Rock Bottom Brewery - Chicago
Located on the corner of Grand and State in downtown Chicago right on the Red Line (Grand Stop). Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery has become a destination for award- winning handcrafted beers, quality American cuisine and friendly energetic service. Rock Bottom is the perfect place if you're looking to catch the big game on one of 23 flat screens, enjoy a cozy dinner with friends, get up-close and personal with one of the country’s best skylines. Did I forget to mention our beer is mighty quaffable?

"The rooftop is the ONLY reason to go here. The food is so poor. It's your basic "chain restaurant" food. We got the southwest eggrolls and they were mushy and you can tell they had been sitting awhile- as they glazed over. The blackened chicken salad has potential to be good, yet they drench it in dressing, so I would suggest getting it on the side.
I think they should make their menu a little more healthy or at least have healthy options! I ordered a blackened chicken salad later to find out it's over 1,000 calories!!! Get with the times people- noone wants to eat a salad that unhealthy! Might as well gotten the friend food! I would recommend the rooftop for ambiance but drink- don't eat here,"

"We actually were there for a convention. We were looking for an inexpensive place to eat. We ate in the bar area. Service was good, food arrived quick and was tasty.
We will be making reservations again next convention."

"Rock Bottom has a very good selection of food - it's definitely more than typical "bar food" - and their on-site brews were fantastic. That is the primary reason we wanted to visit there again. Our server was wonderful and helped us out when one of the dishes didn't turn out quite right from the kitchen. It has a relaxed, fun atmosphere and we will be back again."
