The Friendly Tap/Bar

Since way back in '68, and given a fresh spark in '07, The Friendly Tap at Friendly Music Community in Berwyn, IL, has been the cozy corner where the neighborhood comes alive. It's more than just a live music venue and cocktail bar; it's where local folks gather for incredible tunes, genuine chats, and those happy, unexpected moments you only find when you're surrounded by friends – old and new. Catch fantastic local bands playing everything from soulful blues to energetic rock, all while sipping on expertly crafted cocktails and sharing stories. Think of The Friendly Tap as your extended living room in Berwyn, a place where the music is always playing, the conversation flows freely, and everyone feels like they belong.

They say you're a stranger but once at Friendly's. It's imperatively true. The place has got what my husband and I call "lore". You're part of the story when you go to Friendly. You walk into a community that you instantly long to be a part of. And suddenly, you are.

This is a gem of a spot. My friend and I stayed here for Riot Fest 2024, my fourth in a row, and this was probably the best place I’ve stayed out of all four years! Super walkable and quiet neighborhood surrounding. Definitely a perfect place for 2-3 people to stay for an extended period of time. Lacy was an excellent host in all forms. Would absolutely stay here again!
