Old Irving Brewery is a great brewpub. The beer and food is elevated above your average spot taking you just a bit out of your comfort zone—but that’s a good thing. Recommended.

One of the best breweries in Chicago! the food, the service, and the drinks – all top notch. All staff has been attentive every time we visit, but Scott goes above and beyond!! He always has great recommendations.
We had the fried zucchini (MUST TRY EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT A HUGE ZUCCHINI FAN), the surf and turf skewers, and their main burger – which all were so incredible. We found out tonight from Scott that they make as much as they can from scratch in house – including their sauces and their Key Lime Pie! The pie is also a must try item even if you’re full!! INCREDIBLE.
In the past, I’ve always gotten the Octopus because it truly is amazing – which says a lot coming from an Italian who is picky about octopus. I’m glad I tried something new, but you really can’t go wrong with any of these options.
New fall cocktail menu is great as well – the Whaddup Doc carrot cake cocktail is my new go to.
Cant wait to try more of their menu soon!!

Right out the gate, the plate for the fish and chips was beautifully presented. From left to right, 3 fresh pieces of golden pillow battered cod strings, crispy fries along side a crunchy dill pickle-jalapeño tartar sauce and sour cream style coleslaw.
Overall review:
FOOD/TASTE: C-
Fish was definitely fresh but batter for cod was soggy at best and needed a little more crunchy and crispness exterior, along with a tad bit more salt.
Coleslaw was bland and overpowered by sour cream; needs a refresh and revisit.
Fries were good and definitely more crisper than the cod bust mostly a commercial preseasoned-bagged; not made in hosue. A in house pontnuf house cut fries might work best, if space and kitchen staff would comply.
Atmosphere: B
Chill old school Irish pub style environment with a variety of Beer selections and state of the art brewery room to match.
Service: B
Host was absent at host stand, at time of time, despite signage stating “wait to be seated”, there fore chose to sit at bar.
Bar staff, receptive and on top of it and quick turnaround with beer and menus deliveries. Flight options pretty straightforward. Beers were chosen by customer, yet received no creative selections to go with the fish and chip chosen menu selection.

Friendly staff and great priced cocktails(Especially when visiting from LA). I got $13 Manhattans, that is unheard of anywhere near where I live.
I ordered the surf & turf skewers since they stood out to me and the bartender said they were the best thing on the menu.portion size is definitely shareable and I ended up getting two orders.
The dishes were a little too salty for me but great flavors and served over twice cooked garlic potatoes.
Nice spot with a nice selection of their own merch for sale.

Took the blue line to Montrose stop and walked to Old Irving Brewing Co. Once I saw the krampus burger on Instagram I had to try! What a great combination of flavors! Perfect way to kick off the holiday season!

Beer was delicious! I had a 5oz Ludifisk. It was a wonderfully tart sour beer with cranberries and Swedish Fish. For dinner, I had the chopped salad with grilled chicken. Everything was very fresh. I will normally pick through my salad to remove any brown leaves. There were none! My husband and son both had the Wood-fired burger with fries. Our 17-year-old son went crazy for the fries. They’re crispy, garlic fries. He ate that giant burger before I was even half done with my salad! My husband agreed with our son about how amazing the burger and fries were. Everyone we encountered was very friendly and the service was fast. We’ll definitely go back when we visit Chicago again.

Absolutely love this place! Not my first visit, and definitely won’t be my last. This spot has earned a permanent place in my favorites!
The food? Incredible. No matter what you’re craving, they’ve got something to hit the spot.
Now, let’s talk about the “Rootin Tootin”—hands down one of the best root beer/sarsaparilla drinks I’ve ever had! My only complaint? I NEED A BIGGER GLASS! (But that’s just my inner glutton talking. )
The atmosphere is perfect for any gathering—whether you’re catching up with friends or just treating yourself.
Do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won’t be disappointed!

Rustic Charm Meets Modern Brewery
The atmosphere here is a perfect blend of rustic and modern—a great setting for a brewery experience. While the beer selection was somewhat limited, there were enough options to satisfy everyone. If you’re a fan of stouts, you’re in for a treat—plenty of flavorful choices to enjoy.
The food was equally impressive. We tried the pub burger, which came with white cheddar, crispy onions, caramelized onions, garlic-vinegar aioli, and a toasted brioche bun—absolutely delicious. The blackened chicken sandwich was tender and perfectly cooked, and the Atlantic cod fish sandwich featured a thick, perfectly portioned filet.
I opted for the chopped salad, loaded with goat cheese, avocado, dried cherries, carrots, candied sunflower seeds, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and a creamy honey-orange vinaigrette. I added grilled chicken, and it was both flavorful and incredibly filling—I couldn’t even finish it!

1st time visit and it’s about everything you would expect. Great place for groups and families. Kid friendly as well…although I don’t have any little kids anymore.
Love the full exposure of the foundry and all the barrels. Plenty of TV’s to catch whatever game you’re interested in. Service was well above average and attentive.
Food was very good…burger, fish & chips were the choice and deep fried zucchini was very interesting.
A LOT of beers and as a first time visitor, I let the server decide for me based on tastes. It was delicious and would highly recommend.

We had a great lunch. Food was reasonably priced and the plates were huge! I got 3 meals out of my mac n cheese. I believe our servers name was David (in back room Saturday lunch 10/26)and he was fantastic! He overheard my husband says something about my birthday and surprised us with a key lime pie dessert that was delicious. I had chicken chili mac n cheese and my husband loved his double cheeseburger. Well worth the drive down from Chicago. I have wanted to come here for a couple yrs. Glad we finally made it and we will be back. For beers I did a flight, cushy, cinnamon prost, Della and sentinal all really yummy. Cheese curds were also amazing.
