We went for lunch when it opened and it quickly filled up. Armitage Alehouse is Hogsalt’s ninth restaurant in the city, following places including Aster Hall, Green Street Smoked Meats and Small Cheval. Resy powers the world’s best restaurants, using technology to imagine the future of hospitality. One of our guests sent us feedback on Resy once and said that what they liked the most during their experience was seeing how much the staff enjoyed being here and were having a good time on the floor, in a professional way of course.

A Logan Square Bar Copes With The Tragic Death of a Chef Days Before Opening

During the pandemic, Hogsalt has opened one venue and closed two. The two closures were Maude’s Liquor Bar off Randolph Restaurant Row in West Loop and California Clipper/C.C. The latter was Hogsalt’s only bar and closed after a dispute with the landlord. It serves steaks and continental American food, while offering patio seating and takeout. I recently visited the Armitage Ale House and it was an absolute delight. The pot pies were the standout dish for me - they were perfectly cooked with a...

Guinness and Harp headline; black & tans are even listed on the menu. There’s also an espresso martini on the drink list along with a half-dozen signature cocktails. The worst offender is chicken tikka masala ($20), which tastes like limp poached chicken tenders in a barely spiced tomato sauce.

The Most Fun Dinner Spots In Chicago

Armitage Alehouse, the new gastropub from the owners of Au Cheval, is open in Lincoln Park and the menu isn’t orthodox by fusing a dash of Anglo-Indian cuisine with Chicago’s love for chops and burgers. Of course, the only reason you can order Indian food with a gin and tonic at a pub is because the British once occupied India. Not that Armitage Alehouse needs to address this, but it might have shown that it at least considered the charged history. Sticking to the traditional English dishes provides firmer footing, even though I wish the crust on the pike fish and chips ($27) wasn’t so heavy. We are an intimate restaurant and accept reservations for parties of 1-6 guests.

I thought that was just such a nice compliment. Also, you do have to be present to add your name to the waitlist. You can go and enjoy a drink somewhere in the neighborhood until we contact you, but we do need to have a response within 10 minutes once we’ve texted.

Was able to score a reservation here for a friends birthday for a table for 4. We had a nut allergy in our group and they... I have been dying to go here since it opened and finally got a reservation on Sunday night. The best part about Armitage Alehouse is the decor.

We kindly ask that you do not make multiple reservations for more than one group. We accept reservations up to 14 days in advance with each new day becoming available at 9 AM CST on Resy. We recommend creating your Resy profile before reservations are released for your preferred date. Hogsalt runs nine Chicago restaurants (in addition to Small Cheval locations and Aster Hall food court which are joint ventures). It qualified for more than $1 million in federal coronavirus relief funding. I have bad Armitage Ale House for dinner but hadn't tried it for brunch and I was not disappointed!

Where To Have A Quiet Brunch In Chicago

A night out at one of these restaurants will never be boring. The opening timeline isn’t concrete, as Sodikoff says the news spot will debut sometime “after the pandemic.” Beyond the name, Sodikoff didn’t share other details, saying he’ll reveal more in due time. My friend and I arrived at about 5 pm on a regular Saturday.

But for those not interested in the motif, curried chickpeas can be passed over for items like cacio e pepe carbonara, a wagyu burger, or a dry-aged New York strip steak. The website says Armitage Alehouse serves “hearty pub fare and dishes with their roots in India.” Anyone who has lived in London knows that’s a common combo. The oddball menu also lists a chopped wedge salad ($19), glazed black cod with a sweet miso glaze ($43) and matzo ball soup ($13). If Winston Churchill, who was chancellor of the exchequer in 1926, made a surprise visit from beyond the grave, he’d have a lot of questions.

Let’s say we’re having a slower night and there’s an opportunity to message guests on the Notify List — we definitely will do that. But we haven’t seen a lot of success with that because guests who don’t get notified by the day make other plans. Fans of savory pies have a selection of six including steak and ale, chicken pot pie, and pheasant and foie gras. The British influence pops up once more with the classic fish and chips.

I think that our concept is pretty unique compared to everything else in Lincoln Park. Armitage Alehouse at its core is meant to be a fun pub that’s accessible and open to everyone. It’s a watering hole where people can come in and have a beer and a pot pie at the bar.
