Best Brewpub
Top 100 Restaurant, Chicago
"In his travels across Europe, beer-lover John Hall had enjoyed a distinctive local brew in each region he visited. Hall was convinced that Midwesterners could produce beers as good or better than those he'd tasted in his travels. ... Today, Goose Island continues to brew an innovative selection of over 50 craft beers at the brewpub, the best of which are then bottled at their Fulton Street brewery."

"Fresh-beer enthusiasts have always benefitted from the Goose Island label in the Chicago area. But the nectar is served up even fresher in the label's own brew pub."
– Chicago Tribune
"One of the best brewery/restaurant combos in the city. Spacious, casual and pleasant. The food is good, but the home-brewed beers are even better. Don't miss the homemade chips."
– Chicago Sun-Times
