With over 115 beers (80 on tap), and some of the best burgers in Chicago, Butcher’s Tap prides itself as your go-to Burger and Beer bar!
This venue pays homage to its roots as a butcher shop that was founded in 1932. It features a custom wood bar, butcher block tables, and a farm-to-table menu that includes scratch-made dishes like gourmet burgers, fried chicken, and a variety of sandwiches and flatbreads.
