Not terrible! Continuing my run of horrible airport restaurants, Â Goose Island Brewery was OK.
A beer and a burger would have been the way to go, but drinking a bunch of beer before a flight seems impractical unless you've had the foresight to catheterize yourself. Also, I'm not up for anymore "beef" at airport restaurants.
The wine list was interesting.... no prices, I was told everything was about $10 a glass. I had the Merlot, which was pretty bad. I got the cheese plate to go with it and it was OK, 3 slices of cheese, some almonds, dry fruit and bread.
Friendly people, OK food, and I didn't get sick! Yay.
For the price (over $30) I think maybe I should stick to water and granola bars.
Little cozy Bar at the ORD right before the flight. (I fly from/to LA) on United
and it's always Concourse "C" which is where the Goose Island is.
Because it's in airport it's a little expensive but the beer is totally worth it.
(they have some bottled local beer to take home too!)
I bought Garrett Popcorn (fresh and yum!) at Concourse  "B",
and had beer at the bar.
Great Chicago experience!
Cute little bar to sit and enjoy a few drinks. Â This was next to our gate last time we went through here so this is where we stopped. Â The bartender guessed what beer I wanted before I even opened my mouth because "all girls choose that one." Â It was pretty good, whatever it was called. Â Matilda, maybe? Â Boyfriend had a beer called "Honkers." Â We both really enjoyed what we had and got two glasses.
This review drops from 4/5 range to a 3 because of the food menu. Â All airport bars are expensive but C'MON MAN. Â The menu was really small, had shitty options, and nothing was under $10. Â We were both hungry but saw nothing on the menu that was appealing in terms of price or food description. Â And there was a man next to us with a disgusting looking sandwich.
So don't go there if you are hungry, but go for the beer! Â It is pretty good and they have cute geese on the glasses.
Ordered the burger. I know it's an airport, but this burger was flavorless. Is this what the burger tastes like at the main restaurant location? If you want to be taken seriously, ALWAYS have quality products, regardless of location. I'm amazed that a burger can be so bland, given beef is naturally packed with flavor. Oh wait. Maybe this is a new type of burger. Maybe it's 100% pure ground (and ammonia gassed) pink slime. Yep, that's it. I don't know if my tastes have changed, but the Green Mile pale ale was really generic. Remember it being better.
Review Source:I love Goose Island beer, and this small outpost in Terminal C at IAH has a bunch of it. Great line up of Goose Island brews, and several nice TVs to watch while you drink.
But that's about the only praise I can give. The bar is small and dismal. Food is mediocre and relatively expensive. The coffee was like drinking poison, only I wasn't lucky enough to die.
We were trapped in O'Hare the day after Christmas due to 'The Great Indiana Blizzard of 2012' and this was a great oasis. The wings were fantastic. We have tried to find excuses to take more trips that fly through O'Hare just for those wings. The beer was great, as always, and the staff was nice and understanding of our slow moving dinner and 'we're back in the Midwest after a week in paradise sadness' (we had about 12 hours to kill). If you are passing through O'Hare, love good beer and bar food, make sure to check out this little gem. I would also recommend going to the actual brewery if you have the chance.
Review Source:When you want good beer and you're stuck in O'Hare Terminal 3, head to Goose Island. It's a lot of bar seating, some sports on the tele, and views of planes. Not too bad.
The food menu seems pretty interesting - salads, sammies and panini. However, it was found out that the panini are pre-made and then nuked. Kinda "understandable" considering they don't have a full kitchen, but I wouldn't ever order food from here. Beer's good though.
I was excited when we saw this little spot by our terminal. I saw the big smile on my husbands face...waiting for our flight while watching sports and drinking a nice beer. They were out of the imperial stout that Fred was salivating at... He doesn't complain and gets the green line. Nothing can ever ruin his day.
The food was sub par at best... The sliders remind me of that old commercial... Where's the beef? A better burger could have been purchased at McDonald's for cheaper price and better quality, come to think of it McDonald's chicken fingers are better than the chicken and chips. Have drinks and eat elsewhere.
I was looking forward to trying some of Goose Island's offerings before having to fly out, but came away rather disappointed. Â This branch ran out of the Bourbon County Stout, Sofie and Pere Jacques...ie. all the brews most worth trying. Â Settled on the IPA and there isn't much to say, very run-of-the-mill. Â Beyond the beer, service is fine and food is marked up per the usual premium at airports.
