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

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

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!

The food in this restaurant is average - about on par with a chili's or an applebee's - but it does brew its own beer - which is good (I'd suggest the wheat), and the roof top deck (where you can get a beer or other drink and limited appetizers) is a really fun spot to hang out after work or take relatives who are feeling a little weary of the "big city".

This was the best restuarant we ate at during our visit to chicago. The portions were huge, food was outstanding and the price was the best part about it. Services wasnt the best in the world but overall this was a great dining experience.
Pros: Food, Price, Portions
Cons: Service

Fos starters, you can't go wrong with the seared ahi appetizer. The tuna just melts in your mouth! Then I skip the entree and plunge straight into dessert. The derby pie is to die for. A must try for chocolate lovers!
Pros: great prices, large portions, fun atmosphere

I would warn you to not drink too many of one of their beers, but I can't remember which one! Start with the beer sampler and you are sure to find one to suit you. Service was great and the atmosphere is youthful but mixed. The pool tables are pretty nice for a bar, full-size too. Munchies were great...but considering how many beers I drank, the napkins would have tasted great. I had such a good time here, I had to try the one in Long Beach, CA...I think I will stick to the Chicago location.

Good place to go after work. Located in a good place. The beer garden always provides good entertainment/ great food

We started with a sampler of all the beers before homing in on a single flavor. That seems to be a good idea if it's your first time. Also, you can get beer to go. The atmosphere was borline sportsbar, without the team posters. The food was very good.
