Well, I went there this past weekend when some friends suggested it. They said it was an awesome german place with massive beers; their description was pretty spot on. The actual bar was roomy, even though there was no outdoor seating because of the weather. We were able to grab a table, and ordered beers within two minutes of sitting down. I tried the HB original, and it was absolutely amazing. My friend ordered the bavarian(sp?) bratwurst, and when it arrived, the smell of it alone was in perfect harmony with the taste of the beer. The food was cheap, I believe he paid 6-7 dollars for 2 brats and a good portion of kraut and potato salad. The beers were a little pricey, but not bad since the stein is utterly massive. SInce the stein is 12-13$, you're only paying about 3-4 dollars a beer, which certainly isn't a bad price on an import in the uber-expensive Wrigley scene. I ended up having a great time, and having to leave my car and take the el home. I will certainly be going back.
