Small Bar on division is my go to bar when I am in the area. They have 22 or 23 taps and about half of them rotate frequently. They usually have selections have on tap from Three Floyd's, Lagunita's, Surly, Left Hand, Two Brother's and Allagash. A wide selection of import and domestic microbrews and bottle selection.

Because I live so close to here I have been here countless times. I am usually pleased with the friendly staff and the surprisingly good bar food. It can get crowded on Friday or Saturday nights, but never too bad.

They are a huge supporter of international soccer and also have all Chicago Fire's games on, if you are into that stuff. When soccer is not on the TV they usually play skate video's, which I enjoy.

Overall, one of the better bars in the area to to go to. Really, the only place on Division to hang out at.

The food menu here is very similar to the Small Bar in Logan Square. Small Bar is pub food focused with an emphasis on having a solid draft selection.

We usually end up eating some fried cheese curds while drinking a pint from one of their 16 or more draft selections. The beers range from local/regional beers to Belgian varieties and there is a small selection of the typical imports like Guinness and Bass. The bottle selection is also varied and usually adds a few more winning selections to the mix.

This Small Bar location also has a hand pump, so there is often something interesting from either Two Brothers or Three Floyds available on cask.

If you're in this trendy hipster neighborhood, don't get suckered into 20 dollar plates of tapas and 15 dollar liquor drinks. Get some fried cheese curds and a draft beer!

On a nice day, this part of wicker park is not really that long of a walk from the Damen Blue Line stop. It's about a half-mile south. Don't expect to find parking very easily on Division.
