We had brunch on the patio for Father's Day and it was so great. Delicious food, fun atmosphere -- love how the patio is decorated -- and great service. We all had either the chilaquiles or the lemon poppyseed pancakes and would highly recommend either dish. We'll definitely be back! read more

I was excited to visit Ositos. The lovely bartender mentioned that it was "Happy Hour". Which immediately bought so much excitement at that moment after having a terrible day at work. I then proceeded to have a few beers and when I asked for my tab there was no discount. The bartender needed to get approval from the manager which there was no manager at the moment. She mentioned that it was only 10% off beers. Are you fucking kidding so you get $0.90 cents off a $9 or $0.40 off a $4 beer? I could have saved $2.70 on 3 beers, but I didn't because there was no manager. I don't know if the 10% off was more of an insult or not getting the discount at all. There are better places outside of LV with better Happy Hour prices. I end my review by saying "Live every hour like it's happy hour, but anywhere else except Ositos." read more

Start with the good.... The environment was awesome last night, music was loud enough to listen and enjoy but not loud to annoy. Parking was also a big plus. Now the bad.... drinks where "cheaply" made. We sat at bar and watched bartenders make drinks with what looked like less than full measuring cup! While we sat at bar for maybe 1 hour, 2 orders where retuned because they tasted like nothing but juice. One of those instances bartender with short hair and tattoo on neck got very upset!!! For the prices y'all should not make weak drink my opinion... probably won't return! Update - she had a feather on neck! She's in your pics on FB.... thanks for reply thou read more

Such a cool spot. A speakeasy hidden in the back of Moreno's Liquors. Great beer selection (think Bourbon County Stout and varietals) and a tasty lineup of Mexican-inspired cocktails. My new favorite watering hole in Chicago. read more

Osito's Tap - Menu - Speakeasies Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I miss Osito's tap! Was there for the private opening and only a handful of times since and need this spot to open back up again. Atmosphere is trendy, intimate, and friendly. It's undoubtedly one of my new hot spots in the city. Manager Denisse is on point! Staff is very knowledgeable and the drinks are all well crafted. My favorite drink is their spin on The Last Word! It's a perfectly well balanced Tequila based drink with this Rosemary infusion with Denisse's recommendation! The crowd in there is really down to earth too which so enjoy. Can't wait to go back read more

Friendly staff, good music, great ambience, amazing cocktails - do recommend, especially if you're looking for some new foods to try!

This is a great spot in a great neighborhood Little Village. My new favorite drink. La Mula! read more

One of our favorite spots for date night or gathering w friends, family. cocktail menu & creative yummy drinks are the best. Staff is friendly & attentive, the lounge is comforting & homey, love everything about Osito's read more

Little Village resident right here and I was so excited for this place since it was first announced. I think it's great what the Moreno family is doing for the neighborhood, but I think they need to REALLY consider the living wage in the neighborhood. The residents are never going to come here for $15 cocktails. I tried some cocktails during Brewrachos and no doubt they're good, no doubt they're using top shelf liquor--I get all that. But why come here when you can go get great cocktails in the surrounding neighborhoods that do just the same for less money? You're getting downtown drink prices here without the view. For New Year's, they sold $50 (gen admission)-$150 (3 cocktails, buffet, and midnight champagne) tickets. Maria's Bridgeport just a few miles south had free admission and very inexpensive VERY WELL crafted drinks. Now, that's a neighborhood bar. Let me remind you that Moreno's received an neighborhood opportunity fund to bring Osito's Tap to fruition. They literally could not have done this without the grant and now they are setting up menu's with ridiculously priced drinks. I live a mile away and if i'm going to drink those type of priced drinks, you better bet I'm not coming to sit here. read more

I went a few weeks back in early December and really enjoyed the new gem in the neighborhood. The craft cocktails were amazing along with their presentation. Regarding my experience, service on the drinks can be slightly improved. We had a table and had to get our drinks at the bar which wasn't communicated to us. I'm sure that no longer is the case since it was way back now. I will state, though, that as a little village resident, this is that bar the neighborhood has been waiting for which i will gladly support. Take all my money Osito's! I look forward to going back on a date night there. read more

I am definitely a fan and supporter of this place. The place is so cute and comfy, the bartender who served me was a gem and the cocktail was delicious. I'm so glad to have it so close to home. read more

I've been to this place a few times and things went well. We always sit at the bar and to be honest the bartenders are a bit neglectful. We always had to call on them for a refill. This past weekend on Friday we went again, since we always sit at the bar, we walked towards the bar. Right as we were going to sit one of the servers a female asked if we had reservations, clearly seeing us pulling a stool out to sit at the bar. I asked if we needed reservations for the bar and she just turned around and walked away. She wasn't very approachable and I brushed it off cause she looks very young. But as the night went on. We waited a long while to get a refill. Make bartender was playing wrestling with the young girl behind the bar. The female bartender was talking to a customer for a long time. So unprofessional to be horse-playing while on the clock, in front of customers and not actually doing your job. More than likely we will not be returning read more

Dropped by for some drinks with some friends and our server, Misa was great! He made sure that we had everything we needed and even took a second to talk with us. Thank you!!!! read more

Misa was such a great waiter for us. Drinks came out fast and he gave us a great experience! Will definitely come back!!

