Ballast Point

The West Loop gets a taste of the West Coast with this casual brewpub that has more than 40 beers on tap, including several "R&D" Chicago exclusives. Pair your suds with bar snacks like a Bavarian pretzel, California nachos or the California Kölsch steak burrito. If the weather cooperates, a massive rooftop beckons upstairs, with room for 150 beer fans.
