I recently visited Kaiser Tiger before a Bulls game for some beers and food. The bar itself is great with a lively atmosphere, and the free shuttle to the United Center was a nice touch—definitely made getting to the game much easier! The drinks were solid, but the food was a bit hit or miss. Everything was alright, except for the pork schnitzel, which came out very burnt. They were happy to remake it, but it took an additional 15 minutes. We also had to track down our server a few times, which was a bit frustrating considering we were trying to make it on time to the game and the place was not busy at all. Overall, the bar is a fun spot, but the food and drinks are just average. Would definitely come back for the drinks and shuttle service, but not sure if I'd rush for the food again.

Service was great, vibes were fun. We ordered right away and it took almost 45 mins to get our meals and you’d think that it would come out fresh. I don’t mind that it took a long time because it was prime dinner hour and our server was nice and on top of it, but it was frustrating that the fries were cold and soggy.

Took over an hour to get out food and when we did we were charged for chicken even thought it wasn’t on a wrap. Sad.

The sausage was excellent, but the other food was cold and mediocre tasting. The service was awful though unfortunately.

Curling was a ton of fun, the instructor gave us some guidance and we hammered away. We did the bacon board and and pretzel apps both were good, with the bacon being the clear winner. Good beer selections and attentive staff.

We went for an intended game of curling and a lunch, but cut ourselves off after the appetizers. The curling was fun, it’s a slightly smaller court and there are no brooms involved, but it’s still the heavy stones. The game and strategy is more like bocce than I expected. The person attending the courts helped us keep score which was nice. Then after the session we went intending for lunch. We got the pretzel and it was not only overcooked but also seemed stale. (Like it was heated for the second time.) The beer on tap was good but it was at this point we cut the meal short.

Very weird drink options and they don’t make the regular version of them. (E.g., bacon fat manhattan, cold brew vodka martini). Our server never came back after we ordered drinks so we had to find him to pay our bill. It was busy before a Blackhawks game, so maybe it’s better not on a busy night?

Kaiser Tiger was a cool place with great food including an awesome Smash burger and some 20 odd draft beers ! Great location west of Fulton market on Randolph at Ogden and the great part is they have curling inside the building ! And a free shuttle to Hawjs and Bulls games which we used to get to the UC ! So book so easy Loved it !
