Centennial Crafted Beer and Eatery is a new restaurant and beer hall in River North that opened up in early March. It is a gastropub with a focus on beer, which is paired perfectly with its chef-driven food menu. Centennial’s head chef is Ben Sheagren, who previously worked at Hopleaf in Andersonville for nine years.
Located in Ravenswood, Band of Bohemia is a unique, culinary brewpub, where chef-driven dishes are created to pair perfectly with culinary-inspired beers that are brewed in-house. The restaurant is also the first Michelin-rated brewpub. The concept was created by Michael Carroll and Craig Sindelar, who both previously worked at Alinea.
