Our Story
At GoodTime’s Brewery + Kitchen, our story starts with a simple idea: that good food, great beer, and genuine community can bring people together. We’re proud to be rooted right here in Lakeview, just steps from the energy of Wrigley Field — a neighborhood we love and a city we’re proud to serve.
Founded in June 2023 by a group of longtime Chicago residents and local business owners (including the team behind Pat’s Pizza South Loop), GoodTime’s was built with more than just hospitality in mind. We wanted to create a space that felt like home — welcoming, vibrant, and full of flavor. A place where friends, families, and neighbors could gather, connect, and celebrate life’s everyday moments.
Our in-house brewery is the heartbeat of our space. We brew small-batch beers and seltzers with curiosity and care — from crisp lagers and hoppy IPAs to seasonal releases and playful one-offs that reflect our personality and passion for craft. Whether you're a beer lover or just here for something new, there’s always something worth sipping.
But the kitchen is just as essential to who we are. Inspired by American classics and global flavors, our menu features everything from juicy burgers and house-smoked meats to street tacos and shareable bites. You’ll also find a unique twist: Indian-American fusion favorites like Chicken Tikka Pizza, Butter Chicken Sandwiches, and Tandoori Nachos — a nod to our heritage and a flavor-packed reflection of Chicago’s culinary diversity.
At GoodTime’s, we’re more than just a brewery or restaurant — we’re a gathering place. From Trivia Tuesdays to Live Music Thursdays, game day hangs to private celebrations, there’s always something happening here. And whether you’re dropping in for a pint or planning a party, we’ll do everything we can to make it memorable.
We’re proud of what we’ve built — and even prouder to share it with you.
Lakeview Cheers, Wrigley Vibes — Let the GoodTimes Roll!
