Osito's Tap

Craft spirits, beer, and cocktails are the focus at this speakeasy-inspired bar. Osito's Tap offers signature drinks alongside a fresh, health-conscious food menu, with a bar program centered on tequila, mezcal, and other spirits. The concept blends modern Latinx flair with the history of Little Village, incorporating the neighborhood's former Czech immigrant community and its gray-stone architecture into the design, food, and drinks. Opened in 2019, the bar also emphasizes education around craft beer, tequila, and spirits. Its Chicago location occupies a space that was once home to a Bohemian bar and underground bookie joint, connecting the current menu and atmosphere with the area's cultural legacy.
