I love coming here for bachelor/bachelorette showings!! Please keep doing that on Mondays!! Great non alcoholic options like root beer and kombucha. Bonus points for yummy popcorn (thanks for always keeping the bowl full Anthony!)!

Loved this place. My friends had their bday party here, and they reserved an area/room for this. The best thing about this place are the self-serve drinks machines. You provide your credit card to the staff, and they give you a card that works with all the pour machines, and tracks how much your pour. Really cool! The staff was friendly as well. The only thing that didn’t make sense to me was that all the restrooms were in the reserved private area - so everyone was in our space.

Just hit up Tapster in Lincoln Park last night and it’s a total vibe. Super chill spot with self-serve taps, ended up pouring a hazy IPA, a crisp rosé, and even a kombucha sampler. Grabbed a cortado too. All told, spent about $35 and it felt worth every penny. Staff kept the refills flowing and the place was buzzing but not cramped. Perfect for a laid‑back hangout after work. Solid 5⭐—definitely coming back!

Very chill neighborhood bar with games and trivia on Tuesdays. No food but they do have popcorn, I do believe they let you bring your own food as well? There are a ton of games in the back and you just get a card to pour your own beers. It's a great chance to try a ton of different options if you just do quarter pours of several beers, prob 20 on tap.

This place is awesome. You hand in your credit card and get a card in return. You pour your own beer/cider/house made cocktails. It’s really fun and the staff is amazing. Popcorn is $1-2!
