Community Tavern calls itself an elevated mom-and-pop, and in this case that's literal.

Free kids meals during select evening hours turns a normal dinner out into an easy call for anyone with a family in tow.

Joey and Brenna Beato, husband and wife, own and run it in Portage Park, the neighborhood they live in, after resumes that include Momofuku's Má Pêche in New York (Joey) and Chicago's Moto (Brenna); they first met working together at Quince in Evanston. Joey cooks seasonal Midwestern ingredients through pan-Asian technique with longtime sous chef Danny Tolentino, which on the plate means green papaya salad, BBQ pork ribs with ginger-lemongrass caramel, kim-cheese fries with house kimchi and Merkt's cheddar, and beef bulgogi ($32) over chewy rice cakes. A double cheeseburger with Community sauce ($18) holds down the comfort end. Two deals make it an easy weeknight. Happy hour runs every night it's open, 5 to 6PM, dine-in only: $10 select appetizers, $10 classic cocktails, $25 bottles of wine and $5 drafts or cider.

And kids eat free Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday, one free kids meal per adult entrée of $16 or more, for kids 12 and under. House rules worth knowing: a 20% service charge has been included on every check since September 2026 in place of tipping, corkage is $25 a bottle, and there's still no brunch, by choice. Dinner only: Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday 5-9PM, Friday and Saturday until 10. Book on Resy; there's a pay lot at Cuyler and LaPorte.
