Established in 2019, Osito’s Tap is a speakeasy-inspired bar located in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood. Housed in a historic greystone building adjacent to Moreno’s Liquors, this bar pays homage to the area's rich cultural tapestry. Once a Bohemian bar and underground bookie joint, the space now serves as a modern Latinx cocktail haven. Owner Mike Moreno Jr., a third-generation member of the Moreno family, envisioned Osito’s Tap as a community-centric space that celebrates Latin American heritage through craft spirits and cocktails. The bar features a curated selection of tequilas, mezcals, and other agave-based spirits, many sourced from Moreno’s Liquors next door. Signature drinks like the smoky "El Oscuro" Old Fashioned highlight the inventive menu. The interior design reflects its speakeasy roots, with exposed masonry walls, dark millwork, and Talavera tile patterns, creating an ambiance that is both nostalgic and contemporary. Osito’s Tap also offers a health-conscious food menu, emphasizing fresh ingredients and traditional Latin flavors. Beyond its offerings, Osito’s Tap is committed to fostering an inclusive and educational environment, making it a beloved fixture in the Little Village community.
