And if you don't get the bacon fat popcorn as an appetizer, you're a fool. Or a bacon hater.
I'll second this recommendation!! Just about everything on the menu is delicious (with the exception of the pizza's... did not care for those) Love the mussels and charcuterie plate, and of course their beer :)

While it is not a brewery per se, The Publican is an excellent beer focused restaurant with in my opinion one of the best menu's in the city.

Hopleaf is also a favorite of mine, but it is very far (up north) from the city center. It is definitely worth the hike though.

I don't really care for the Publican (or Girl and the Goat). Too much pig, too much salt. My arteries can't handle it.

Bluebird, in Bucktown (same owner as the Publican), is really nice: great charcuterie plates, great food, and another great (and very Belgian-centric) beer list.

I don't think Bluebird is the same owner as the Publican. The people who own Blackbird do own the Publican, though. Blackbird is just west of downtown. It's great, but not a beer place at all.

Yes you're right thanks. Blackbird/Avec/Publican are the same owner, as are Bluebird and the Webster Wine Bar.
