Consistently, in the 3+ years I've been coming here when visiting Chicago, this joint has been such a treat. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and Eric is my crowd's favorite bartender .

C Rey

Best beer bar in Wicker Park . Too many beers to choose from and mostly local offerings. Get some cheese curds and small sandwiches to munch while you drink yourself into happiness.

Carol

Very cozy atmosphere and fantastic drinks. Really enjoyed the pretzel , and the cheese curds were good but definitely needed a different sauce to cut the fat. Still yummy though

Staff Picks

Foie gras corn dog ? Veggie corn dog ? Slaw dog ? Everything corn dog you can think of, you've got it. Bangers & Lace offers an extensive corn dog menu with an awesome beer list to top off your meal.

Rebecca Rickert

This place has one of my favorite brunches in the neighborhood !! Nothing seems to happen in a hurry but it's worth the wait!! Tip-make your own biscuit sandwich !

Fletcher Rhoads

Nice drink selection. The food is also pretty good. Get the fried cheese curds . They brought us a wrong appetizer , they apologized and got us the right one and let us keep the other free of charge. A+

Josh Howard

I've consumed more good beer here than probably anywhere else and probably more than anyone should. And they have a patio so you can drink with your dog!

Ariana Voyer

Eggs Benedict and duck BLT for brunch were very good! Recommend Original Sin pear cider to pair. Awesome bartenders !

Kathryn

Go there for Sunday brunch -Best Eggs Benedict in the city (and not stupid crowded ). Try it with a bloody Mary and end it off with a cactus hugger - shot of wheat grass + shot of tequila .

Jenn LeFlore

Uhhh so delicious. Great beer selection and veggie hotdogs . Those things are so good I always ask the waiter to go back and check if I received the right order!

Cassie Grafström

We had the duck blt , hot links and pulled pork , and venison sausage sandwich . All were delicious! Good beer list and cocktails , though limited wines

Time Out Chicago

The Monday brunch revealed that every menu item contains sausage . Crispy chicken and waffles ? It’s chicken sausage . A light, tender veggie frittata topped with fennel fronds? Vegetarian sausage . Read more

Zach Solomon-Beloin

Really cool spot with a great craft beer selection . They have some hard to find beers too. Reasonable prices and solid food.

trillateezy

This is a really cute spot. Good for dates or close friends hanging out. Nice outdoor seating , great appetizer style food, and beer selection .

Josh Scianna

Easily one of the best beer bars in Chicago. Revolving menu of beer you’ve probably never tried, and the food rocks too!

Time Out Chicago

The corn dog’s not the only cost-effective comestible at this busy hipster hangout ; for $5, a Vienna dog with bold pepper jack , creamy garlic aioli and a crisp winter slaw is as satisfying. Read more

Eric Venker

Try a flight from the Six Pack, the kegs housed in an antique cooler that usually represents the most unusual/rare of whatever they’re tapping. Good meats, too.

Caitlin

awesome beer list . but you probably already knew that. the vibe is perfect for an afternoon drink on a hot sunny day

Ana Paula Pellegrino

Great and cozy atmosphere with the right level of noise for pleasant conversation. The good food was also a good surprise.

Nora Schmiedel

Amazing beer selection . The pretzel is sooooo good and the brussel sprouts are da bomb. Try em all! Together!

Mary Crepes

Unique beer selection and good food. I've also had brunch here and enjoyed it. Happy hour from 2-5!

Jerremy Holland

Great draft beer selection , Chicago dogs , pretzels , crispy cheese curds , and great cocktails !

Kimberly

I had a great time sitting by the huge open air windows on a warm summer night... Good food & interesting beer all while Bill Withers' live album played in the background. :)

maria gunaratnam

Eric makes a great cocktail ! And try Carriage House across the street for to-die-for southern small plates . :)

Liz Homsy

Without a doubt one of the best places to go in the city for an amazing beer , excellent conversation and awesome food!

Lisa W

TIny tables in the back suck, but the beer list is good and prices reasonable. The incredibly phallic corn dog is incredibly delicious.

Patrick McDonagh

Great beer selection with some of the best cheese curds and fried pickles I've ever had

Leah Allen

Yes, the beer list is great. But the food? The food is amaze balls!! I like this place more and more with every visit.

Dana Tedesco

Bangers Sliders for Brunch !! Irish Bangers Sausages , creamed spinach , gruyere , fried egg , on buttery buttered crispy toasted mini english muffins .

Jerremy Holland

The Depression Dog + Spritz is a great happy hour deal !! Very Tasty

Alison

While they have a great beer selection , and the food was tasty (try the grilled cheese truffle sandwich ), it was packed and the seat yourself policy was obnoxious with the amount of people here.

Mark Meyer

Great spot for a nice summer night. Every spot is basically an outdoor spot when they open the doors and windows

Nick

Nice craft beer selection , fun low-key atmosphere, and definitely the best veggie dog I've ever had.

Silvia Aki

Super cool bar in Wicker Park , neighborhood is great and they have lots of local beers .

Jordan

The well-curated beer list is always changing and consistently has options you can't find elsewhere.

Nathalie Roat

Amazing beer : Avery the reverend Killer food: Chicago style veggie dog , truffle grilled cheese and house truffle chips !

Chris Haid

Beer and sausages (I like the duck blt )

AskMen

Americanized Poutine @ Bangers & Lace - Order up a serving and marvel at the mound of house fries doused in country gravy and topped with a fried egg . Read more

Kerry Bryan

Delicious food and amazing beer list . Sit at the bar , order everything.

Jeremy Green

Cool place! And either way visit the Moccasin Bar in Hayward, wi. They have a stuffed Albino Deer in the display case...just don't visit during hunting season unless dressed in Blaze Orange .

Claire Pistek

Great bar food for experimental meat eaters. Had a sausage sandwich that was great.

Luiz Eduardo

Cheese curds , hot dogs , mighty blood-Mary's and a serious beer selection on tap

Christopher Bevel

32 rotating taps, gourmet corn dogs , Ike & Tina Turner on the speakers.. this place freakin rocks!!!

Joseph B.

I like the long German-style table; it forces you to meet new friends and neighbors.

Chicagoist

Named one of Draft Magazine’s 100 Best Beer Bars in the Country four years running.

Jackie Quintana

Sad they dropped the corn but the duck blt is amazing!

abigail.

You can get a fantastic vegetarian Chicago style hot dog here. Yum!

Manoj Ambalavanan

Cool spot with a classic rock vibe - good beer selection

Emily S.

Chill atmosphere, nice small patio area and a great beer selection
