Horse Thief Hollow Brewing Co.

Over a decade on Chicago's South Side, head brewer Jake Nelson runs an in-house rotating draft lineup of IPAs, seasonal ales, and clean lagers, headlined by Little Wing Pilsner—a brew that took top honors at both the World Beer Cup and the Great American Beer Festival.

The kitchen backs up the beer with a menu of smoked ribs, pulled pork, and handcrafted links alongside gumbo and double smash burgers with mustard pickled pickles. A full bar also mixes cocktails like spiced rum old fashioneds, while weekends bring a bottomless brunch.
