The mussels were fantastic! Enjoyed my unique beer flight too. Great spot for a happy hour gathering with the combo of a bar/dining section with high tops and a dining section with regular tables a bit away from the bar. We will come back. Was perfect fit for our party of 10.

A plus customer service… we knocked over a pint of beer. Staff showed up without being called, immediately clean up and provided gave us a replacement pint as well. Staff is knowledgeable on the beer selections and food. This is our 2nd visit and definitely not our last.

One of my favorite spots in Chicago. Beer is great and food even better, burger and schnitzel sandwich never disappoint.

Great beer and great pizza. We loved the Hot Doug’s Atomic Sausage and the Honey Butter Fried Chicken pizzas. Also, very happy that they take reservations for larger parties!

Excellent food!!! We were expecting “pub food” but this was so much more. Skilled use of unexpected herbs and spices. This kitchen produced perfectly cooked proteins. The duck was the most flavorful duck I’ve had in a restaurant. The octopus was exactly the right texture. Pork shank and short ribs were fall-off-the-bone and seasoned creatively. Everything was flavorful and delicious. We appreciated the art of the serving dishes, not just plain white plates. Service was also excellent. We were greeted at the door and our table was immediately ready. Our server was attentive. Our food came out hot. Only real negative is the 3% charge to use a card. I don’t like carrying $250+ in cash. I wish this place was in our hometown. We look forward to returning to Cultivate.
