Reviews for Navigator Taproom in Chicago, IL
This tap room is really nice . Some friends from my kickball team used to come to this bar all the time and so they were very... familiar with the setup. This was my 1st time coming to this tap room even though I have passed by it on Milwaukee severaltimes. We had a reservation for a table as we had decided to host our friendsgiving event at the bar. That was really sweet ofthem to allow us to do that because we were able to bring enjoy the beer and just enjoy the beer wine at the tap room and hangout openly. Read more
My family held a surprise engagement party here and we had the best time. The set up was perfect for what we needed. Staff was... so accommodating and friendly. The beer selections and mixed drinks on tap were amazing. We wll certainly be back! Read more
Tim & staff are AMAZING. Not only is the place itself such a cool atmosphere but the people are the kindest. They are the reason... I am so proud of the Chicago community. I blindly reached out searching for places that would host a fundraiser with myorganization. Tim immediately responded. The process was so easy and efficient. The staff and space are so well prepared for anyevent, charity or not. By supporting this establishment you are also supporting the community. Thank you so much Navigatortaproom! Read more
Still the king of self pour bars in the city! Been coming to Navigator since they first opened up and I’m so glad to have... gotten the chance to visit this great bar once again yesterday after all this COVID BS Great selection of board games anddrinks. Staff are always welcoming and helpful to any problems you have. Employee at the front explained the process of howpayment is processed perfectly (unlike some other places) Beer selections are varied and tasty as well as offering some goodcider and wine options. The fact that they now have cocktails on tap is the cherry on top ???? Been to a couple of of otherself pour bars in the city and they just haven’t been able to compare. Tapster in wicker park used to be good but it’s gonedown the drain as of late unfortunately. I’m glad that they’re still going on strong after so much and can’t wait to keepvisiting in the future!

Stopped in yesterday on a recommendation and so glad we did! Fantastic space with games for the kids. My wife and I each had a... few pours from the tap wall. Ben knew about each of the beers and took time to give us a detailed rundown. We enjoyed our drinksand some dinner from Serai next door. We will definitely stop by next time we are in town! Read more
Love this concept of free board games and self service beer and cocktails. Minus one star just because the cocktails are not... something I would ever order here. Tried the margarita and the old fashion and they were very syrupy and taste was so bad Icouldn’t even finish the small pour I had just to try them. However, the beer selection was good and they even had a couple ofdifferent wines on tap that were decent. Read more
This place is COOL! Self-serving adult beverages- heck yes! You get a “credit card” and you can try any drinks- they have... various beers, and mixed drinks, all on tap! I love this concept so much! They also have snacks available. Even better: theyhave ample space to sit and chill, great music, and games galore to play while you drink! They also occasionally seem to havehappy hours / deals. Will be back as this place is a gem. Plus, the owner seemed super nice and made sure to explain to us theconcept in a friendly manner. Read more
I got fraud when I was here. This was my first time here and I will never be returning. When I went I was charged $33 and i only... spent $23 I didn’t care it was only $10. Now I’m seeing a preauthorization charge for $13 4 days after I went. I will nowhave to cancel my card as it looks like there could be fraud committed on it. I don’t care about the money just the weirdcharges and the inconvenience of having to cancel my card. Not sure why there would be a pre authorization charge 4 days after Iwent really strange.
