Saw a band, The Shanks, play. Good service and lively crowd, location was very, very small. Friendly Tap has 2 sides and band played on the smaller side this time. Did not eat, just had drinks

I'll be honest with you--I did not want to write this review. I want to keep the Friendly Tap Community a secret. You won't find any place like it. They've got a bar, a coffee shop, live music, open mic night, music lessons, an 80s arcade machine with multiple games, snacks and pizza, and a gallery for shows and other events. Go there often enough and your name will be learned not only by the super-friendly staff, but by other patrons as well. Friendly's lives up to its name well beyond what you may expect. If you can only come here once, come on a Thursday night. There's almost always live music on Thursdays--see my video for an example. If you do go on a Thursday, ask for me so I can welcome you personally. 👋

Where do I even begin with this place?
Long story but... our friend was going to be competing on Chopped on the food network and we needed a place to all get together to watch it. I called Friendly's and that they were, Friendly as can be. Friendlier than I could have ever expected. They not only let us come and watch the episode in their awesome amazing bar but they set us up to watch it on their movie screen with full surround sound... They catered to all of us and were so accommodating. I absolutely love every single person that works there.
Tammy and Kim and Rob you are the best in the biz. The bar and coffee shop is so welcoming, decorated so great, so much space to be comfortable . It is my most favorite place in Berwyn and a place I always mention when I try to recruit people to move to Berwyn.
I cant wait to come back very soon!

Friendly place, no pun intended. The chill vibes, and fun rock nights compliment the loft-like artistic vibes.
But don't let that drink menu fool you. Not sure if it's get alot of attention but their drink selection features exotic teas, as well as health food smoothies, this is a good place to hang with a group of friends INCLUDING the non-alcoholic ones.
They're open late, open mic on Wednesdays too.
The only real con is the habitual open door policy mixed with flooring having random wholes a quick cement mix can easily fix, bugs buzzing around your favorite drink and chance of a high-heel become a low heel from rolled ankles is a small price to pay though.
I reccomend the Shamrock Shake, MCDONALD'S DIDN'T CORNER THE MARKET ON THAT DRINK AND THEY SERVE IT YEAR ROUND!!
