About

Community Tavern, nestled in the Portage Park neighborhood of Chicago, is a new American restaurant owned and operated by husband and wife team, Joey & Brenna Beato.  Our dream has always been to run our very own elevated 'mom & pop' restaurant in the neighborhood we call home.  Chef Joey combines seasonal, local midwestern ingredients with pan-Asian influences.  His food is a reflection of his upbringing, professional experiences and desire to take care of people with his cooking.  Community's extensive beverage program complements Joey's dishes with a diverse wine selection, creative cocktails and craft beer.  Our team is small and tight-knit, feeling more like family than colleagues.  This fosters an environment of sincere, warm hospitality that radiates throughout our walls.  Community is truly a labor of love in more ways than one. 
We hope you feel the love too!
