Hurley Tap is a great, tucked out of the way neighborhood bar. Nice people, solid food, good beer choices, easy parking. We took the Metra and Divvy’d over..What else do you need?

“Hurley Tap is a new name for a great location, they remodeled the front exterior for the better in my opinion.”

Hurley Tap is a new name for a great location, they remodeled the front exterior for the better in my opinion. I like the huge window that brings the night light in and projects the great atmosphere to folks driving and walking by. I've been here twice under the new Hurley banner and I'm impressed on the difference Hurley makes, last place was more of a shot & beer joint with some ok food which is good if that's what you wanted. These guys have kicked it up a notch starting with the drink menu , nice cocktails and some the bar's own creations. My only opinion on the drinks is offer some classics like Martinis , Sangrias with your twists on them. Some on there now are good creations , but a bit strong or hard to drink. Besides that , drinks are unique and compliment your "AWESOME" food menu. I completely forgot that I was at a bar , typically you get a burnt puck for a burger and nothing really has flavor. Hurley has knock it out with the burger , cooked as good as it gets with great flavor and typically I don't eat a whole burger because of it's lack of any flavor and it's paper thin and the bun is stale with no fresh toppings. The steak with chimichurri sauce was outstanding and the steak cook great not tough and flavor bursts in your mouth. The fries you actually want to eat rather them being a waste. They have some desserts too, I know desserts in a bar right ? They offer a Root Beer Float I'm trying next month, but they have some Churros that take 8-10 minutes that come in a small beer mug with chocolate sauce on the side. The ONLY tip with these are they cooked ours a couple minutes longer than needed which made them a bit hard. The chocolate sauce soften them a bit , but if they offered whipped cream with the sauce on the side Holy Cow ! Warm Churros , Hot Chocolate Sauce & whipped cream would be a slap in the mouth of sweet delight. I will be stopping at Hurley's Tap as many times as I can every month because it's that good. The servers are really nice and really care about your experience, the tall blonde bartender , sorry I'm blanking on her name, but she has been awesome every time and was relatable and making sure our experience each time was special. My rating of 4 for atmosphere is for not seeing any games or juke box , I could have missed them or they haven't put them up yet. Recap: Awesome Service , Food , Cocktails & vibe , everyone should stop in for a bite and good drink. See ya soon Hurley Tap

My husband and I were out walking and exploring the Bucktown neighborhood when we came upon this gem! It was decorated so cute for the holidays, the staff was great, and the nachos were incredible. On a really cold day, it was worth the journey here.

A buddy and I checked out Hurley's to watch the Bears game (they won). We were pleasantly surprised. The staff was awesome. I had tacos that were surprisingly excellent and my buddy had a burrito that looked fantastic. I highly recommend this spot.

“I had a really good time at this place.”

I had a really good time at this place. I'd been searching for a place that felt right to me and comfortable and friendly. And I just happened to stumble upon this place. Very nice bartenders and managers, particularly Javier. Good drinks, good prices. I'm just really impressed by this place. This is a real review.

“Went to Hurley’s Tap for the first time tonight and it certainly won’t be the last.”

Went to Hurley’s Tap for the first time tonight and it certainly won’t be the last. The service and the whole staff were awesome. The food was amazing. Definitely not your typical bar food, it was much, much better. The entertainment was spectacular, first Denny Diamond, an amazing Neil Diamond impersonator and then the Band Ipop, great music. Also got to see a lot of familiar faces, I haven’t seen in a long time. Loved it.
