Doggy Days

Wednesday nights at the SoFo Tap belong to the bears who show up for trivia, cheap drinks, and the chance to win 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes—plus new raffles every week. Hosted by bartender Thomas, it's the kind of low-key, reliably fun thing that keeps a neighborhood bar feeling like home.

Chicago's weekly bear night where the big, the hairy, and the ones who love them come together for a no-cover, no-attitude Friday night at SoFo Tap. Free entry, strong drinks, and a room full of bears and their admirers — exactly what a neighborhood bear bar does best.

The bears are throwing a toga party, and it's going to be legendary. Purple drapes, classical vibes, and a dance floor packed with guys ready to have a good time. DJ Bearbie's spinning all night long—this is the kind of Saturday that starts at 9pm and doesn't stop until 3am.

Free hot dogs, cold drinks, and an easy Sunday hang at the SoFo Tap. Every Sunday from noon to 3pm, this neighborhood bear bar keeps it simple—stop by, grab a bite, and settle in for the afternoon with the regulars and friends.

Sunday nights at SoFo Tap belong to Bearaoke—grab the mic, take the stage, and belt it out in front of a crowd that's absolutely here for it. Country favorites, power ballads, show tunes, whatever's in your heart: just bring the confidence and the vocals. Hosted by Rhett Butlah. Free entry. Sundays 9pm–1am.

Monday nights at SoFo Tap get a serious upgrade—cheap drinks ($5 call it drinks), music videos from the 90s and 00s, and a room full of people who get that the start of the week doesn't have to feel like a drag. Hosted by Danny, this is the kind of low-key, fun vibe that makes you actually want to show up on a Monday.
