    Corn dogs
    Jenna K.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Placed is pretty packed with locals when I went and there is a lot of festive decorations and this was during lunch. Service was okay and food was decent. Took a while for to get my food though.

    C cheese burger
    Casey W.

    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.

    Caesar Wrap and Zucchini Fries
    Ariel S.

    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.

    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!

    The famous CCW!!

    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!

    Espresso martini, high life

    My favorite espresso martini I've had. Cheers to the bartender. Atmosphere is very fun. I like the outside back seating area a lot. Service is very nice and nice food prices!!

    Nachos
    Erin B.

    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.

    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!

This restaurant is only available for a limited time through the summer months of 2024. We were fortunate to attend an After Party Popup sponsored by Motorshucker with complimentary food samples and wine from Regalis & Cream. We were able to divulge in some yummy caviar (Regalis Ostera Noir) and oysters. In addition to some lite bites of salami, meats, cheeses and peppers. These all came from Regalis and were delicious. I would definitely like to try their full size charcuterie board this summer. I may even try to order some charcuterie meats and cheeses from Regalis. They were premium quality. LTO also had for purchase their full menu. We ordered the Catfish Po Boy and Kettle Chips. Very impressed with this sandwich. They did a good job of frying the fish and the hoagie bread was perfect. The kettle chips compliment the sandwich. The Raventos i Blanc was the favorite wine tasted on this occasion. Guild Row itself is very cute co-working space. Lots of tables, couches and comfy areas to work. This space serves also as a social club. I could see how combining the two are a perfect pair. The members only lounge had a full service bar: liquor, wine, and beer. Our evening was awesome. We enjoyed the sounds of the live music, the divine smells coming from the fire pit. Would definitely consider a membership as a person that WFH and will be on the look out for more opportunities to visit LTO (no membership needed).

    Hopleaf Bar is hands down one of our favorite spots for dinner and drink in all of Chicago!…read more One key to a successful dinning experience at Hopleaf is knowing the three different spaces to engage. When you first walk in, you have to show your ID since this is an adults-only bar establishment. (1) You can then choose to sit in the front bar area, if you want a full menu, but use the bar for ordering service. (2) If you keep walking through the front bar area, you reach the host stand at the top of the ramp. This is where you can put your name in to sit in the main dining room, upstairs, or outside. (3) However, you can also walk through to the left of the host stand to another bar area that has full menus, but bar service for ordering. This is our preferred spot because we can often find a seat and order with the bar. Do note that, during busy times, part of this bar area is managed by the host stand and will be labeled as such. The extensive beer menu is our favorite. We have our favorite food items, so all our decision making revolves around which beer we will get. They always have a bit of everything style-wise, from all over the world, but with a local-brewery focus. Seasonal emphasis is also taken into consideration when they curate the beer list. It is always rotating and we love it! Beers are served in the recommended glasses from the breweries. It's a great drinking experience from start to finish! Our food orders are eternally set: I get the Nueske Ham sandwich with fries and aioli. My husband gets the Reuben sandwich with fries and aioli. This meal is so perfect we'll probably never get anything different, despite the menu being delicious across the board. The wildest we get is sometimes splitting the two sandwiches. No reason to mess with a good thing! Other notable great things about Hopleaf: (1) Kind, knowledgeable, and professional staff. (2) Reasonable prices for high quality and great variety products. (3) Clean Belgian Bar decor/vibe with lots of space for folks to enjoy their time. (4) They are open late and serve food late. Thank you for being an amazing local spot, Hopleaf! We'll see you soon!

    Simply, all around excellent!…read more This was one of those cases where I stopped in, started a review, and then it sat in my drafts collecting dust. Thus, a return visit was a must! Primarily because I genuinely enjoyed it, and secondarily because I enjoy writing. Hopleaf boasts a tremendous and awesome beer list! It's truly hard to do it justice in a review. I will say they offer a wide variety of different kinds, origins, styles, bottle versus draft, and so on. For those who aren't beer lovers, there are cocktails, ciders, and more! For food, I was able to try both the Pork Belly and the Slagel Burger. The pork belly was much better than I expected! The exterior was delightfully roasted, and the interior was soft and savory with a good balance between meaty and fatty bits. The pork was well-sauced, and the accompanying accoutrements were similarly fantastic, helping to round out the pork, and adding freshness. On my first visit, my main memory of the burger was a very high salt level. However, this appears to have been addressed on my second visit. Now, is it the best burger in the city? No. However, it is excellent in its own right. The smashed patties have good flavor and a proper char around the edges. The vegetables are present but not so overwhelming that it becomes a hard-to-eat salad, and finally, it is delightfully cheesy! Where service is concerned, the bar staff were friendly and welcoming. They took great care of me and other patrons approaching the bar. Food came out in a reasonable timeframe, especially for items cooked to order. In terms of their vibe, I feel as though the best way I can describe it is to say it's a larger, elevated dive bar. It isn't cramped or dark, and there's plenty of space. At the same time, it isn't at all uppity and preserves that neighborhood establishment feel (though I would certainly go across town to visit on occasion). Finally, regarding value, when the bill came, I felt the amount due was more than reasonable considering the quality of food, beers, and service I received. Thus, while I am generally not a big beer drinker (I'm more of a spirits/cocktails person), I'm not totally against printing out their beer menu and crossing out items as I try them. That is to say, I look forward to coming back again and again.
