Birrerie popolari a Jefferson Park

My wife and I celebrated her her milestone birthday. We were greeted upon entering the building with enthusiastic staff that assisted us with taking our photo that we intend on using for our Xmas cards. I had the full Irish breakfast and didn’t leave a morsel on the plate. I recommend this place for anyone interested in Irish cuisine. My only complaint is that they didn’t have Barry’s Irish tea to accompany my wife’s birthday cake.

First time visiting this neighborhood gem and it did not disappoint! The cocktails were perfectly balanced and the beer was delicious. I would definitely recommend the shishito peppers, charcuterie board, bread, duck, and pork shank - they were all incredible. Will be back again!

Omgosh...we stumbled onto this place on a snowy day...love it! Our waiter was great, food was quick and delicious. And the beer....didn't have one I didn't like:) A win win kinda place! Thanks for being so kind to the Canadians;) We enjoyed the shot of Malort!

The beers were amazing! The different flavor combinations were subtle, yet distinctive. We started with the cheese plate, which was very tasty. A nice mix of soft and firm cheeses that complimented each other. Each of your main meals held wonderful flavor surprises. I would highly recommend the short ribs, the duck, and the mushroom pot pie! To finish off our meal we had coffee and a slice of their chocolate beer cake! We shared the cake amongst the three of us! The server was very attentive and allowed us plenty of time to explore the menu. I’ll be coming back to Forbidden Root!!! Also, a big shout out to Check Please! Great choice!

Great pizza and beers. We loved the honey butter chicken and the Atomic Doug pizzas on this visit. Service was fast and friendly.
