Good Times Brewery + Kitchen | Our Story
Born in Lakeview, built for good times
Good Times Brewery + Kitchen opened in June 2023 — founded by Chicago locals and the team behind Pat's Pizza South Loop — with a simple idea: great beer, bold food, and real community under one roof.
A neighborhood place for every night of the week
We wanted Lakeview to have a spot that felt as alive on a random Tuesday as it did on game day — so we built one, right on North Broadway steps from Wrigley Field.
The brewery heartbeat
Our small-batch program rotates constantly — crisp Kölschs, clean Pilsners, hazy IPAs, and playful one-offs. Pull up a stool, ask what's fresh, and we'll pour you something worth talking about.
A menu rooted in heritage
Our founders' Indian-American roots show up on every plate — Butter Chicken, Chana Masala, Tikka Pizza, Tandoori Nachos — right alongside gourmet burgers and bold tacos. It's a reflection of where we come from.
Where neighbors become regulars
Whether you're competing at Trivia Tuesdays, catching live music mid-week, or cheering on your team with the game-day crowd, we keep the taproom energy high all week long - there's always a reason to come back.
