When lachettes is closed, busy, or you want a patio, Resi’s is there for you. Nice selection of beers that don’t exactly match the menus from 1985.

This has been our go-to place for delicious German beer and wurst-especially in the summer when their patio is open. The small space is spacious so you do not feel cramped. The inside hasn’t changed and that just adds to the charm of a neighborhood bar where you can hang. The servers are friendly and accommodating. The food is superb. The menu offers a good variety of German food. Starting with the salad that is dressed with the best tasting vinaigrette ever. You can get just about every kind of wurst you’d want. The schnitzels are freshly prepared and tasty. The goulash soup is always a hearty choice especially when Chicago winters arrive.

Resi’s is hands down the best German beer bar and kitchen in the city. The beer selection is amazing, the food is home made and delicious, and the atmosphere is cozy and authentic.

The food was delicious and so was the alcohol. The female waitress was rude and disrespectful to me because she didnt initially adequately listen to my order, avoided eye contact with me 99% of the time, and accidentally gave my order to my boyfriend even though he had plates by him and was already eating and I had no plate by me so that made no sense. She needs to improve her customer service skills.

It's a great neighborhood institution with authentic german dishes. It has a very Chicago vibe with great food and terrific beer options. The outside beer garden in the back is a must in nice weather.

Das essen war gut! The food was really good. There were four of us and we each had something different and the were all delicious. The waitress was on top of things and was always there to fill our water or bring us another beer. The Bar itself is just that, it's an older bar, lots of memorabilia hanging but it was nice too. We enjoyed our meal, with 4 meals and steins of beer our total came to about $97.00. We will go back.
