Mole BBQ wings, Brisket tacos, Mac of the week

Outdoor Dining Oasis
A large Old Irving Park brewpub in a landmark-style building, best when you treat it like a full dinner spot rather than a quick drink stop. The kitchen’s comfort-forward plates pair cleanly with house cider, and the menu works for mixed groups who want both bar energy and real food.

Birria Grilled Cheese, Chili Maple Bone-In Wings, Grilled Chicken Sandwich
What Makes it Special: A women-owned brewery and cider house with a full, dinner-worthy menu.
