• German • Downtown / Loop

Booked 56 times today

---The Berghoff Restaurant is a Chicago landmark, serving German-style cuisine and culture since 1898. One of the oldest family-run businesses in the nation, now run by the fourth generation, Pete Berghoff. Today's Berghoff menus have evolved to add newer, lighter, and more contemporary dishes, but it's still the same old Berghoff, down to the famous root beer. In December 2018, the Berghoff family opened Adams Street Brewery, aptly named after the street they have called home for over a century, to nod to their brewing roots and commemorate the restaurant's 120th anniversary.

Service was mediocre and the chick had no flavor but the atmosphere and ambience was amazing. Excellent beers as well. Just come here to drink, the kitchen needs a bit of work.

Curling was a ton of fun, the instructor gave us some guidance and we hammered away. We did the bacon board and and pretzel apps both were good, with the bacon being the clear winner. Good beer selections and attentive staff.
