Plan an evening at Clara.

🎶 A Bar With Range

Jazz combos and classical string quartets share the bill at Clara, the intimate Wicker Park cocktail bar where inventive craft drinks get a live soundtrack. The programming stretches to funk bands and occasional tap dance performances, rather than sticking to one corner of the music world. At 2027 W North Ave, it occupies the former Tapster location.

Cocktails include Everybody Loves You, with mocktails, beers, and natural wine rounding out the drinks selection. Small bites are available alongside the precision made drinks. Bring a book for a slower stop or linger over a cocktail while the intimate live music anchors the evening.

Clara opens Tuesday and Wednesday from 4 PM to midnight, Thursday through Saturday from 4 PM to 1 AM, and Sunday from 2 PM to 8 PM, with Monday closed. Entry is restricted to guests aged 21 and over.
