GRRR: Chicago's Weekly Bear Night

Weekly trivia night built for bears and their people — think geeky questions, competitive teams, and the kind of crowd that actually knows their stuff. First, second, and third place prizes keep things fun, plus new raffles every week. Wednesdays 8-10pm at the SoFo Tap.

Chicago's weekly bear night where the big, the hairy, and the ones who love them come together. No cover, no attitude—just a room full of bears and their admirers ready for a good time. Fridays 9pm to 2am at SoFo Tap.

Saturday afternoons at SoFo Tap belong to the bears and their pups—a weekly dog-friendly hangout from noon to three that's built for easy vibes, good drinks, and the kind of company that gets it. Bring your dog, bring your friends, and settle in for a few hours of low-key fun in the neighborhood.

Free hot dogs, cold drinks, and an easy Sunday hang at SoFo Tap. Noon to 3pm every week — the kind of low-key afternoon where you show up, grab a bite, and settle in with people who get it. No fuss, no cover, just a solid neighborhood moment.

Sunday nights at SoFo Tap belong to Bearaoke—a weekly karaoke night hosted by Rhett Butlah where the energy is bold, the vocals are big, and the crowd actually wants to hear you sing. Country favorites, power ballads, show tunes, whatever—just bring confidence and the mic is yours. Free entry, 9pm to 1am.

Every Monday from 5pm to 2am, The SoFo Tap turns the worst day of the week into an actual reason to get out. Cheap drinks ($5 call it drinks), music videos from the 90s and 00s spinning all night, and a crowd that gets it. Low-key, no pretense — just a solid way to reset before the week really kicks in.
