Great selection of ciders on tap, vegetarian and vegan food options. I had a very delicious salad and was impressed to see they had vegan sausages on the menu. It's the perfect place to hangout while waiting for your architectural boat tour to start!

We went here three days ago and it was so good we went back again yesterday. The Northman Burger and the Chicago dog were phenomenal and I loved the Ladies Man wheat beer. If I lived in Chicago I’d be at this place like once a month.

I am convinced the tater tots were solely cooked by a heat lamp and only a heat lamp. Drink selection is solid. Good pandemic friendly spot.

I organized a company (~20-30 people) happy hour here and everything about it was amazing!Location - easy access, beautiful walk, open space, and beautiful river viewsService - The team was outstanding. I worked with Tracie I. to organize the event and she was extremely helpful, prompt with her responses and recommendations, and the day of the event went extremely smooth and I could actually enjoy myself as well, which is rare when you are hosting!Food/Drinks - Delicious and lots of it!I highly recommend this spot for events but also for casual get together with friends. They have a ton of seating and great food and drink options, you can not go wrong.

Great views. Friendly staff. Live music many nights.

Came here while on vacation. Very good place to relax after a day of wandering the city, huge local beer selection. The house ciders are also quite decent.

I was out walking at dusk, decided I needed a rest and some food, stopped here for a brat. If restaurant success depends on location this place has got it made. There are few places more pleasant in Chicago than the new river walk and the Northman has a choice spot. All the river walk joints are a little pricey. The Northman had a large array of potables including Austrian pilsner. This was a wonderful place to sit and watch day turn to night.

Quick and easy service right on the river. We loved their cider selection!
