So the first time I went was Thursday night. Little sketchy but good dive bar feel. I played the jukebox. I ordered the steak dinner surprisingly good. Overall 5 out of 5 experience Thursday.
I’m from out of state and just moved here. My luggage went missing at o hare and my license was in the luggage. So I reached out to our state dmv for a replacement copy. They issue out a temporary id in the meantime. That has name, address, and photo. I even also have my voters registration which reflects the same name age, date of birth and address as the id.
I tell you all This saying that Thursday I had zero issues getting in. The door guy reviewed the temporary id and let me in. Okay cool. I decided to go back the next night.
Two two door guys refused to accept LEGAL ID and one claimed he was the manager and was an absolute jerk. It felt discriminatory and he got mad that I called him out in discriminatory practices.
I’m willing to change my review if ownership reaches out but I’m disgusted and disappointed with the door staff.

I didn’t go for the food. I don’t live up there, hard to give an accurate review if you’re not of the area with other spots to review near by as well however, great atmosphere, tons of fun, lots of people, multiple bartenders when I went, wait wasn’t too bad for drinks, wasn’t really watching my spending so couldn’t comment on that either.

We went there at about 10pm and it was completely empty except for the people that work there. So that was wild but it picked up later and I can say that it was very chill and fun. There are lots of games you can play but some may cost. The food was delicious and if they got it they will make what drink you want. I would also say it’s pretty affordable also that they will check IDs at the front door so don’t forget it. Will go back again 10 out of 10 highly recommend.

Kudos to this place for such an excellent food and the choice of the music is correct for the vibes.

Came in for a quick visit and didn’t know what drink to order. The bartender (i believe her name was Tristine?) was incredibly helpful and friendly! She served me a delicious mixed drink! Great experience, thank you!

Took 20 minutes to order drinks. Another 30 to order food. Which never came. Then someone next door got pepper sprayed and it came in bar. We are ere all coughing. It took me shouting to get my money back for the food that never arrived. Rude, crass, completely clueless staff and management. Never ever go there

I could not recommend this place ever in my entire life. The drinks are awful and the bouncer made us wait in the rain for our uber. Horrible service and drinks.

Big City Tap is a solid spot to hit up if you’re looking for a lively night out in Lakeview. The place is spacious, with a cool dance floor and plenty of games to keep you entertained. I grabbed the Honkin’ Honey Wings and a Pit Stop Burger —both were on point. Spent around $35, which felt fair for the quality and portion sizes. The bartenders are friendly and keep the drinks flowing, making it a great place to hang late into the night. Definitely a spot I’ll be returning to.

Stopped by Big City Tap after a show at The Vic and spent about $35. Grabbed the Johnny Burger, a side of tots, and a $5 Stella pint. The burger was juicy, the tots crispy, and the beer was cold, perfect combo. The vibe was lively with a DJ spinning, and the staff was friendly. Great spot to keep the night going. Will definitely be back.

Weak drinks and 1 guy working a full bar and running food. If you’re not going to staff you’re not going to get returning customers
