Tiny Tapp & Cafe - Review - Loop - Chicago - The Infatuation

"For a place that doesn’t actually have Happy Hour deals, Tiny Tapp attracts a Happy Hour crowd like Drake to a rap beef. It’s open on the weekends too, with people stopping for breakfast sandwiches and coffee before noon, but this popular Riverwalk bar is truly the unofficial summertime gathering place of people who work in the area. Be prepared to balance a beer and a basket of surprisingly tasty barbacoa nachos while standing—or wait at least 45 minutes for a table—if you visit during the week. But the (occasionally live) music is fun, and you can pass the time waiting in line for a summery cocktail by befriending people from other companies also complaining about their boss. Like most places on the Riverwalk, you’re not coming here for a meal. But when you’re five mojitos deep and on hour two of complaining, the slightly better-than-expected bar food—like a pair of salty, buttery soft pretzels, or a decent smashburger—will get the job done. photo credit: Kim Kovacik photo credit: Veda Kilaru" - Veda Kilaru
