Great local bar by the train. Easy stopoff on the way home, great food, great bartenders, lively atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit. Waiting for them to bring back their Bacon In A Glass appetizer!

Came here on a weekday evening, I will say if you're here for the bar this would be a decent experience, but if you're coming here for food be prepared for subpar service. There are no servers and the bartenders fill that role, but there were only two and as bartenders usually do, they talk with the people at the bar. We ordered food and drinks, and didn't get our drinks until another server came and tried to take our order again. Food was decent if not a bit pricy.

Went here for a cocktail and music at 9PM on a Saturday night. The crowd was dead upon arrival and I hate to say it but establishments with mostly black crowds always have so many rules. They wouldn't allow anyone to sit unless they paid for bottle service. Mind you the place was dead for another 1.5 hours after the initial inquiry about chairs and sitting. Ridiculous. To add insult to injury, they have the nerve to have this rule and the place is not that great looking decor/ambiance wise and the bathroom didn't even have any soap in it. Like baby what are you doing? Hated it. Do better. Will never return.

The black bean burger is fine, don’t think I’d get it again. Friends had the tomato appetizer which they said was great.

We went to this restaurant upon arriving from the Metra. My wife and I loved the food (roasted chicken sandwich and artichoke toast). We went in the early afternoon so not busy at all if you're really hungry and don't want to wait. The server was great - made good recommendations and checked in on us just the right amount. Atmosphere is dim and relaxing. We'd go again.

This place is great. It’s a Saturday night and hardly anyone here. There is minimal signage on the street side. Would have walked right by. Management needs to get its act together. Very good food, service and ambiance.

Very beautiful and upscale place. We had a good amount of luggage with us, but they allowed us to bring it in by our table. Our server, Autumn, was very friendly and professional, and quick with service despite being the only front of house worker as far as we could tell. She made us our tropical storm right away as we waited for our pork rinds and quarter chicken. The rinds were warm and crisp with an amazing flavor and just the right amount of spice. The chicken dish came out when we were half finished and looked and smelled amazing. You could tell them chicken, cabbage and potatoes were all very fresh and cooked to perfection. We got a peach honey sangria to finish off with the meal and absolutely loved it as well. Everything was perfect and worth every penny.

Came in here a few days ago and had such a wonderful time. The space was clean and such a nice atmosphere! My favorite part I would have to say was the bartender, I believe her name to be Autumn. She was attentive, kind and made my time more enjoyable even though I was only in for a quick couple of drinks!

I happened to stop in today as I was very early for my train. I asked for a skinny margarita and Jillian, the bartender, said I should consider the Mamacita Margarita, as it was an even healthier choice. OH MY GOODNESS, I just found my favorite Rita!! This is it below. The jalapeño mixed with the pepper gives it the perfect kick! I can’t wait to bring my husband back to try. I hope to be too early for my train many times :) Thank you Jillian! Next time I’ll try the food too!

Si eres un bebedor de IPA y tienes dinero para gastar, este es tu lugar. ¡Visité este giro único en un pub esta semana y pagué $ 7 por una sola lata de cerveza! El menú de comida es limitado para los niños y caro para la comida simplista. Su mejor opción es ordenar desde el menú de especiales y luego la pestaña no le hará daño a su billetera. ¡La mejor oferta es el domingo $ 5 hamburguesas! Si vuelvo a frecuentar este establecimiento, volveré el domingo.

Nos detuvimos un par de nuestras en una tarde de sábado. Debo decir que han aprovechado al máximo una parte pequeña / mediana del estacionamiento en una plataforma de madera con cenador aéreo, etc. Gran ambiente del lugar por dentro y por fuera. El personal fue amable y atento. Muy buena selección local de cerveza de barril y sorprendente selección de cerveza embotellada en la pared de refrigeradores. La ubicación de la calle es excelente y más tranquila que a lo largo de Brookside, Ward o Wornall. Mi única queja sería que los precios parecían un poco altos, especialmente porque es contra-servicio. Volveremos seguro.

We planned on this visit because we knew we were going to be in the area. There were many beer options to choose from. We sat outside on the covered patio and for a hot and muggy day it was nice to have fans on. A flight is 4 beers and you pay the per price for 2 ounce beer ($1.75 to like $4.00-if I remember correctly) We ordered food: a Caesar salad, a Cuban sandwich and disco fries. The food was good, no complaints. We were surprised that they also offered beer in coolers for additional purchase. We didn't check to see if the same beers on tap were the same beers you could buy in their store. I have found that the Waldo area where the Bier Station is found is a nice quaint town with much to offer. We enjoyed our visit and will go back.

I had dinner with a friend on a night when Bier Station was donating all the proceeds from sales of select beers to the local Community Gardens. It was a clear, sunny day and the inside was crowded and noisy so we ate outside on the patio; there's also an upstairs deck. I noticed immediately how many people brought their dogs. There were water bowls around and the staff cheerfully refilled people's water glasses so they could pour it in the bowls for the dogs. There's a huge selection of beer, including cases where you can browse and choose your favorite. The food menu goes beyond typical pub food- we had a hummus appetizer and I had the Westmoreland sandwich, which was vegetarian and made with more hummus and lots of fresh vegetables, and a broccoli salad. My friend had the Reuben with fries. All good and we had an enjoyable evening!

Bier Station is a great place to come to for Beer Sampling. They always have many unique beers to try. You can order the traditional pint or get a flight. Prices are pretty average, they do have happy hour and certain specials. Just overall a good place to grab a quick beer. They also have a wide variety of beer to go in the coolers. They do have food, I ordered wings and they were just Ok. There is a lot of outdoor space here and patio seating. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

Love this place! Crazy array of beers...you won't be disappointed and the staff can help you find the perfect beer of your liking. The food menu changes often; so I am sad seeing my favorites go, but they then offer new choices that always end up tasting great. Guess they like to keep me on my toes, but every menu item is delish, noticeably fresh and made in house. This place is so calm, cool and doesn't stress me out. The staff is friendly...people come here for great beer, great food and for a relaxed scene.

I love that every time I go here, I walk out with great recommendations. The staff is very knowledgeable and will help you pick beer based on your likes. I was just picking up some beer to go, but a few brews on their tapped list looked good. When I asked about them, the gal behind the bar poured me a couple samples without having to ask. Very fun place with a nice deck and lots of special events/tap takeovers. Haven't had any food yet so can't review that aspect. I'll keep returning! ☺
