The Northman

Insane selection of ciders and other fruit-based beers/wines. Food selection is good. Waitstaff are very informative and helpful. Pro tip:. Get a flight to taste many different types and brands rather than ordering full glasses.

Truly an amazing spot! The service was stunning, cider selection out of this world. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and the ciders. Cheers to him. Food was also delicious. I enjoyed a cheese plate and their signature fries. Finished the evening off with their heavenly cider donuts with brown butter ice cream-- sell the ice cream by the pint Northman!!!!!!!!!

Great little gem of a place, deep cider selection, great food, affordable prices, very European feel to establishment.

We love Cider!!! My husband and I seek out new ciders to try all of the time. They have a superior selection compared to many places and it an excellent place to try something new if you're sick of the same old ciders everyone seems to have right now (we won't name names). They have also opened a location on the River Walk and we are planning to check that out. The main location is a cozy wood interior with intimate booths and a nice long bar to sit at.

Glad to see this place finally open after years of waiting! Food was not bad but could use a few more forward flavors. This place really shines where it counts, cider! So many choices from across the US and Europe. Many great options which range from dry to sweet. Their house cider (which you get a free sample of) is an excellent start. One suggestion that I would like to see is flights so you can have samplings of several.We went on a late Saturday afternoon knowing it's a new place. Luckily we beat the rush. It's awesome they are open at 11:30AM now. The atmosphere is cozy and vintage feeling. Reminding me of a bar mixed with a cider house, so they did it right.Can't wait to see what comes next from them!

Every type of cider you can imagine from all over the world. There are a bit too many dry and semi-dry ciders, and only a few straight-up sweet ciders, but I still found something I loved (an ice cider from Canada). Also, the Welsh rarebit (cheesy sourdough) was amazing.

Outstanding neighborhood spot, but also worth a drive for. Great friendly service. The Cider list is surprisingly extensive. I didn’t know there were that many types of cider in the world… As well as a great cocktail beer and wine list if cider is your thing. The food is also outstanding. Great menu, with lots of options for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. I’ll definitely be back!

The place is pretty Epic! Their list of ciders is one of the most extensive and comprehensive list that I have ever experienced. Our server Matt was fantastic. He had great descriptors for the cider and food, his suggestions were perfect, and he was just the right amount of attentive. The hostess was super great too... eye contact was on, she seemed to be detail oriented, and had a noticeably kind gaze. I will definitely be going back here every time I come to Chicago. These guys rock! All the food was perfect!

Great place with an awesome selection of ciders and a staff that is super helpful. First time there, glad I stumbled upon it.

Great vibe and super chill. Amazing cider selection and happy hour specials. Would definitely reccomend if you wanna grab a drink with friends for happy hour past 6 or 7.

Very unique place! As Chicago's (and likely the entire Midwest, maybe more) first cider bar this place does not disappoint for cider enthusiasts. I hear great things about their food as well but have not had the opportunity to fact check. I can't imagine you'd leave hungry or disappointed if you decided to eat here.Don't worry liquor and beer drinkers! They've got you covered as well.

I like cider. I don't like beer. Finally a bar that caters to MY taste. Very hipster crowd.

Very friendly staff, impressive cider selection and lots of unique spirits. Most extensive absinthe selection I've seen in Chicago. Good food too.

Food was fantastic, staff was very friendly. Overall great experience.

Great drinks with a huge variety. Good service. Definitely try the apple cider doughnuts with ice cream.
