Speakeasy

Neighbourhood gem
Great for creative cocktails
Lively

Established in 2019, Osito’s Tap is a “speakeasy” style bar focused on the art of craft spirts, craft beer & craft cocktails. Located in the heart of the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago, our community oriented bar brings a modern Latin flair to a classic Chicago vibe. Once home to a Bohemian bar in the early 1900’s for Czech immigrants, this historic Grey-stone building was the front to an underground bookie joint. We pay homage to our community’s past by blending our neighborhoods rich history with Little Village’s current Latino culture. Here at Osito’s Tap, we aim to give our customers a unique and interactive experience filled with exotic and rare drinks by incorporating our values of education, community, inclusiveness and enjoyment.

Our server, Salvador, was fabulous! We had such an amazing time with him crafting some amazing brunch cocktails the likes of which I have NEVER tried before and tasted incredible. My mother and my best friend were with me and both loved it here. Though the brunch options are limited, we each tried something different and everything we ordered was big-portioned and delicious. I finished every bite! We had the entire place to ourselves almost the entire brunch which was surprising. The ambiance is so nice that it should be much busier. It is also kept immaculate - the bathrooms are VERY clean and well-stocked. Overall, this is a real hidden gem. Highly recommended - everyone has to try this place at least once.
