Northdown has a nice beer selection and a pretty laid back atmosphere. The bartenders are easy-going and have no problem handling any questions you might have. Prices are average for the selection. I think this is a good place to meet a few friends for a drink after work. The food menu is pretty good, too.

One of the best beer menus in the city, rotating almost daily. If you're a beer nerd and don't want the beer snob attitude that you get from many other places with a beer menu as in depth as theirs, visit this gem. Food is fantastic as well, chicken sandwich is one of the best I've had, pork frittes are legit, you just may want to do some cardio first so you feel better about eating them!

You is my favorite bar in the city. The draft list is always impressive and it's likely the best bottle list around. Food is decent (the pork fries are better than decent) and the main bar room has a great feel. This a little older little more mature crowd usually and I love it here.

My brother and I happened to be in the neighborhood and in need of a beer when we walked in the northdown cafe and our thirsts were more then answered. The bar keep was a fellow veteran and extremely helpful in answering all out questions about the sour beer we had on our minds. We left feeling great from the shots of freedom and wealth of knowledge provided to us while here and would highly recommend anyone who is thirsty to do the same, you won't regret it!

Decent neighborhood spot with a great beer list. Nice "bro-free" atmosphere that is often hard to find at Lakeview-area taverns. Menu is fairly limited and food is just ok, would have expected much better for the amount of time it took to get to our table. Service at the bar was excellent, much less so when we moved to a table.

Summer 2017: Temporarily closed for renovations.
Northdown has been serving up an eclectic mic of craft beers and hearty gastropub fare for the last few years. It's a nice low-key spot to actually relax and talk with friends over beers and dinner. They really know their beer, and get some really interesting drafts that rotate constantly. Good location near CTA, and several other craft bars like Green Lady and Four Moon.

Possibly my favorite bar in Chicago. The beer, service, and food are fantastic. It's fun, laid back, and always has a good crowd. Seriously, don't miss this one. Oh, and bring your vegan friends here - they'll be happy.

Stellar beer selection including plenty of hard to find varieties. I've had drinks there on multiple occasions but only eaten here once. That said, the burger was excellent. It can get crowded in the evening so if your focus is dinner I'd probably recommend going early in the night.
