Beer and bar food go together like…. Well, I am not really sure what they go together like but the two were served up heartily on Friday, 31 July 2009 at the Chicago Word Press Meetup Group meeting. It was my first visit to Jimmy Fig’s and it won’t be my last. If you want to kick back after work with a beer and a bite to eat, you might want to stop by Jimmy Fig’s to let some of the evening rush hour pass you by.
I ordered Fat Tire, a Belgian amber ale. In general, I prefer very dark beers and asked the waitress if they had a dark beer other than Guinness. She recommended Fat Tire and I said I would try it. I was taken aback when this amber colored beer arrived. However, I found it tasty to my palate and two bottles went down smoothly. Between the two beers I ordered a plate of mini-burgers with bacon and cheese. The good of this is that I discovered a new brew. The bad new is that I have no will power against bacon and beef.
Jimmy Fig’s is a fun place to hang out with a couple of friends or a group. The beer, food, price, and company make it all worthwhile.
