A landmark Bohemian building in Pilsen turned into a creative beer-themed restaurant , a basement punch-focused bar and a concert hall . Don't miss the "Juicy Lucy " and the General Tso's sweetbreads . Read more

Great bar-restaurant that offers Beer parings with your meal. Delicious. Connected to Thalia Hall , Punch House and Tack Room . Lots to experience. Staff is attentive and friendly . Great value too!

2014 Casteller Trepat Cava Rosé ($10). "Trepat has the acidity of Pinot Noir with soft tannins, an ideal grape for the production of rosé ,” says sommelier Brooke Webster. Read more

The menu includes artisanal small plates and snacks (country ham sampler, house pickles ) as well as entrees such as braised pork shank that could play the starring role for a sit-down meal. Read more

Chicago Tribune

There are 24 carefully selected drafts (including one Czech dark lager ) available, and even the cocktails have a beer base. And beer flavors drive Dusek's medium-plate menu. Read more

Put your name on the list. Go to Punch House (downstairs) or Tack Room (back-room) while you wait. Come back out to eat. Share the food. Go back downstairs to dance to good music . Go home happy.

Ramsen

Very tasty food. Incredible porchetta sandwich . Cheese Danish from heaven. Great drinks and ambience. Super nice servers. What's not to love?

Nav Singh

Make sure you visit the Punch room. Even if there is not a wait for your table, head down stairs and try one of the many creative punches with a tray of some of the freshest oysters in Chi.

Chirag Patel

Beet salad with bulgar on top excellent. They’ll let you try liquors with desert

T Callahan

Don't fear ordering one last drink at dinner if you're heading up to Thalia Hall for a show, they'll let you bring it with. All in all great service with great food.

Joseph Le

Get The Ordinary - new menu item every week paired with a beer ! Also check out the other bars downstairs and next door (same owners)

Matthew Supert

Nice food selection. Vegetarian options are there, but slim. Huge variety of beers . I had the roasted chicken .

Eater

Drop in for a plate of chicken and waffles or pancetta benedict and wash it down with a cold beermosa. Read more

The shrimp & grits is phenomenal; although the portions could be bigger. But great stuff. Solid beer selection . Dope brunch menu . Great staff .

Mariachi El Bronx: Housemade sangrita, a shot of tequila and a michelada ($9). The former beverage manager named the drink after punk band The Bronx’s mariachi alter ego.

Czap

Nice beer list . Lobster role is classic. Love the ordinary idea, special of the day paired with a beer . Also, leave room for dessert !

Becca Kang

I would come back for the mussels , juicy Lucy , & the broccolini . Great cocktails to boot. Must try beer list next time!

Max Wenneker

Pastries all were fantastic, porchetta sandwich was great but I recommend getting the challah bun instead of English muffin . Avoid the coffee , it's way too bitter.

Jassen Strokosch

Good food. Good drinks. Not as long a wait as they projected so that was a pleasant suprise. No reservations for parties less than 5 so an accordingly.

Danny Robles

Great vibe. Amazing beer selection . Well crafted cocktails . Fabulous interior design . Top notch service. Two thumbs up.

Robert A.

Great beer/food pairings, excellent cuts of ALL animal flesh, wonderfully cooked and plated.

Try the General Tso's Sweetbreads . It's a beautiful presentation of this sometimes challenging product.

Meghan Preuss

Fun cocktails in a historic building . Another bar in the basement and plenty of space for dinner .

Tana Babcock

Simple, modern vibe/ambience. Awesome drinks and neat little patio . Great for late night

Brian Soderberg

Nice outdoor seating for brunch . Unfortunately, I don't think the wait staff is aware of it. Recommend this place. Just don't do brunch if you have anything else planned for the day.

Brittany Webb

Tuna steak special with mashed potatoes sooo delicious.

Brittany Webb

Oysters are wonderful! $1 oysters Monday evenings

Isabelle Gottschalk

The Mussels are and Juicy Lucy are both amazing!! First time here, and definitely going back!

Roy Torres

In addition to outside seating , they have bars upstairs and downstairs too.

Avi Schwab

You can't go wrong. The worst part is just deciding what small section of the insanely delicious menu you're going to try.

Stephanie Simon

Great brunch options at a fair price .

Mary Conway

The Dusek's Warmer is wonderful on a freezing winter's night.
