Bear Trap

Wednesday nights at SoFo Tap belong to the bears who show up for trivia, cheap drinks, and the chance to win prizes. It's the kind of low-key, unpretentious vibe that makes a neighborhood bar feel like home — smart questions, good company, and the kind of crowd that actually knows how to have fun without taking itself too seriously.

Chicago's weekly bear night where the big, the hairy, and the ones who love them come together for a no-cover, no-attitude good time. Fridays at SoFo Tap from 9pm to 2am—the kind of neighborhood spot that gets what community actually means.

Saturday afternoons at SoFo Tap belong to the pups and their people. Bring your dog, grab a good drink, and settle into the kind of easy, low-key vibe that makes weekend hangouts actually worth getting out for. Free treats for the dogs, cheap drinks for you, and a crowd that gets it.

Free food, big beats, and a packed patio full of hot bears—Patio Beef: Pride is SoFo Tap's Pride Sunday celebration that actually delivers. Moose the DJ is spinning, the energy is real, and this is exactly the kind of crowd you want to spend the afternoon with. Three to eight PM on the patio.

Sunday nights at SoFo Tap belong to the bears who come to grab the mic and let loose.

Monday nights at SoFo Tap mean cheap drinks, nostalgia, and a room full of people who get it.

Five bucks gets you a drink and a reason to stick around past 5pm.
