What People Are Saying About Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery

In Short – This spacious restaurant's college feel is magnified by pool tables, young, denim-clad servers, and beer posters you might see in a dorm room. The menu offers plenty of good brewpub fare: Ribs and chicken are smoky and tangy, with a serious kick. Fragrant with beer, brown ale chicken has mushrooms and strips of chicken layered over white cheddar mashed potatoes. Beers are all brewed on-site, and range from Chicago Gold to Terminal Stout.

Cool atmosphere, love the roof-top deck

by jimmyj101

This is a great place to go for after work drinks. On a nice day, Head up to the roof and have a drink at the rooftop bar. They have a solid and diverse offering of self-brewed beers. The menu is also solid. I love the wings, but avoid the salmon fish & chips. The downside is that it's pricey, but what can you expect from a chain brewery located in downtown chicago. If you want cheap drinks, head down the street to one of the many hole-in-the-wall bars.

  • Pros: great atmosphere, good beers
  • Cons: pricey

Over Priced!!!

by tequilas

Having lived in NYC for years I'm no stranger to over priced drinks but this place is ridiculous! It's a local happy hour restaurant with bar food yet the mixed drinks are priced as if you are at a 5 star celeb hangout. Give me a break. I will never go back!!!

  • Cons: over-priced mixed drinks
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Just the right place

by Alisonvb

what a great time we had! we stumbled on the bar after dinner on a saturday evening, so we had a few drinks and had a great time. the next day we were planning on going to espn zone to watch the jets game and they weren't playing the game! so we went right back to rock bottom to watch football... wings were delish!
