Big City Tap, Chicago, Illinois Restaurant Details

Food:

Quite honestly, it's a dump. With that said, it's one of the most popular late night bars in the area and is always a blast after 2am.

Food:

Maybe I'm biased, but they have the best industry specials...and on my day off (Sunday). Also despite it being a late night place it has really clean and modern bathrooms.

Food:

Best bartenders and food love it

Food:

Yes, I have been here many more times than I'd like to admit. It is almost always after an extensive night of drinking that I don't want to see end so I inevitably end up waiting in some ridiculous line at 2am and pay between $5 - $10 to get into this hole. Obviously, everybody else in this bar is either as or more wasted than I am so there have been some events I have witnessed that some may refer to as traumatizing and others consider pure entertainment.

Keep in mind; this is a meat market with all the creepy folks on the prowl. So occasionally it's interesting to pull up a seat and watch them all go after each other on the dance floor. Or there is always the inevitable moron fight that tends to get physical when one guy comments on how drunk another guy's lady is. That's right; I've seen this happen here more than once.

Definitely the only good thing about this place is the fact that you can drink till 5am, but don't even attempt to step foot in here unless you are already half in the bag. I assure you without a buzz, you will not be able to find one single thing about this bar amusing or entertaining.

Food:

Great service, $4 nachos on Saturday night (that were actually quite tasty - plenty of cheese, sour cream, and guac), reliably good pours, and a fun dance floor. Check it out for a weekend experience.
