Horse Thief Hollow7.5
Second leg of my after work journey. Dinner and a beer! Had their west coast ipa. Solid offering. Lingering bitterness that pleases. Dinner was a shrimp topped salad. Extremely tasty. Expected a larger portion for the price though. Service started off outstanding with tasters. Mild business stopped the banter. High ceiling in the old place. Exposed brick. The owners from Open Outcry Brewing sat at the bar next to me. Got the scoop of the local brewing scene. I thought the pricing was a bit high on the salad. Beer is as about right for the area. Right on a Main Street with their own parking, unheard of in the city. I like the place and the beer. I would come back again but would have to be in the general area, not making a special trip. Enjoy!
Open Outcry Brewing Co.7.9
First stop on an after work tour. Easy to find but parking could be difficult at teams. Lots of windows on the front keep it bright even on a dreary day. Big, open space for seating. Lots of seats at benches making for friendly seating. A handful of tvs that could be useful on game day. One of only two patrons. Assume the weather and being here at 1500. Would come back again. Would like to catch the nine on a weekend. Enjoy!
Demo Brewing Company7.3
Visited with Kaila as part of a brewery tour of the area. This was our fourth and final stop. Never heard of the brewery. I had it in the database as Spiteful, which it was, but they moved out. Demo took it over just about two years ago. I had a porter that supposedly had coffee in it and was sold to me on a big roasty profile. Alas, that wasn't my experience. It was a good porter but not great, especially since I like a big roastiness that wasn't there. I am bout 60% leaning towards having that beer again. They only had 7-8 beers on tap which made me initially think they were only 6 months of less in business. The service is out of site. The two bartenders do a great job of checking in, staying alert and keeping the patrons glasses full. I like the space and that there fermentors are open but there are two issues: seating and the single bathroom. They lack the seating for the people that were there. The space isn't huge but there is a lot of wasted space, especially when they had seating with "reserved" on it. Now to the bathroom. Yes, one bathroom that was gross at best. I offered to go somewhere else so my daughter would not have to endure the lack of cleanliness. Pricing is about what I would expect. Accessibility is a tough one. They are deep in the north side of Chicago that, from where I live, doesn't have easy access from an expressway. Once in the neighborhood, no problem. I don't think I would go back. Enjoy!
