This is more like a pop up, offering limited drinks and small bites. Good location on the river walk in terms of it being right in front of The Mart. Their tables occupy space that used to be open for anyone to watch Art on The Mart.
Aside from it being overpriced for the type of establishment and experience offered, it is NOT DOG FRIENDLY. The riverwalk is known for being super dog friendly with every single business allowing dogs, having water bowls out, and a lot even offering treats or menu items for dogs. It is an outside patio after all. This pop-up style business doesn’t even have a brick and mortar or actual kitchen but is super anti-dogs.

As a dog owner and someone who walks the river walk every day I do not recommend this business, especially to anyone who has a furry friend.

I highly recommend this place to anyone who is visiting chicago and looking for delicious food and drinks with amazing views of the river...

From the moment we met the team they were kind, accommodating and went above and beyond for us. We hosted about 120 people with food, music, open bar and speeches. The food was delicious and the venue even provided linens, high boys and floral for us. We had endless compliments on the event and the venue speaks for itself. I could not recommend Brews & Bites enough for a casual day out or to...
