Tried to listen to TikTok's advice, and they didn't lie- as I'm sure you'll read, the Chicken Caesar 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. read more

Village Tap - The Wrap - Pubs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great Roscoe Village bar. On a Saturday at about 1pm it was full but not packed, was able to snag a table inside easily. As popular as the Cesar wraps have been in the city, I had to try this one. At $20, I'd say the price is a little steep for what you're getting. I will say they didn't skimp on chicken so I can appreciate that. Service was pretty standard, good bar vibe on the inside. read more

The chicken Caesar wrap hype is real! Let's be clear, this is well made and exactly what you'd want this to be. So many places don't get it right but they do here. Not too saucy, big portions, right balance of chicken, lettuce, croutons, and caesar dressing. Doesn't fall apart on you either! Served with fries that are tasty and work with it! Service was great and friendly! I prefer the back room that has a few TVs for games but isn't as loud as the main bar area. Free parking on Roscoe! Cabernet Sauvignon was nice! Excited to come back and try more food. read more

The Chicken Cesar wrap was delicious! A huge portion that could have been shared. While a big portion it could use more chicken. I like that the chicken was grilled not friend/breaded. The French fries were also good with a nice crisp and salty flavor. Thankfully we got corn dogs to start as service was slow, a table that sat after us got food before us. The outside patio area is great! read more

A pub with good city vibe in heart of Roscoe Village. Like this place, the look and feel and if I lived closer would go in at times for a beer at the bar and catch one of the games. Staff are nice and friendly. The food selection is decent, likely something on there for everyone. As far as the food, and not just from this visit but from other times there, average. Well, maybe a bit better than average but not as good as it could be. Portion sizes are good, it's just the taste. My burger was ok. Fries were....ok. So I score it a 4 of 5 with the feel and service being better than the grub. read more

The chicken Caesar wrap and a stellar beer menu is all you need. There's more table seating in the back (even heated in winter). It's a little overpriced but I crave this wrap and it's a great neighborhood spot to hop into. read more

I want to start by saying this review is not a reflection of Village Tap overall. I've consistently had great experiences with the food, service, and atmosphere. However, our experience on Sunday evening from 7:00 to 8:30 pm with bartender Meg R. was unacceptable. We were seated at a standard table that typically includes server service, not at the bar, yet were told we needed to get up and place all food and drink orders at the bar ourselves. This was confusing and inconsistent with the usual experience. When we asked a simple clarifying question about how our food would be delivered, the response was dismissive and condescending. After we closed out and left a 15% tip on an $84 bill, which felt appropriate given we were not receiving table service, she approached our table to confront us about the tip. This was highly inappropriate, unprofessional, and made us extremely uncomfortable. We've always enjoyed Village Tap, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. This interaction did not reflect the level of service we've come to expect, and we hope it is taken seriously. read more

After a long Sunday afternoon following a Cubs home game, when most neighborhood bars would be overwhelmed 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... read more

I have been to the village tap many times before for some drinks with friends.... But for some reason I had never gotten food?! Clearly, huge misstep on my end. When my friends told me this was the best chicken ceasar wrap in the city- I almost didn't believe them. But BOY was I wrong.... I am still dreaming of this wrap weeks later.... paired with a crisp cool allagash white- absolute perfection! Also I can't go without mentioning the back patio... that has a retractable roof! I can't find anything that Village Tap is missing- great ambiance, neighborhood bar, with great food. Cannot be beat! read more

Heard good reviews, but it didn't live up to the expectations. Service was very slow and the cheese burger wasn't very flavorful. The $3 mystery was the worst Tequilla I've ever had (but not mad about that because it was only $3 and knew what we were getting ourselves into!) I think just going for drinks would be better. read more

I would come here for a bar, specifically for a watching sports! But as a restaurant, I can't score higher than a 3.5. First off, we were underwhelmed by the Chicken Caesar Wrap - there was very little chicken and there was a lot of dressing (causing it to be watery) yet lack of flavor. My favorite item we tried was the Zucchini Fries, they were big chunks of zucchini and nicely battered. Lastly, we were underwhelmed by the service; we had to ask to order AND to pay the check, and asked for water refills multiple times. Not that we would have tipped lower, but in my opinion it's weird to have the default tip options be 20%, 25%, and 30%, especially when you're not known for or proving to have exemplary service. read more

Stopped by Village Tap on a Saturday night while in Roscoe Village, looking for some casual food and drinks. It was lively when we arrived, but we managed to snag a table, which was dope! The service was impressively quick, the vibes were great, and the staff was super friendly. Portions for both food and drinks were generous, which is always a win! We had heard rave reviews about their chicken Caesar wrap which we heard was one of the best in the city and it absolutely lived up to the hype. It was amazing! If you're a chicken casear wrap lover this is a must try! Can't wait to return in the summer and check out the back patio for some relaxed outdoor drinking vibes. This spot is a gem in Roscoe Village! read more

My main goal in visiting this spot, was to try the highly touted Chicken Caesar Wrap. Although it was delicious, it wasn't my favorite bite of the night. The incredible wings, lamb sliders and cheese curds upstaged the CCW. We sat at the bar, and our bartender was great. The kitchen goofed and he took care of it promptly. Overall a low key and delicious spot. I will be back! read more

Food was great, went for a happy hour type situation with a friend. We got some beers, nachos, and cheese curds. The nachos were standout, fully loaded with toppings, it was almost like we needed more chips to finish which is a rarity. Super well made. The cheese curds were great too, but damn those nachos. Amazing beer selection, with reasonable pricing. Service was great, kind, and efficient. read more

