I’ve been wanting to go here and I finally made it over to try Racer X during craft beer week. It’s set up like a biker bar, pretty nice inside, incredibly crowded for a Wednesday night. The selection and quality of the beers was great. They had a special cbc menu, plus the regular menu of bottles and taps, and an awesome reserve list. The reserve list is a great idea with such awesome beers as founders nemesis and several years of dark lord. Its pricey but worth it. The downside of this place is how busy it is and the service. The bartenders seem knowledge but so nice. I waited 10 minutes for a hostess to put my name on the list for a table and eventually just wrote it on there my self, and our waiter wasn’t very knowledgable. The food was pretty good, they had fired bacon which was great. Good place for beer, but expect to wait a little and not get a ton of help

This place tears me in multiple directions. They do have a pretty extensive and high quality tap list that runs the gamut. They also have a high quality burger as well. Probably the second best whiskey selection in the city behind Delilah’s. Plus, the roof top is key. They also have a vintage cooler wherein you can get Dark Lord among others, albeit at an inflated price.

Love to go here over the summer, nice roof top patio. Selction is O.k. smetime they might have something secial. Biker bar. Smut and eggs on saturday night (porn on tv). Burgers are great. Re-rate- Well over 2years of going here. Love the burgers here. Probably in my top three burger places in Chicago. Selection is great too. they seem to get alot of one offs or special tap only brews. Rare bottle list is also a plus- just recently there (05/27/11) and they had 09&10 Dark Lord, Alpha Kong (the only place I’ve seen it in the past two years), Utopia pours at $30 each and lots of other rare treats. Awsome place.

20 really good, quick rotating taps in a friendly place with a bad boy biker theme. We forgive the slightly fake feel, since once it wasn’t just a theme, but the way it really was. Now it’s evolved into a beer destination. A renovation has moved the small bar from the back room to a huge curving bar up front. The more unusual local or regional varieties can often be found here - a Flossmoor, the special Goose Islands’, something different from Bell’s, Dark Horse, etc. Worth repeat visits for the very quick tap rotation - bartenders, menus and tap handles can never keep up. Fortunately 1 out of 2 bartenders will know their beer, unfortunately none of the wait staff or anyone else usually does. Food is much better than average bar stuff. Great roof deck in better weather.
