The Scene
A huge antique bar dominates the main room, with cozy, elevated seating nooks along a couple of walls. Two more rooms--one with another bar and a fireplace, the other with a pool table--follow in maze-like fashion. The beer garden is big and comfortable, with lots of seating and ivy-covered walls; it's packed on nice afternoons.
The Draw
Sheffield's takes beer seriously, in a humorous kind of way; among the many specials is the Bad Beer of the Month. Included in the 80 beers generally offered are some of the bar's own brews, including a flavorful stout with a lighter-than-usual body. The laid-back feel extends to the down-to-earth, young professional clientele. It's crowded around Cubs games, but don't let that deter you from visiting other times; this corner bar is perfect for cocktails after work, before or after a casual date, or whenever you and your friends feel like kicking back.

This place had a good area sectioned off, but it was a $38 dollar all you can drink and it only included well-drinks. No redbull, no shots. More importantly you HAD to pay the $38 to get into the section. It was a birthday party and some people were already hammered and didn't need the package. I just wanted to have 2 or 3 beers and not stay from 9-12 and they wouldn't let me into the area because I refused to buy a wrist band. What would they do it a pregnant woman or a designated driver was there for the birthday party? I gave them some lip about the policy and I got thrown out. I'll never go back.

My friend and I were both first-timers to Sheffield's after work on a random weekday. We had some drinks, ordered some food - my burger and fries were both super tasty, especially for bar food! - and bottom line, it was a great little hangout. It was a bit of a quiet night, but you could tell the place gets rockin'. The staff was very nice, guys and girls alike. We both left saying we'll be back!

This place is by far one of the top 3 best beer bars in the City of Chicago. Hands down. Awesome, friendly staff, great food, plenty of room, and the Beer...what else. Staff is very knowledgable and helpful when picking out new beers. I love the fact that you can get a great tasting beer for the same price as a Miller Lite, yet some people will still drink the Lite. Is it the ads? I am out--see you at Sheffield's!

Where to Sit:
See an outdoor table with occupants, but some space to spare? More than likely, they'll be happy to scooch over and share, if asked politely.
Know Before You Go:
On weekday afternoons when the weather is nice, expect the patio to fill by 6pm or 7pm. But there's a constant ebb and flow, so you may not have to wait long to score an outside seat.
When to Go:
Hit the jackpot every afternoon with 4 dollar lunch specials from 11:30am-6pm in the backroom.
