Clark Street Ale house is a welcome respite from the general river north / gold cost douchebaggery. It is a no frills bar with an amazing beer selection, cozy tables, and a good l...

Chicago's Finest 4/29/2006

Local beer guru Ed B. brought our motley crew from San Francisco here one night after dinner and we pretty much closed the place down. A great selection of beer, all served at the appropriate temperature with knowledgable and friendly bartenders willing to help guide you in the ways of these mystical mid-western beer. Dark, lots of seating at the bar and a great jukebox too. What isn't to like? more

Just fabulous 9/28/2005

If you live anywhere near this place, or even if you do not, it is definitely worth the trip. The beer list might be the most extensive I have ever come across in Chicago, and the food is just as good. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, while the jukebox is always rockin' with a great mix of music. Will definitely return. more

Owner Message

  • Clark Street Ale House takes pride in it's over 42 microbrews. They do beer in a serious kind of way with everything from local brews Goose Island and Three Floyds to Midwestern favorites like a cask-conditioned Two Hearted Ale from Bell's brewery. If you're confused by the bevy of choices, sample a flight of small pours from the tap for three bucks. Beer is served in proper glassware, from tulips and goblets for Belgian-style ales to pint glasses for light, bubbly lagers. There are over 40 scotches, and many bourbons, cognacs, and tequilas from which to choose. This is done in a warm, and friendly environment. The ale house gives an old fashion European feel right in the neighborhood.

Editorial

  • The Scene
    Scuffed wood floors, art-deco wall sconces and an Old-World mural depicting good-time bar antics give this low-key hangout a classic air. River North professionals and nearby high-rise dwellers stop in for post-work drinks. A post-collegiate crowd with well-tuned taste buds yuks it up in the vine-covered beer garden, which turns into a people-watching hot spot in summer.

    The Draw
    A grand mahogany bar offers discerning patrons a mind-warping selection of libations including 95 hand-crafted beers--25 of which are on draft--and include seasonal offerings from regional brewers such as New Holland and Bell's. There are also more than 40 scotches, ranging from sublimely mellow to earthy and dark, as well as wines by the glass. Jukebox tunes are fairly pedestrian, so expect to hear jam-band rock.
