I do not suggest going here during or after a Cubs game. It is over crowded and not enjoyable. When there is no Cubs game it is better. Like Clybourn pub it has all the normal Goose selection plus ones they only brew in house and not available anywhere else. It is larger than the Clybourn pub but that is the only plus when comparing the two. The staff seemed rushed and my food was not the best. Maybe is was expecting Clybourn when I shouldn’t have. Still in Wrigleyville which is cool

Visited before a Cubs game. Didn’t eat, but did sample a number of beers. Kind of crowded, and the selection isn’t as extensive as the Clybourn location, but still - Goose Island beer in the shadow of Wrigley Field - not a bad thing.

A big bar on the corner of Wrigley Field. We visited this place before the game to fill up on some good beers instead of drinking bud light in the stadium. It was pretty full of cubs fans, if you’re not into baseball, you may want to check the Cubs’ schedule before visiting. We got excellent service though, there was a decent selection of beers on tap and bottled (not as complete as Clybourne, but close nonetheless). The food was good ans the value on your dollar was reasonable. Not the best beer stop in Chicago, but fun to have close to the game.

Huge brewpub located very close tot Wrigley field which makes it very convenient to stop after a Cubs game. There is loads of seating space with a room for a stage at the back. Waiter were very nice (though place was practically empty when we visited). Beer is selection, which should be no surprise, is very nice with excellent choice between bottle and draft). Food was very good with perfect cooking of burgers and nice selection of side dish. Prices were fair and very competitive with surrounding restaurants. I would highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area or maybe going to one of the other locations.

I went her before a Cubs game. I’ve been to the LP local, which I prefer. The wrig locale is much bigger which is nice, but a little too much going on. The staff did not seem as knowledagle as the primary, a little disappointed in there suggestions. All upset they ran out of two beers and did not quickly replace them. At the primary when that happened I remember getting a new menu right away. The selection of beer was ok, nothing special. They had most of the GI staples only a 2 or 3 special beers and none of which were great. I understand this is different crowd then at the primary but its for sure a lessor experience. If you want GI go to the primary, if you’re drinking before the Cubs game, its ok.

The best time to go to this site is NOT on a Cubs game day. It’s fine for a Cubs game, but it won’t be a heck of a lot different than most of the bar experiences you’ll have in that neighborhood. However, the food is usually quite good and I crave the beer-cheese nachos. I also have to admit that the thier Cubbie Blueberry beer is pretty good stuff. Normally, I stick with a 312, but if you can get a Vanilla Stout, I recommend it.

The Bourbon County is one of the best beers i have ever tryied.

Stopped in before a Cubs game. Had 4 beers all were average. Had pretzels and Mini-burgers which were both good but expensive. Had Sofie and BCS on tap but everything else was average at best. No reason to come here instead of Clybourn unless you are going to a Cubs game.

If you are in Chicago and want to hit Goose Island, definitely skip Wrigleyville and head to Clybourn instead. That being said, the Wrigley location has a lot of neat baseball/Cubs crud inside, a nice long bar and dining area both just inside the door and past the bar. Pub grub is pricey. Avoid on Cubs home-game days unless you are 1) a Cubs fan; 2) not adverse to crowds. I find this place has different beer than what is on tap at Clybourn, but the tap selection is usually smaller.

May 2010. Damn, it was cold in Chicago on the May Saturday afternoon I dropped by .. what a warm respite! Right next door to Wrigley, I’m sure this place is mobbed on game day. Goose Island always has quality selections, and the food here was delish. And the servers were hot, too. What’s not to like. Brewery #512.
