Lakeview Brewery - Chicago

Stopped in for some beers after brunch today. Our group of 5 was seated immediately. The server was nice and the vibe was very brewery (as you might expect). Ordered our beers and everyone was happy with them! This company also owns Corridor, which I love, so most of their beers I 'd had before. Only small pain was when we were ready to pay and leave it felt like our server had sort of forgotten about us. We were ready for the check about 20 minutes before we finally got her attention and it was not busy at all. Still, small fluke. Would definitely be back for some food!

Came for a drink and just sat at the bar and ordered the flight. The IPAs were great. I am not a big fan of pilsners or lagers so I didn't care for those but that's just my preference. The price was reasonable for what I got.

Dinner with a girlfriend here, and flexible place to bring friends and family, or a casual date. Ordered the OG burger and it was great. Kudos to the service-quick to get our orders in and food out!

This place is good and solid. The menu is kind of small but what they do they do well: burgers, pizza and apps. I'd much rather have everything be good then have the menu be large, but heads up for those picky eaters. For apps we got fried pickles and the spinach artichoke dip. Both were good with the dip being the clear winner; it comes out piping hot in a skillet. I had a falafel burger which was excellent. The falafel tasted homemade and rivals some of the best in the city. Very well executed. I don't drink but it should be noted that the beer menu is not extensive. So if you're looking for a brewery that has a ton of taps this is not the place. All in all this is a solid neighborhood bar that has great food and is good for groups too!

An enthusiastic five stars based on two visits so far. First stop was for lunch between work meetings. I ate at the bar and it was very quiet. I had the falafel burger, which I rate as one of the best burgers of any kind I have ever had and I have had a lot. First burger made of falafel, but I eat a lot of falafel wraps. This is oustanding. Paired with the Wizard Fight IPA so good you need two pints and they have to go packs. Second stop was for dinner with my wife at a sidewalk table. I got the Nashville Hot Chicken, which was two slabs of chicken, perfectly fried gooey egg, and frankly incredible. I would not say hot but more flavorful yet I know I have a very high tolerance for heat. Paired with the sampler. I would order both sandwiches again and again. Shout out for the great can art. Can 't wait for the Shark Meets Hipster can to add to my garage wall with their others (Wizard Fight and Zombie Prom). Service great, food prompt, prices fair and great ambiance inside and outside. What a gem. The local population is lucky to have this place.
