped salad is tasty and filling, good flavors - isn't much to look at though. Pass on the house salad , uses the same bland Romaine as the chopped.

iroller

Definitely try grilled asparagus , take two! Belgian beer is a must too

Ashley Teague

You can't go wrong here, everything is delicious. If you say you're splitting the chicken fingers they'll cut one in half and give you two plates - no worries on someone getting more!

Amy Graff

Lovely space with an extensive menu but, unfortunately, the quality of food and service don't live up to the prime location. Under-seasoned burgers and inattentive lunch service.

Hugh

Good burger . Good service ! Great service.... Great tv to watch sport !

David Leszcynski

A great restaurant with good food and good service .

Moe Dexler

Don’t miss the peppercorn burger with tots . It is a winner.

Keith Wainauski

Wow - the Sweetwater burger was AMAZING - Swiss, avocado , and bacon on a grade "A" burger all in pretzel bun .

Aimee Aimee

Sunday brunch here is excellent. I enjoyed the Cafe du Monde beignets and the grilled cheese sandwich .

Computer Training Institute of Chicago CTIChicago

Try the wings . (...And the cheesecake is amazing!)

Try the skirt steak . The glaze and the grilled vegetables over the top are fantastic. It's a nice alternative to the typical burger and wrap stuff.

Gyozo Nagy

I have had a burger combo of three here and it was pretty okay. It is also good for watching games.

Michael Romano

Has one of the better beer selections in the surrounding area. Great atmosphere and food too.

The San Jose Group

Great place for lunch or a drink after work. Large outdoor seating area for beautiful weather.

Charlie Ferreira

If you order the Cowboy salad , make sure to get the dressing on the side. They just soak this thing. If you are not a fast eater it'll just become soggy and you'll walk out disappointed like i did.

Ray Hartjen

Great spot for burgers . Try them with the tots .
