Grrr: Chicago's Weekly Bear Night

Every Wednesday, the bear crew gathers at the SoFo Tap for two hours of trivia that actually tests your brain. Grab your team, sharpen your pencils, and compete for prizes—whether you're a nerd, a bear, or just someone who likes winning. Free to play, first come first served, and way more fun than it has any right to be.

The second Thursday of every month, bears and their friends gather at SoFo Tap for a relaxed social that's exactly what the name promises — good drinks, good company, and a room full of people who actually want to be there. Five to nine, no pretense, just a chance to connect and unwind with your people.

Chicago's weekly bear night where the big, the hairy, and the ones who love them come together for a genuinely welcoming vibe. No cover, no attitude—just a packed dance floor at SoFo Tap every Friday from 9pm to 2am. This is the bear community's reliable home base, the kind of place where you actually belong.

Saturday afternoons at SoFo Tap belong to the pups and their people—a weekly dog-friendly hangout where you can bring your best friend, grab a good drink, and settle in for a few hours of easy, genuine fun. Free treats for the dogs, cheap drinks for you, and a crowd that actually gets why this matters.

90s and 2000s throwback party energy takes over SoFo Tap with a full Pledge Week edition — think campus chaos, party anthems, and everyone dressed to the theme. Grab your crew, dress the part, and get ready for a high-energy night of nostalgia and pure frat-night fantasy. DJ Bearbie behind the decks.

Free hot dogs, cold drinks, and an easy Sunday hang at SoFo Tap. Every Sunday from noon to 3pm, it's the kind of low-key afternoon that keeps people coming back — no fuss, just good food and good company. Stop by, grab a bite, and settle in.
