Old Irving Brewing Co - Chicago

They have a monthly mac and cheese and weekly wing flavors that I’m always excited to see. I’m not into beer but my boyfriend is and they always enjoy themself. Staff are super friendly and the establishment is environmentally conscious.

This place is very well managed. The service was excellent; a constant fluid motion of service.I had the steak salad, medium-rare, well seasoned, good portion, and the dressing was perfect!I sampled 4 different beers, all surprisingly good.The only downside was the noise level.This is not an intimate setting for quiet conversation. ?

This was the main dinner spot on my list to go and I couldn 't be more impressed with the food.Food: As expected, I got the customary pretzel sticks with beer cheese, but I ended up having an amazing Mac of the Month meal which I can 't honestly remember how it was made, but was absolutely outstanding. My friends got fish and chips and a sandwich which they both really enjoyed.Service: our waitress was very nice and accommodated us despite it being very busy.Aesthetic: traditional brewery style with a few TVs and ample seating. Convenient location too near the Blue Line.

This is a cool place. I had their chicken tenders with parmesan cheese. They were great. I also enjoyed their BBQ and honey mustard sauce. They have Coke products. I didn't care for the Cole slaw. Next time I want to try their dessert. Also they don't have Malibu, and beer selection is mostly IPA. No Belgium options. They have a limited selection of specific (clear) liquors. I felt the bartender said no more than yes we have it.

We go to OIB on a weekly basis and are never let down. Brews are in constant rotation with really creative cocktails if you aren’t a beer person, and the food is consistently amazing. We like to take advantage of the wings/burgers of the week a lot and they are always willing to swap out specialty burgers with vegan patties : Especially recommend the wood-fired octopus and of course cheese curds.
