The Scene – Goose Island is loud and raucous on weekends, drawing big crowds for drinking or catching sports on TVs scattered throughout the giant rehabbed warehouse. Beer is everywhere--glasses, buckets and tanks of it, from light lagers to heavy stouts. If you're going to eat, avoid the heavy brews at first. Go with something light like the Blonde Ale, robust and smooth. Honkers Ale also is a good choice, slightly fruity and not too thick. – – The Draw – Food made with beer includes the brewer's Stilton burger, a half pound of pepper-crusted prime beef served on…

Blah

Nothing unique about this place or the food. The food and ambiance resembles any Bennigans or Applebee's. I enjoy Goose Islands brew but this poor attempt at a restaurant was disappointing to say the least. With all the great places to eat in this city why bother with something so uninspired.
- Pros: Goose Island beer
- Cons: the awful menu, its garbage

Great beer, good food, fun service
by andrewap
I was in Chicago briefly a few weeks ago and I heard good things about Goose Island. I decided to check it out and was more than pleased. The beer... mmmm... delicious and unique (the matilda is superb) and the drinks are reasonably priced (usually a dollar per Alc. %). I had the fish tacos, which were very good, not at all what I would call "bar food". The service was lively and firendly - a nice place to whittle three hours away.
- Pros: service, food/drinks, atmosphere
- Cons: food is a little over priced

Terrible Service
by savg_pncl
If you read most of these reviews you will notice one consistent theme: the lack of service. Food is not much better. Restaurant is dirty (creepy crawlers at the bar). Beer is "craft" but not worth the $$$. Save your money and stay at home.
- Pros: Only beer pub in the city.
- Cons: Only beer pub in the city.
