Himmel's

An authentic European restaurant with great music

Smelled amazing when I was there - bright skylight over the bar, there were smoking sausages. Going to try it out next time for food. If they had any Weihenstephaner I’d be back even faster.

Amazing food and atmosphere. We just visited Munich a few months ago and this restaurant is just like being back there. Authentic food, drinks, and atmosphere.

This is a fantastic and reminds me a lot of Wisconsin German restaurants. Obatzda was a favorite.

I had the chance to check out Himmel's while wandering around Chicago. This German restaurant is located in Lincoln Park, close to the famous Lake Shore trails and steps from the DePaul University campus. Himmel's transports you to a cozy Bavarian village amid the big city hustle and bustle. Stepping inside, I was greeted by the aromas of grilled sausages, sauerkraut and soft pretzels. The dark wood paneling and decorative plates on the walls added to the authentic vibe. We sat down and were promptly served heaping portions of classic German fare. I opted for the jägerschnitzel, a pork cutlet smothered in mushroom gravy. It was tender and flavorful, seriously satisfying my appetite on the windy Chicago evening. With every bite, I swore I heard a "Prost!" My dining companions raved about the spätzle and sausages. The friendly staff made us feel right at home. Our server was knowledgeable about all the Bavarian beer selections. I enjoyed a malty Doppelbock myself. After our fill of food and drink, it was time to explore more of Chicago. I'd recommend stopping by Himmel's if you want to warm up with some hearty German cuisine while taking in the vibe of Lincoln Park. Don't forget to try the apfelstrudel for dessert! I'll be back in this city again for sure.
