"This neighborhood craft beer joint in Roscoe Village might give off sports bar vibes, but a look at the menu will reveal imports (Krombacher), legends (Evil Twin Brewing), and limited locals (Goose Island’s Bourbon County Brand Stout). Don’t miss the world-class beer garden out back. This spot has been going strong since 1992." - Adam Rothbarth

"If the staff goes to Restaurant Depot mid-service for more lettuce and tortillas because there was a run on their wraps (true story), it’s probably a good sign. The CCW at Village Tap lives up to its popularity. Structural integrity is taken seriously at this Roscoe Village bar—the wrap is lightly seared so the tortilla does a good job of holding in the crunchy lettuce, herby croutons, and grilled chicken. The dressing is excellent too, with a hint of garlic for some zing. You can order a flight of cookies from Mindy’s to go with it. Maybe they'll swing by her bakery if they run out of those, too." - veda kilaru

"One of your friends is hungry, another wants to watch the Cubs game, and you haven’t gotten any vitamin D since last weekend. Village Tap is the perfect neighborhood option for this scenario. It's a low-key bar with TVs up front, a nice all-season back patio, tables throughout the space, and a solid food menu filled with bar food staples (and one of the tastiest chicken Caesar wraps in the city). This Roscoe Village spot also has a $3 shot special every day, and a $7 flight of cookies from ." - Veda Kilaru

"Outdoor drinking is nothing new at this Roscoe Village beer garden. The team has enclosed the back patio to provide imbibers some relief from the elements." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
