January 27, 2009 Best beer bar in Evanston and perhaps on the north shore. Good, but not huge selection, with one or two rolling taps for seasonals, a couple of Belgians, most of the MidWestern brews like 2 Brothers, New Holland etc are covered. Good range of styles, with the usual Gunniess, Delirium, Sierra Nevada, Goose Island available too. Good big bottle selection.
Big place - two bars open on busy nights. Enclosed patio in season. (You’re not on the street breathing bus fumes like most Evanston sidewalk tables.) Good food from excellent burger to regional fare specials.
Gets a little ’collegey’ on some nights, but it is a college town. |
