Speakeasy
Established in 2019, Osito’s Tap is a “speakeasy” style bar focused on the art of craft spirts, craft beer & craft cocktails. Located in the heart of the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago, our community oriented bar brings a modern Latin flair to a classic Chicago vibe. Once home to a Bohemian bar in the early 1900’s for Czech immigrants, this historic Grey-stone building was the front to an underground bookie joint. We pay homage to our community’s past by blending our neighborhoods rich history with Little Village’s current Latino culture. Here at Osito’s Tap, we aim to give our customers a unique and interactive experience filled with exotic and rare drinks by incorporating our values of education, community, inclusiveness and enjoyment.

    Maybe we caught them on an off day? We understand there was an event that day, but we waited a really long time for our food and honestly, it wasn't great. Not terrible, but not worth the wait. The molletes were small and underwhelming, my scrambled eggs were very undercooked, and the omelette was just...meh. The drinks were great though, so maybe we'd return just for drinks, but eat elsewhere.

    All of the staff is incredibly friendly, making the low-lit ambience even warmer. Everyone openly shared recommendations and the owner even swung by with a quick story and background on the brand and recipes. Great experience & loved being able to try new things like some of those spicy mezcal cocktail concoctions & crickets on our tlayuda appetizer.

    The service and drinks were great! My only complaint was that although the music was good it was way too loud for such a small place, we could barely talk to each other or hear the waitress. Once they lowered the volume a little it was perfect.

    They ran out of beef and had nothing to offer but wings. Couldn’t order anything from the menu that consisted of having something other than wings. Other than that, ambiance was nice but I would recommend better options and service as it relates to notifying customers when they’re out of specific food items before taking order. We were also kind of rushed along once we were notified that there were only wings available. We paid for our drinks and we’re there for about half an hour and I’d say we had two different people come over and ask if we weee good or wanted another round at least 5 or more times. Which to me, appeared like we were being hurried out. Needless to say, I won’t be back and probably wouldn’t recommend to anyone that I know.

    Great restaurant with a speakeasy vibe and it’s attached to one of the best if not the best liquor stores for tequila in the US. We arrived when they opened and the service started out a little slow, but our waitress was extremely helpful, nice and very knowledgeable with specialty drinks and the food menu. The food took longer then normal to arrive, but well worth the wait, from presentation to ingredients and taste. We will definitely go back when in the area and would even go out of our way. Thanks Chad and Shannon

    They don’t have a menu.. very few selections. Service was bad . We were the first patrons of the night and they brought our meals first than the appetizer. We told waitress appetizer no longer needed but she still charged us. We paid it, didn’t feel like arguing just wanted out

    Osito's TapResponded on January 24, 2022Good evening, we're so sorry you didn't enjoy your visit. However we do have a menu, it's just a QR code on each table which you can view on your phone. This is due to the on going pandemic. If you ever have an issue with an item or would like to have it removed form your bill because you no longer wanted it. Please don't hesitate to ask and we will gladly remove it. We don't argue with our customers and are always willing to help.
