About Sky Ride Tap

Sky Ride Tap, established in 1971, is a charming spot to unwind. The long bar with a semicircle indent, wood panel walls, and Blackhawks paraphernalia create a cozy atmosphere. It is a classic no-frills Chicago dive bar that has been here for decades. The vibe is laid-back, unpretentious, and full of regulars who probably have been coming here for years. While there is no food menu, they offer chips, pretzels, and a variety of beers for purchase, and recently they added loaded nachos, which are super cheesy with all the right toppings. The staff, including Meg and Anna, are known for their friendliness, and the owner often greets visitors, making it a welcoming experience. Located near the Metropolitan Correctional Center, it’s a great place to stop by for a drink, especially during happy hour. The bartender is old-school and friendly, pouring drinks with a heavy hand, making guests feel very welcome. Overall, Sky Ride Tap is a solid spot for anyone looking for a cold beer, cheap drinks, and a real Chicago bar experience.
