Grrr: Chicago's Weekly Bear Night

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.

Sunday nights at SoFo Tap belong to Bearaoke—grab the mic and take the stage for a night of big vocals, bold energy, and a crowd that's genuinely here for it. From country favorites to power ballads, anything goes as long as you bring the confidence. Hosted by Rhett Butlah, it's the kind of karaoke night where bears and bear enthusiasts come to sing, cheer each other on, and have a real good time.

Mondays don't have to feel like Mondays. Log off and reset your week at SoFo Tap with $5 You Call It drinks and 90s & 2000s music videos all night long. Free entry, 5pm to 2am every Monday — the comfort and nostalgia you need to shake off the workweek.
