Sunday trivia night at Prost is a blast, and honestly the wurst board is 100% the way to go. The small board with two wursts is already pretty large. I personally LOVE the Sheboygan wurst. The relishes are such pleasurable acidic palette cleansers--cute little gherkin pickles and sauerkraut. The ham and warm potato salad are delicious too! The server was attentive. At the end of the day it is a bar but it is a bar with damn good food.

Great bar in the Lincoln Park area service German style food. We stopped in and were very impressed with the beer selection. I am a big fan of Hefeweizen beer and they had multiple different heffes on tab, which is very unusual in Chicago bars. I ended up getting a burger. The cheeseburger was decent, little more greasy than I would. The bar tender working that night was very helpful and we got our beer and food fast. Looking forward to coming back to try other drafts and the German style food I have seen on the menu.

Good vibes...good food...good drinks. Came here because it was close to our parking spot for another bar. We decided to just got in because my friend wanted to yell Prost and see the big pretzel. Anyhoo, we were so surprised by the vibe. Music was great. Plenty of games. The food looked good. The prices on cocktails were reasonable. Enjoyed our time here. Left after 1 drink...decided to come back after venturing to other spots in area. They just didn't compare to the chill Prost Vibe.

Have been here a couple of times and let's start with the service - it's excellent. The bartenders here a super friendly, make good recommendations and serve you quickly even when it is packed for game days. Next, the food is equally as good with portions to put it lightly, are more than generous. My wife and I attempted to do the combo pretzel platter that was just immense. Starting with the huge pretzel that was fresh and warm it also included fries, schnitzel strips and cheese curds. We didn't come close to finishing it!In terms of ambiance - not surprisingly it was very german themed with a lot of TVs, large group tables and even a slew of board games to enjoy. It is looking a little warn and dated but certainly didn't stop us from having a great time!

Came here on recommendations from many. The beers are good , cold , and ready for consumption. Had the schnitzel (first time) and it was delicious. Our waiter was Lucas and he was very attentive to our needs. Gives that old town bar feel , which is always a plus. Recommend this place .

To start off, ambiance was super super loud. I was told that actually this was out of the ordinary and typically it's more quiet and low key. However, that was not my experience this night. We ordered the giant pretzel for starters and this thing is HUGE. It took up an entire pizza board. It was so delicious and the beer cheese was also amazing. For the entree, we got Street Style Schnitzel with pork, but substitute the schnitzel with spaetzle. This dish was sub par for me. I recognize it just might not be my thing, so I didn't like it very much. Others at my table enjoyed it. Our server was not very attentive and we had to flag her down multiple times.

Prost is a great German restaurant for a large group. This beer hall has tons of seating and some of the tables look large enough to fit a party of 15 or more. With tons of beer on tap in all different sizes there is no lack of good drinks and a menu filled with good authentic German food. The food we had was very good. We had a party of 5 and shared the pretzel combo to start. What we didn't realize was how much food this would be! The pretzel itself was about the size of a large pizza and once we finished we realized we were stuffed and that none of us needed an entree. I'm a sucker for a soft pretzel and this one didn't disappoint. It was soft and fluffy with a buttery outside and was served with a delicious oniony beer cheese. Inside the pretzel there were French fries, cheese curds and schnitzel strips with an array of sauces. The cheese curds were tasty but had a bit too much breading and was lacking on the cheese portion. There were large clumps of batter with no cheese and some of the part with cheese were all clumped together so a couple of grabs and they were gone pretty quickly. The ranch they were served with, although very thin and runny, was absolutely delicious. The schnitzel strips were also very tasty. Perfectly crispy and tender and the 3 different mustards were a great complement to them. There was a whole grain mustard, spicy and yellow mustard. My favorite was the spicy! The fries were good, and a good vessel for the mustards, ranch and cheese sauce but nothing to write home about. After this board we ordered some desserts to shared for the table. We got a brownie and an apple pie. The brownie was very rich and the apple pie was tasty but sort of soggy. Both of the desserts were served warm but the inside of both were cold which was a disappointment and leads me to believe they had just been zapped in the microwave. The brownie had a cold inside and cold chocolate chips. Had it been warm all the way through I think both would have been a lot better. Another disappointment was the service. Our server was not present often and every time we needed something we had to wait a while and wave him down. When our food came it was dropped off and he left us with no silverware so we had to rip apart piping hot schnitzel with our hands. Once an order was placed it took a long time even for a couple of beers to come out. For a place that calls itself a beer hall I would think pouring a couple of pints shouldn't take all that long. Overall I really enjoyed Prost and would certainly go back again. I just hope for a bit better service next time.

This is the best spot! Such a hidden gem! So many great options. The staff is sooo awesome. Jake the bartender is our favorite! I feel like I'm In Germany! Great vibes This was literally the best brat I have had. It comes on a pretzel bun which is 10/10. Also had a plate of sauerkraut which I love! I will be back for this, it's delish!

Super fun spot to bring your friends! Great food, specifically their pretzels. Good service as well. Lots on draft and nice that you can multiple different sizes. I recommend getting a boot for a really fun time!
