Village Tap

Chicago's premier neighborhood tavern

  • Year Round Beer Garden
  • 40 Draught Beers
  • Fabulous Food

Most people associate beer gardens with the summer months when the weather is great. Surprisingly, there is a beer garden in Chicago that thrives in the fall, winter and spring as well. That's right! At the Village Tap when the weather gets cold, the canopy comes down, the fireplace roars and it's always the perfect climate for a cold draft and some hot food. Check out what folks are saying about the Village Tap.

Editorial Review for Village Tap – by J.P. Anderson

The Scene
The walls serve as gallery space, filled with pieces by local artists; the rest of the long room is filled out with a pinball machine, two TVs and a jukebox filled with rock (current, classic, indie) and lounge standards. A year-round beer garden has picnic benches, round tables with umbrellas, a retractable roof and a popular fireplace.

The Draw
The food is better than the typical bar offerings, with kickin' six-gun vegetarian chili and garlicky hummus rounding out the usual suspects of burgers, burritos and salads. Grilled chicken quesadillas are surprisingly light and fresh, not the greasy mess you might expect at a local tavern. The Tap has one of the best beer selections in the city, offering more than 30 drafts and a wide array of Midwestern microbrews.

I'm not a much of drinker, so I cannot say anything either way for their beer selections. As for their food, I have to issue high marks. The other reviews are well in summing up that there is certainly variety in a meat-eater/veggie menu. Veggie burgers, hummus, and a couple other dishes occupy space on the menu and have a thumbs-up backing by friends who frequent the Tap. The service can be less than prompt, but the food makes it forgivable.

Pros: Good menu selections, praise for the beer selection

Cons: Service, limited indoor space
