About SoFo Tap

SoFo Tap, located in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood, stands out as a vibrant and welcoming spot in the LGBTQIA+ community. This neighborhood bar, renowned for its bear-friendly atmosphere, offers a unique blend of events and specials that cater to a diverse crowd. One of the most enticing features of SoFo Tap is its array of themed events and specials. For instance, Bear Beer Blast Sundays are popular, featuring discounted Miller Lite drafts and house shots, coupled with free Chicago-style hot dogs. It's a lively environment where patrons can enjoy drinks at great prices and partake in the fun atmosphere. The bar also hosts BEARAOKE every Sunday night, providing a stage for guests to unleash their inner star. This event, along with NerdBear Trivia on Wednesdays, adds a fun and interactive element to the bar's offerings. Additionally, their signature margaritas and Lost Coast Tangerine Drafts are a hit, especially during their happy hours. Another unique aspect of SoFo Tap is its dog-friendly policy. Doggy Days on Saturdays offer a wonderful opportunity for patrons to bring their furry friends along, enjoying half-priced drafts and treats for their pets. SoFo Tap's commitment to a no-cover, no-attitude policy, especially on events like GRRR: Chicago's Favorite Bear Night, creates an inclusive and relaxed environment. This policy, coupled with their daily specials like New Amsterdam Cocktails and BIG BEAR Miller Lite Drafts, ensures that there's something for everyone.

This used to be our Sunday funday destination but things have taken a turn for the worse. Takes forever to get a drink. Your bar staff is over worked and under staffed to the detriment of your patrons. The staff are hard working but drowning in mismanagement.

Holy Crap! Stopped in for a beer at 6pm! Pint of Modellos was $8.50! With a tip that’s $10! Are you freaking kidding me???? Plus there’s NO ONE here - guess I know why!

I don't usually leave reviews for bars, but I feel compelled to share my experience at this one. I'm a huge fan of this bar and its amazing team! The bartenders and owners are all fantastic. I especially want to give a big shout-out to BEE! Every time he serves me, he goes above and beyond to make me feel welcome, even when I'm there alone. Thank you so much!

Thomas was super busy tending the main bar and made my friends and I special drinks - they were phenomenal and trivia hosting was fantastic!
