Windy City Ale is a cool place to chill and enjoy some drinks and appetizers.
They have the doors that flip out wide open so you cant help but see right inside. Its very welcoming. The food here is actually pretty good to my surprise. We had chicken wings, chicken totchoes, and the cheesesteak sliders with fries. The cheese steak wasnt too bad. The chicken totchoes are amazeee!!!! This is a dish of tatar tots topped with cheese salsa and all that good stuff that you'd find on loaded nachos. Pretty cool concept, definitely not something that Id ever think of. The bartenders are cool as well. If your ever in the neighborhood stop by and grab a bite!
I like this bar a lot. It's fast becoming one of my favorites in the neighborhood. It's a Chicago bar, but I won't hold that against them. There were a lot of good people here. Definitely a fun crowd. It's also a sports bar and was often packed during the NHL playoffs for Blackhawks and Rangers games.
There is nice variety of beer and the prices are right in line with most of the neighborhood. It also has a good selection of tap beers including one of my favorites — Brooklyn Pennant Ale. The food is surprisingly good. I went one night with a group of friends planning to go somewhere else for food, but when we saw what some other people were ordering we decided to order there too. I got a delicious portobello sandwich. My friends nachos looked delicious as well.
This place also has a backyard which was nice. It closes early, but not too early and they make sure that you get a last call before they shut it down.
Came here to meet up with some friends back from the service and it looks like midweek this place is kind of quiet. The food was decent and it was a little disappointing that some of their beers were out, but overall it doesn't seem like a bad spot for a quick pre-game bite/drink.
Extremely laid back, cool little sports bar. Knowing it was a Blackhawks bar, I was a bit skeptical as I know they are seriously hardcore fans and wasn't sure what the attitude towards the Rangers would be. But they have a little NYR flag up out front, and they were showing the game, so that's good enough for me. I'm not a hardcore Rangers fan by any means, but I really don't dig a YEAH BRO(!!!!!!) sports bar kind of atmosphere; and that wasn't the case here.
Food was actually a big surprise to me. Their wings are now my favorite in Bay Ridge. Everyone is historically nuts for Kettle Black's wings but I always found them just alright; little too saucy and over-fried at times. Windy City nailed it. The totchoes (tater tot nacho-style) were fantastic and the cheesesteak sliders were absolutely perfect; bar food with a spin is always delightful when they actually nail it. Above average beer selection on top of the adventurous-but-successful menu, and it's a home-run of an establishment.
I would have a beer board listed up , but that was my only complaint. Also, this was for early on a weekend and our goal was to eat a bit, hang out and move on. As I've heard it gets packed later on, your experience may vary. I'd be curious to see what it 's like in full-blown busy bar mode and will check it out soon enough.
Came here on a saturday evening. I've heard a lot of hype about their wings so I wanted to try them out.
I ordered 10 bbq and 10 hot wings. The hot wings tasted better than the bbq. But the wings were mediocre. Nothing spectacular. I was actually more excited to order the Ommegang Game if Thrones beer "Valar Morghulis". That, pretty much made my night. I also had the chicken totchos. Those were good. They were tater tots topped with chicken and stuff put in nachos. Hence, the name. Again, nothing spectacular.
I'd like to give this place another try, though.
This is my spot in Brooklyn. Their southern tier pumpkin ale with the caramel and sugar, amazing! So sad it's a seasonal thing. The bartenders are great people and they always make sure that you have a good time. I ordered their sliders which is amazing! I would absolutely recommend anyone to go in, grab a beer, order food and watch the game.
A-Ok folks!
I don't really go to sports bars and am a newbie when it comes to drinking BEER. I'm still discovering what I like and don't like. We came here on Friday around 3:30 p.m. after work just to relax. There's plenty of T.V.'s so I was watching the Sochi Olympics, a movie on comedy central, and soccer all at the samet time. There were probably 15 people in the bar at this time, so I was able to have some downtime with my husband and have a conversation without talk-screaming at each other. LOL.
They seem to have about 20 taps to choose from and the bartender says they change their selection frequently.
Have fun!
5 stars for being an awesome neighborhood bar. They have great beers on tap (that ambidextrous stout is fantastic) awesome spin on bar food (get the chicken totchoes) and what brings this bar up to 5 star yelp rating in my book…the owners! Super friendly and personable. Just a bunch of chill dudes running a great bar. Ohhhhh almost forgot there's a tv on almost every inch of that place. Every seat is a good seat to watch a game. Perfect sports bar. And Everytime I've been in there the crowd is always super chill as well. If u go and see me in there say hello and have a beer on me. Cheers!
