Beer flight, bean burger, Mac n Cheese
I drank their Neon Werewolf. Sizes are a bit odd, it's 13 oz for $9. Good, solid, workman like IPA. Recommended.

Beer: I had both the American and French Pilsner, both were solid. Not sure if they can, but I'd pick up the French Pilsner 100% if I saw it. Very smooth on hops but packed with that aromatic Pilsner flavor.Food: Outstanding. It's beggars belief I have never had food I didn't like at a Chicago brewery somehow, and that hasn't been broken yet. Their fries are amongst my fav I've had in the city and their chicken sandwich sauce is a good twist on sweet and spice. Service: Friendly staff! Open until 9, we're very diligent in making sure people know when kitchen closes and give out. Vibes: Cute lil pad that's easy to miss in river north area. Right under a big theater, the bar is a nice u-shaped one, which always makes for more of a social, community feel. This, Industry and Adam's St are carrying the burden of downtown breweries but they're doing it well.

We recently visited Crushed by Giants Brewery and had an excellent experience. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed night out. The decor is industrial-chic, with exposed brick walls and stylish lighting that creates a warm and modern ambiance.They offer a beer lovers flight of six beers, a great way to sample their diverse range of brews. We sampled:Neon Werewolf DDH IPALakeshore Drive Light LagerGoliath's Bane Hazy IPATropical Tango Summer AleBirds of Prey American PilsnerFool Formula Pale AleOf the six, we liked Goliath's Bane the best!We ordered the Mac and Cheese and added chicken, which was perfect for a late-night snack. The portions were generous, and the flavors were spot on. The menu offers a great variety of options that pair perfectly with their beers.The staff at Crushed by Giants Brewery are friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. They offered great recommendations and were happy to provide samples to help us choose our beers.Crushed by Giants Brewery is a must-visit for anyone in the Michigan Ave. area.

Not too many breweries in the area but this one fit the bill. Excellent service from a great bartender Jack, the general manager. Pretty nice laid back vibe. Only reason for the 4 stars...lack of any dark beers. No browns, porters or stouts. BUT the pilsner and lager I had were VERY Good.

I love beer...we drink a lot of beer, especially when on vacation. We live in Austin, TX where there is a lot of great beer to imbibe. On this particular trip to Chicago, we weren't necessarily in the mood for beer but we came across Crushed by Giants.We were immediately intrigued by the artwork and vast selection of beer options, so we popped in. The staff was amazing and kind, and we got 2 flights to sample everything possible. Two of the beers stood out, but the others were just okay. There wasn't a bad beer on the list, but it made me wonder how much of their traffic really stems from location since it's in the heart of a heavy foot traffic area. We got some grub, which was decent. I seriously think they are worth a 3.5 but I can't go all the way up to a 4. I think we have to give it another shot next time we are in town.

This place is inside the AMC theater, which I hadn't noticed when checking it out online. We got there just before closing time so just one drink. I can't recall what I had but it wasn't memorable. I had asked for their Mexican lager but it was out so then I got the bartender's recommendation. It wasn't busy so we got our beverages quickly and were able to pay in a timely manner.

Awesome brewery in the heart of streeterville! They have a variety of Chicago beers and the waiter was helpful in giving recommendations. The food was really good, highlights were nachos and fish burger! They were very accommodating to our little one, provided a high chair and moved our stroller to the side. All around a great meal, located right next to AMC theater!

These guys have such a neat little place here. It is in the same building as the AMC on the corner E Ohio St and N Rush St. A previous review mentioned no signage. We found it on the one side of the building coming down Ohio St. (Hoping this helps someone who may not see it to find this little gem.)The bartender was amazing! We had burgers and beer and it was great. They make all their own beer. We ended up buying a whole growler to take back to the hotel. Next time we are in Chicago, we will definitely come back!
