Ballast Point Chicago

Food is good. Hidden surcharge which makes no sense after covid. Raise prices if need be. But don't do bs surcharge. Wine is overpriced. 8 dollar bitrks...

We were guests here for a wedding reception. Vibe is non pretentious fun. Tried the short rib and shrimp tacos and they were the best tacos ever in life....

Went here for a quick dinner and it was not bad at all. Ended up getting the avocado tostado which was a little bland even with the added salsa. Very...

Pros -Great amount/styles of beers on tap -Growlers & Prowlers available -Good Atmosphere and Location -Gift Shop -Spacious -Self Serve (No table service) Cons -Food was not great. Fish Tacos lacked flavor and the tortilla was stale. The Jalapeno Burger was a bit better but nothing special. All in all. Good place to have a few beers and relax. Food needs improvement.

The beer list is better then I expected, there's so much to choose from! Huge fan of the Sour Wench beers, especially the Red Wine or the Guava/Mango, but also enjoyed the Brandy barrel-aged Quad. I enjoyed the burger I ordered. Overall, the food was ok. I personally like salty foods, but it could use a little less salt according to my friends. Really happy with my first visit here and can't wait to come back!

Love their beer! Their sample flights are really good deal! They have their own Chicago-only brews that rotate almost every week. You can't go their frequent enough to try everything. I wish you can buy them in growlers, but they only sell that for the regular beer. They also have really good truffle fries. Good fries and beer, what more can you ask for? They have a pretty nice roof top with a decent view. It will be much better once all the crazy constructs are over too.
