North Avenue Tap
About This Spot
Step inside North Avenue Tap and you’re greeted by a space that feels deeply rooted in its neighborhood’s rhythm—a genuine crossroads where stories unfold and time slows just enough to savor the moment. This is no polished, impersonal tavern but rather a warm, lived-in gathering place where familiar faces mix with first-timers who are welcomed like old friends. The pace is unhurried, with an easy-going energy set by the hum of conversation, clinking glasses, and the occasional laughter echoing from the pool tables and bocce courts just beyond the bar.
Here, the atmosphere blends the charm of a neighborhood haunt with a hint of history and community pride, reflecting decades of shared experiences and local traditions. Whether the evening brings a lively crowd drawn by house music or a quieter night of low-key drinks and friendly banter, North Avenue Tap adapts with a comforting embrace.
The kitchen quietly fuels the conviviality without fanfare—a behind-the-scenes partner to conversation and connection. You might find yourself drawn by house specialties that bring a satisfying heartiness to the table, crafted with a touch of homestyle care. It’s the kind of menu that invites you to linger, not rush, offering both familiar comforts and unexpected flavors that speak to the eclectic yet grounded spirit of the place.
More than just a bar and grill, North Avenue Tap is a meeting place where the details matter—the warm smile of the bartender who remembers your name, the stories shared over a well-poured drink, the sense that you’ve discovered a spot that feels like a welcome extension of your own neighborhood. It’s a place that invites repeated visits, not because it shouts for attention, but because it quietly earns a special place in the stories of those who stop by.

I wandered in here to kill some time after missing a train back up to Milwaukee. At first I felt like it was a cliquey townie bar and maybe I should leave. The bartender Brian made me feel like family and educated me about the awesome union history and the bar as a historical site. I had the privilege of meeting the woman who owns it and she's so freaking cool. I will go out of my way to come back here because of the amazing sense of community. Neighborhood bars are dwindling in America. This place deserves all your money and support.

Great, friendly neighborhood bar & grill. 7 hours from home, brother & I spent 4 evenings here after spending days with a relative in hospital. All the staff was friendly & fun and all the food we had was great! Friendly patrons & "regulars" too! Burgers, pulled pork, hand made pizza (pre-made, frozen on site...just ask!)...but the rueben was best I've ever had! [PS: Try the Malort at your own peril,.. ] Thanks to Paul at the grill & all the servers, we had a good week & uncle got home safe. 10 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great Neighborhood Bar and Grill. Many locals hang out playing Pool, Bocce Ball and Corn Hole. Belly up and order something from the Grill. Food is delicious and has a variety of specials you will come back for!

Always friendly and amazing service. If you're feeling inflation like all of us this establishment gives you some reprieve. Also no frozen burger patties here, handmade like they're supposed to be. If you meet a Packer fan here be nice and bless their poor soul.
