the location of the fire hydrant

I'm probably taking some street-cred from Liberty Lounge just by reviewing it here (or you can probably call it 'Da El-El -- if you don't already call it that you should start calling it that). I believe this is the essence of the faux-dive establishment. It's a dingy little joint with a pool table and a bunch 'a chairs and a bar. It wasn't very hoppin' until a few of us came over from another place -- we stayed 'til last call and the bar tender was super-nice, chatting everyone up and being really friendly-like. Apparently you can get little pizzas there -- I saw someone eating one but unfortunately I can't taste with my eyes so I don't know how it tastes. 8 bux for a large: smelled good. Anyway, I really liked this place. I'll go back next time I am in Roscoe and I feel like ending the night in a chill fashion. Minus one star only because we couldn't find the fabulous "Tell Me When to Go" by the stellar E-40 on the jukebox. BUT... PRO TIP: At first it looks like there are no good songs on the jukebox, but if you touch "Super Song Selection", it takes you to a screen where you can retrieve a song by pretty much any group you want.

Good neighborhood bar where you have the good usual suspects. Beer, small Craft Beer selection, liquor, pool table, jukebox, snacks, and good bar tenders. Good people watching with locals and people from all sides of the city coming in here for a beer or two any given day or night.

After a long Sunday afternoon following a Cubs home game, when most neighborhood bars would be…read moreoverwhelmed and scrambling, Village Tap somehow still managed to deliver one of the best bar experiences in Roscoe Village. The day started off gloomy and gray, but as the clouds broke and the city transformed into a beautiful spring afternoon, the atmosphere inside Village Tap matched that same energy shift -- warm, lively, and welcoming. What truly makes this place stand out is the staff. Even while absolutely slammed with customers after another raucous Cubs post game crowd rolled through, Meg and Kevin never missed a beat. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and ability to stay accommodating under pressure was genuinely impressive. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and ability to stay accommodating under pressure was genuinely impressive. They made sure everyone felt taken care of, stayed on top of drinks and service, and somehow still kept the experience fun and relaxed despite the chaos around them. Kevin's witty banter and sense of humor add a personality to the bar that you just don't find anywhere around that area. It creates the kind of environment where regulars and first-timers alike instantly feel comfortable. Meanwhile, Meg handles the rush with incredible poise and attention to detail, making sure guests always feel valued and welcomed. Village Tap has always been a great neighborhood spot, but experiences like this are what separate good bars from truly memorable ones. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and even better people behind the bar. Even on one of their busiest, most understaffed days, Meg and Kevin proved exactly why this place continues to be a Roscoe Village favorite. My only gripe is The Golden Tee Cabinet. Whats a guy gotta do to get a recalibration on that system! Mid Range left to right putts always miss on the low side. Not sure what to do, but I will carry on...

Tried to listen to TikTok's advice, and they didn't lie- as I'm sure you'll read, the Chicken…read moreCaesar Wrap is good. Confirmed. But it's also huge and I cannot contemplate eating it alone, so I recommend begging a pal or partner to go halfsies with you (as shown.) You save your tummy and a few bucks (so long as they agree to split the bill, but details) Definitely busier on the weekends, especially during football season. Had to go up to the bar to order after wait for a bit. Be prepared to wait or not have over the top service on Saturdays and Sundays.

Over 100 years old, and it doesn't appear to have been updated much since then, but honestly that's…read morewhat makes this place authentic and the perfect classic Chicago Dive Bar. In the modern world of $20 cocktails, craft double imperial IPA's with names like "a pidgeon's nightmare", sometimes all you want is an affordable ice cold miller light, play some pool, and watch some College football on a massive TV. The clientele clearly come to this traditional watering hole to make new friends, strike up fun conversations, and maybe throw back a few whiskey neats along the way. Don't expect an "instagramable" neon sign to take a picture in front of, but you'll find a no-nonsense bartender who will get you a cold one and listen to your life story. Don't get me wrong, I love the vibrant stretch of new American dining in Roscoe village right next door, but sometimes simplicity is all you need.

Claims to be the oldest bar in Roscoe Village, so you have to take their word for it. If it…read moreactually isn't the oldest, it still looks like it though. Four Treys is a good old dive. Has a pool table and everything. The drinks are the main thing, and it's a good place to get away from crowds and not care about looking cool and stuff. A total neighborhood bar. It probably has the same group of regulars here almost daily. They won't turn you away just because you aren't from around here though. Always happy to take your money in return for a drink. It's about $6 for the cheapest stuff. Basically it's just a place to drink. There's some snacks like chips or pretzels. For sure it's not the cleanest but it's not a dump. It had simple entertainment like a pool table and some TVs that have been around for who knows. This is a popular place for darts and there's lots of tournaments.