I threw my birthday and going away party at Village Tap, there were about 25 of us and we reserved 4 tables on their heated & tented patio. I was nervous about whether it would be too cold since it was January but it was perfect a perfect space for my group. We ordered the best chicken caeser salad wraps in the city and cheese curds. Jeff & Village Tap were so easy and amazing to work with. Thank you to Annie who took such good care of us! I'll miss this place when I move, but I'll be back! read more

Finding myself in Chicago unexpectedly on NYE (12/31/24), I felt comfortable dining here alone. I went early around 5pm and sat at the bar. The food was great as were the beer selections. I had the full order of short rib nachos with plenty left over for the next day. They were outstanding! I do have to say that upon arrival, the female bartender ignored me for far too long while she was chatting with regulars sitting at the bar a couple of seats over. She was sort of OK otherwise once she acknowledged me ten or fifteen minutes later, but her rudeness was inexcusable. She was also drinking shots while working the bar. Fortunately, a gentleman working the bar was much nicer and made me feel welcome later during my time there. Despite the female bartender, I really enjoyed the place, have recommended it to others and definitely look forward to going again. They do have really good food and a cozy atmosphere, especially on a cold winter night. read more

I went here in a Friday night around 5:30. It was not too crowded, me and my family if 3 were able to sit on the heated patio. Great beer menu, kid friendly, french fries are hand cut style unclear if they are freshly cut, and the ambiance gives neighborhood dive with strollers. Take that how you would like, I was a fan as a person with a child. I had to come here because I am a CCSW (Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap) aficionado and people brag about it. I was not unimpressed but also was not overly impressed, it's a good sandwich. It didn't have croutons, hardly any parm cheese, and the Caesar dressing was sweet. It was romaine lettuce, chicken was good, but the sweetness of the dressing was a turn off. Overall a 6/10 for the CCSW. They also have a set of hot sauces, most of them were empty but the thought was there. Definitely somewhere to try. They have a big pretzel that comes with pimento cheese which also didn't hit, but it was good. Def good for families. read more

Yes, the Chicken Caesar Wrap met the hype. Will go back for it, but nothing else to write home about, other than the company you're keeping while there I suppose. read more

Solid neighborhood gastropub/bar with an excellent patio space. I would love to come here in the summer to check it out, but for a winter vibe, I was very happy here. Wings and nachos were delicious, and so were the beers! The waitress we had was also very friendly and attentive. I'd come back if I find myself in the Roscoe Village area. Will have to try their other food! read more

Fun and low key spot in Roscoe. Attentive service and a wonderful Cesar salad wrap. Enjoyed their back room with TVs.

Awesome neighborhood bar in Roscoe! My wife and daughter wanted to visit a bookstore, so my son and I visited here just two doors down. It was pretty busy for 3 pm, but we got a hi top table and placed our orders right away. We had a couple of Old Styles, and I tried the Krombacher pilsner. It was the beer of the month and very good. My wife and daughter joined us about an hour later and had a couple of drinks. This seemed to be a less expensive bar than most we visited in Chicago. That's always a good thing! Service was outstanding! I can't get over these beautiful Chicago bars. Long and narrow. Awesome architecture. Perfect setup here at Village Tap! Will definitely try and make it back here on our next visit to Chicago. read more

I would perform manual labor for their chicken Caesar wrap. Beer of the month is a good deal. Good spot for catching a game. Friendly vibes.

Village tap is my go-to bar in Roscoe Village for a casual vibe with a friendly neighborhood feel. They are known for their selection of craft beers on tap. They always have a good selection that is rotated regularly. They also have a a large selection of tequilas and mezcals with signature tequila cocktails on their menu. Their food is also solid. The menu isn't huge, but has everything you would expect from a bar menu with a few unique items. I highly recommend the nachos, shrimp tacos, and cajun chicken sandwich. They have a large outdoor patio and have been making upgrades/renovations to it throughout the year. I've gotten to know many of the staff members. All are great. I never experience anything less than quick, friendly services. Highly recommend! read more

My love and I have enjoyed our couple of visits to Village Tap in Roscoe Village. The selection of craft beers is good, and it's a convenient spot to stop by on your way to dinner elsewhere, though they do serve food here too. Nice to drink out of glasses that rock the Chicago flag design theme. We did not visit the beer garden but supposedly it is open all seasons. Check out the art on the walls too (John Lennon!). read more

Village Tap is Chicago's greatest and most quintessential neighborhood bar. From families enjoying a beautiful afternoon in the beer garden, a group piling in for a post softball-league drink, or just a night when you've been working from home and need to get out for one by yourself, EVERYONE can feel welcome at the Village Tap. I recently visited after 8 years living in Portland, OR, and all the good vibes of the Tap came rushing back. Special shout out to our AMAZING server, whose name I never got, but was wearing a gold necklace with a letter "M" medallion. She is a total boss and has my whole heart. Go to Village Tap and feel instantly like you're home. read more

Second time coming here and the service is horrible. They see you sit down and don't bother to come to you until you ask and even then they can be rude.

It also smells weird occasionally while you wait for your food read more

I've visited the Tap a number of times - both for just random pop-ins and also to watch sporting events. No matter the reason, we've always had a great time!

They have a great beer selection and food is solid. Highly recommend the cheese curds! read more
