Haymarket Pub & Brewery

"The Illinois Retail Merchants Association, the Hospitality Business Association of Chicago, and about half a dozen bar and restaurant owners rallied at the press conference held Wednesday morning at Haymarket Brewing & Pub in the West Loop. The coalition argued they would refuse to negotiate with the city on the proposed increase." - Leigh Giangreco

"Don’t overlook Haymarket, one of Randolph Street’s constants on the southeast corner of Halsted. This boisterous brewery is great for low-key hangs with an assortment of beers brewed onsite. The flatbread and other bar fare is kind of a relic of what Randolph Street was, before brands and upscale restaurants descended upon the area. The Haymarket should be cherished for holding down the fort. The back space is also a popular area for private events, from book signings to shows from local musicians." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman

"Haymarket Pub & Brewery will host its annual Sausagefest on Saturday, March 4. The event, described as an 'extravaganza of encased meats,' will feature Haymarket's own sausages and beer, along with offerings from 11 local craft beer makers and eight guest sausage makers. Tickets are priced at $75." - Naomi Waxman

"Haymarket Pub & Brewery, Chicago, Illinois A visit to Chicago 's historic meat-packing district at any time is, in and of itself, a bit of an adventure. The area has certainly seen enough transitions to bring in the hip and happening in recent years. However the best reason to visit, outside of the odd chop factory still in operation, is the Haymarket. This is beer and food done right. From the Mother Jones Abbey Style Dubbel to the Last Chance Belgian I.P.A., these are beers of distinction. Toss in the best soft pretzels in the Midwest, the famed chocolate stout cake—with bacon—and a brilliant casual atmosphere, and you've got a good place to go for a drink."

"Last week, independent craft beer maker Jay Westbrook launched a special cream ale at West Loop’s Haymarket Tavern." - Ashok Selvam
