What a cool place!! Very good beer selection tap or bottle. Being a metal head the music was not an issue for me, but be prepared, haha no Lady GaGa...

The place is small and being a warm day was a little uncomfortable being that our bar seats were near the grill, but the beer trumped the heat for a while.

The wait staff looks a little scary, but were cool once they had a minute to talk...very busy back there.

We didn't think to get a burger (DUH), but they looked Phenominal!!

Will definitely be back for the burger and some beers!

If you love burgers, beer and Metal music, you love Kuma's Corner. Their burgers are works of art and the selection has something for everyone. Their beer selection is a vast wonderland of different options, with both local and beyond craft beers. The music is spot on as well. Try the Mac n Cheese though, it's killer!

Literally on a corner is a snug black metal burger bar with inviting service and a sneaky good tap list. The playlist is mine, I'm convinced, love it. The burgers are good, but don't sleep on the apps. Get fun bottles in too. Lively, not a quiet place, but the burgers and beer are delicious

The original Kuma's. I have been here once. We got there right when they opened and we were seated right away. When we left there was a line out the door. Great burgers and fresh cut fries. My buddy liked his mac and cheese as well. The selection of craft beer is very good with fifteen taps and around sixty bottles/cans. Heavy metal music and videos played at reasonable a volume. Recommended.

As a dyed-in-the-wool metalhead, this is pretty much the ultimate beer-and-burger joint.

Stopped here after a Beer Temple trip. Burgers are enormous and they have some cool appetizers. Beer on top is solid, and some good bottles. Not a ton of options, but what they have is good.

Kuma's Corner's burgers are as good as it gets. The service is always great, even when the line is out the door. Beer selection always small yet well thought out. Usually a Three Floyds selection available. Stellar, always bring out of town guests here!

This place is IT. This is a beer drinker's heaven. Walking in is like being teleported to a medieval, heavy metal, evil castle. Weaponry lines the walls, there's skulls, guitars and always really awesome hard rock to death metal music playing. The beer selection here is ridiculously awesome as are the insanely creative, metal band named burgers they offer. The staff is very friendly and is quick to get you seated (there's usually a bit of a long wait, naturally). If you are unsure of what a beer is, or just want to know what's on their rotating handles, just ask, they're more than happy to tell or check it for you. My first experience here was stellar, awesome heavy metal music, a gourmet burger and mac 'n' cheese and a glass of Three Floyd's Cimmerian Sabertooth Berzerker imperial IPA from the tap. If you're in Chicago, you HAVE to visit Kuma's Corner!!!!!