We went a few weekends ago to check this new gem in the neighborhood and loved it. The drinks were very good and on point. Environment is friendly. We will return. read more

Thank you for a wonderful night out. Our cocktails were delicious and the food was as well. My first drink was the LaReina, the mezcal was perfectly balanced. The owner and manager checked on us a few times. Can't wait to come back. read more

Came here with a group of 6 hoteliers. it's a very nice spot! I had the michelada and it wasn't my favorite (it actually made my stomach hurt), it could be the actual mix itself. Service was slow, the bartender with glasses actually made us order across the bar when we had a table instead of her walking over to our table to take our order, she made us retrieve the drinks at the bar too. She really didn't introduce the concept of the bar to us when we tried asking her questions she just walked away. It's not a speakeasy feeling at all since the side door is the entrance with an actual sign of the place. Hopefully they improve the service because it's a really nice new spot in the neighborhood. We were really excited to check it out, but left after the first round of cocktails because of the service. We might check it out on a busier weekend few months from it's opening and hopefully we can also meet Osito the famous Chihuahua! 5 stars because of Osito and how bougie the bar looks. Hopefully next time you guys have a new in-house Michelada mix instead of serving Big Mich mix which is not good. Overall is a cool neighborhood bar! read more

Osito's Tap - This is a mock cocktail no alcohol - Speakeasies Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great bar for the neighborhood.. classy af! Mixed drink are also good . My favorite is the obscuro list a Mexican take to the old fashion .

As a local i love bringing outside people into my neighborhood to such a dope cantina.

This place is a hidden gem in Little Village. I am so proud that our community has such a classy place in a blue collar Latino community. Their vibe, atmosphere, drinks, service, knowledge is top notch! It is refreshing to see investment like this in a real Chicago neighborhood. I been to bars from River North to Wrigleyville to Bucktown/Wicker Park to Lincoln Park and Osito's can hold their own with the best of them. Happy to see the owner didn't "cheap it out" because is in the heart of a working class neighborhood. I also fell in love with the hospitality- every time I go to this place I discover a new spirit. Denisse- bar manager always shows me something new (her attention to guest and detail is impeccable). It's not the same old you can expect anywhere. My favorite drink is Last Words... Yummy but all their drinks have an underline complexity that balances my thirst every time. I really miss it now that is closed due to the Covid-19 outbreak but I am doing what I can to support. Please everyone get out and buy one of their cocktail kits to go. Bring that craft cocktail experience home. Of course is not the same as having a pro mixing your drink, but is the support we can provide to ensure Osito's open their doors after we overcome this crisis. And we are going to need a good drink to celebrate being social again! read more

We had the most wonderful brunch at Osito's. Santana, our waiter/bartender was friendly, engaging, and so helpful. Nearly everything on the brunch menu was both gluten free and delicious. I especially recommend the blue corn pancakes topped with freshly made apple compote and served with real maple syrup. The cocktails were pure heaven- my El Weon Weon was carefully crafted with love- both beautiful to look at and oh so tasty. The tartness of the rhubarb liqueur and the acidity of the shrub really balanced it and brought it to life and the trakal toronja liqueur is a unique and yummy spirit you won't find anywhere else. Make a point of tasting a couple of the locally distilled tequilas while you are there. Again, Santana was amazing in both his suggestions and detailed information about the 2 very different and fabulous tequilas we sampled. We sat outside, which was perfect on a sunny Sunday afternoon; but the indoor space is warm and inviting, with top notch decor. Even the bathrooms are lovely. Can't say enough good things about this gem of a place! And don't forget to head next door to Moreno's after you dine so that you can bring home some of that rare craft tequila for later... read more

Server had a distaste in us seating ourselves after 10 mins of us waiting during a dead Sunday night. "Can I get you a drink I guess" bruh you guess? And then said "I don't go in your house and seat myself" well my house isn't a business and as this being a business of course I'm going to seat myself. read more

This tap is connected to Moreno's Liquors next door. The owner and staff are great. Food menu is limited, but everything we had was delicious. They have a large mezcal selection. Nice outdoor seating area. read more

First visit here and don't ever plan on ever coming back. My group and I waited a very long time for anyone to seat us. After sometime we decided to take a seat outside on the patio and once Misa saw us he asked if we had anyone seat us or if someone ordered drinks. We explained no one came to attend to us so we took a seat out here and his quick response was "come on guys I wouldn't go to your house and do that." Well this is a business and the professional thing to do is be apologetic to the fact no one greeted us and happily serve the guests. In addition to his attitude he was not attentive throughout the night and charged us for drinks he explained they did not have available. When we brought up to him he brushed it off and said "yeah I know I know." So disgusted with how everything was handled tonight. read more

So my husband had mention that he saw on social media from a friend that this place was good. He said it showed music a big crpwd and plates of food look good. I heard him out and every weekend he would say let's try it and I was like we will but kept procrastinating until I gave in 01/06/23 we went around 7 it was pretty empty we sat in a booth waiting for someone to ask us what we wanted to start with.Nobody came until I flagged this young girl that stood by the bartender talking away .she came over and asked us what we wanted to drink and we ordered.30 min must of passed and me and my husband were looking at her trying to see if it would come out of her to come and ask and nothing finally my husband sees the menu over and over and is like let's leave there isn't much to choose from menu ,I said well we are here let's try it so you. Can say you tried it.So finally a gentlemen comes takes our order after a long while and we very dissapointed no forks were brought no salt or pepper so we had to keep asking and interrupting the girl that was apparently hypnotized by the bartender and it was just very weird that nobody was on top of it. I would never go back we left and would not recommend this to anyone. read more

Overall a great experience! I had dinner on the patio, food and drinks are delicious. They also have excellent service as well.

Great drinks, great atmosphere. Glad to have this place in Little Village. Parking on site which is always nice. Nice to have some drinks then stop by Moreno's and take some stuff home. read more

Please double check your bill when they swipe your card! Went with my cousin had a good time until we were ready to check out asked for the bill, it was about $40 gave the manager our card and when it came back for us to sign she had the nerve to add a appetizer to our final check thinking we wouldn't notice. read more

This place is very unique and different something new that this neighborhood needed I've known the owner for quiet some time now.
