Jolly Pumpkin Pizzeria & Brewery

Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales' Hyde Park outpost is the Michigan-based brewery's first out-of-state location, bringing its array of oak barrel-aged beers to Chicago's South Side. The interior of the taproom reflects the origin of the brewery's output, with wooden slats decorating the walls and a gigantic barrel in the corner of the room that contains a table for guests. The beer menu is stacked with sours and the food options include pizzas, sandwiches and an impressive array of vegan and vegetarian dishes (including a Jackfruit BBQ sandwich and a vegan pizza made with basil pesto). While the cuisine at Jolly Pumpkin is a step above run-of-the-mill pub grub, most people come here for the beer, not the turkey and gouda sandwich
