The Berghoff Restaurant

About

The Berghoff Restaurant is a Chicago landmark, serving German-style cuisine and culture since 1898. One of the oldest family-run businesses in the nation, it is now run by fourth generation, Pete Berghoff. At today’s Berghoff, menus have evolved to add newer, lighter and more contemporary dishes, but it’s still the same old Berghoff, down to the famous root beer. Open for lunch and dinner, the Berghoff’s wide variety of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and entrées is sure to satisfy everyone in your party. With fresh ingredients, seasonal menus and vegetarian & gluten-free dishes, it's “tradition with a twist!” Private Dining provides a truly unique event experience within the setting of the historic Berghoff building. Host your next event in one of our four private rooms. Contact us to start planning today!

Meatballs were bland and mush. Mushrooms tasted great so that gravy could have been great if the mushy noodles and meatballs weren't brining it down to bland town.Beers were good. Service was also good.

Can't say anything bad about this place. Tons of gorgeous woodwork. The food was amazing. I definitely recommend the potato pancakes. They have about a dozen in-house brews and they do not disappoint. I suggest the lager for those who know their Bier. It tastes exactly like those you would get in Bavaria. Well done guys.

Nice food and beer options, I always get the beer flight. Price is okay for the area/quantity, the only thing we would change is that the service can sometimes be really slow, like with refilling water or for bringing the check back. Overall though, such a nice place. The atmosphere is really cozy and sophisticated. We usually eat here before or after seeing a movie at the AMC.

It was the first bar to get their liquor license after prohibition. They even have the original speak easy inside.

Good Morning Patt, We are closed on Sundays and major holidays. Our hours are from 11-9 PM Mon-Fri and 11:30-9 PM on Sat. Hope to see you soon!

There is no formal dress code although you probably need to adhere to the local norms shoes pants/shorts shirt. They might throw you out if you come in naked.

Not really.
