Andrew B.

Great beer selection but way too many sours and other gross beers, not enough IPAs! Chix wings were respectable. First and probably only time here but if I lived near here it would be my go-to pub. p.s. always ask for chix wings extra-crispy no matter where you go. Nothing worse than a soggy chix wing. Cheers.

This Gem was not even on my list but I am so glad we came across it. This was one of only two 5-Star restaurants for me on my trip. The selections of beer are top notch and can't wait to go back to try more. Most importantly the food was amazing. I pretzel bites were perfect texture, temperature and had great dipping sauces. A pimento cheese and sweet mustard. The pulled pork sandwich was great as well as the red velvet pie we had for dessert. But the best think by was was the sweet potato fries. I love sweet potato fries and have had them in different states and on different continents and these are my new favorite. This place I would highly recommend and will return to when I make it back to Chicago. Thanks First Draft.!!!

Highly recommended! Great choice of micro brews with 60 beers on tap. You will find something you like there for sure. Food was delicious. Ordered the chicago beef sandwich and enjoyed every last crumble of it. Looked so good when it arrived I didnt even think about taking a picture. Lastly, service was stellar. Liza took care of us and she was all you can ask for in a waitress. Friendly, lovely, courteous, hard working and passionate about her job. Hats off to you Liza, you made our experience at First Draft that much better!
