Burwood Tap

Food + DrinkLincoln Park · American Community-sourced, unverified
📍 724 W Wrightwood Ave, Chicago, IL 60614

Burwood Tap has been in the same family for three generations since 1933, when it opened as a soda shop during Prohibition's final stretch before converting to a bar the moment it could — one of the first Chicago establishments to get a liquor license once the ban lifted.

Leroy Brown, the real person Jim Croce wrote "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" about, was a regular here.

Friday's free food buffet at 7pm plus $2 cosmos is a modern deal riding on nine decades of actual history, not a marketing story invented to sound old.
