daily features

Tavern on Clark is a one-of-a-kind experience in Rockford. We wanted to bring back the look and feel of the classic neighborhood tavern. Newly renovated and updated, we want to take you back to the way taverns used to be - friendly and welcoming, but with the most modern amenities.


Just check out our 16-glass Wine Cruvinet, unrivaled in Rockford, which allows you to sample dozens of exciting and exotic wines by the glass, as if they were just poured from a newly opened bottle. Our wine selection is one of the most diverse and comprehensive in town, guaranteed to satisfy even the most demanding connoisseurs.


Our beer and spirit offerings are just as impressive. You'll have more than 60 craft beers to choose from and you can even try the artisan and local beers made from the 312 and Goose Island breweries of Chicago. We are fast becoming the go to place for select bourbon and other fine spirits, with more than 30 bourbons from which you can sample.


Located next to State Street, just off the I-90 and Business 20 junction.
