Everything you could want in a German beer hall--authentic, lively, and like you've been transported to Germany. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with traditional decor and large community tables. It's the kind of spot where you can kick back, enjoy great food with even greater company. From hearty sausages and pretzels to schnitzels and sauerkraut, every dish is tasty, and the beer selection is fantastic. Highly recommend!
Prost was a very pleasant surprise. True, the "decor" looks like they raided a warehouse for old wooden furniture that hadn't been used since the 1970s. But the food was excellent -- juicy and flavorful European-style sausages presented on an ENORMOUS salad platter with fresh-tasting red cabbage, cucumbers, roasted red peppers, potatoes, sauerkraut, cornichons, and strips of ham. Paired with an excellent mug of German heffenweissen beer, it made for a very satisfying meal -- with enough veggies left over for a full lunch the next day! Service was good too, and prices were reasonable.
Ok it is tough deciding what to rate this place. If it wasn't for the prices I would give it a 5/5 for sure. I love coming here for the fun selection of beers they have on tap.... but slight problem, a stein of imported beer is like 30 bucks lol. I love the Weihenstephaner Vitus, and you hardly ever find it, so it is worth it every now and then but better off going to Whole Foods and getting it in bottle for $3.75. The best deal on the menu is the pretzel it is fricking huge, it could probably feed a family of 4 lol. Love the atmosphere overall, and they have fun trivia on Sundays so I definitely will keep coming back.
Such a wonderful staff very attentive and knowledgeable of menu. Pretzel is such a great item and also comes in a half. Great tables for large parties and a place to watch a game. Very midwestern pub style and local to this neighborhood. Also city parking all around.
I've got to admit, I have a soft spot in my heart for places that decorate for the seasons. Lovely pub, ample seating options, friendly, personable and proactive bartender. He kep the drinks flowing and made great recommendations for a seasonal cocktail (peppermint White Russian) , seasonal beers that taste like Christmas and yummy snacks. (Try the crispy pierogis and pretzel with 4 dipping sauces). Such a warm vibe on a chilly day. Looking forward to bringing friends back next week. (On street parking was not an issue)
Nestled right next to the L, this German restaurant serves great beer along side delicious comfort food. Service was great, staff were very friendly and let us have small samples of beer when trying to pick what to get. The beer selection is nice, a lot of good European imports and they have up to large 1L glass steins or a 2L boot if you're getting adventurous. Food menu is small but very well executed. Very flavorful and large portions. One two wurst plate is more than enough for two people. Bring a large group and come hungry, there's more than enough large format seating to accommodate.
Great bar in the Lincoln Park area service German style food. We stopped in and were very impressed with the beer selection. I am a big fan of Hefeweizen beer and they had multiple different heffes on tab, which is very unusual in Chicago bars. I ended up getting a burger. The cheeseburger was decent, little more greasy than I would. The bar tender working that night was very helpful and we got our beer and food fast. Looking forward to coming back to try other drafts and the German style food I have seen on the menu.
Good vibes...good food...good drinks. Came here because it was close to our parking spot for another bar. We decided to just got in because my friend wanted to yell Prost and see the big pretzel. Anyhoo, we were so surprised by the vibe. Music was great. Plenty of games. The food looked good. The prices on cocktails were reasonable. Enjoyed our time here. Left after 1 drink...decided to come back after venturing to other spots in area. They just didn't compare to the chill Prost Vibe.
Have been here a couple of times and let's start with the service - it's excellent. The bartenders here a super friendly, make good recommendations and serve you quickly even when it is packed for game days. Next, the food is equally as good with portions to put it lightly, are more than generous. My wife and I attempted to do the combo pretzel platter that was just immense. Starting with the huge pretzel that was fresh and warm it also included fries, schnitzel strips and cheese curds. We didn't come close to finishing it! In terms of ambiance - not surprisingly it was very german themed with a lot of TVs, large group tables and even a slew of board games to enjoy. It is looking a little warn and dated but certainly didn't stop us from having a great time!
