This Chicago Dive Bar Hides a Backyard Koi Pond
Catch a performance at O's Tap, where dancing reaches the patio in Logan Square.
🎶 A Dive With a Detour
O's Tap puts live music at the center of a neighborhood dive in Logan Square. Head to 2044 N Western Ave for a Chicago bar where the gathering reaches into the back. Patrons dance there and out on the patio, carrying the social side of the room into the open air.
The backyard has its own unexpected arrangement. A surround bar sits around a koi pond, bringing a small patch of water into the drinking space. An outdoor fire pit and American flags complete the setup. Take your time out here between conversations, and keep an eye out for an occasional visiting dog.
Before heading over, remember this is a cash only bar. Entry is limited to guests aged 21 and over. Bring the friend who likes a neighborhood spot with something tucked behind it, and leave room in the plan to spend time outside.
