Serving bars, lounges, and nightlife venues across Chicagoland — from the city core to the western suburbs and south side communities. Zero cost to you, passive revenue from night one.
Chicagoland is where TapMe started, and it remains our densest and most active territory. The reasons are straightforward.
Chicago has one of the deepest bar and nightlife scenes in the country. Between the neighborhoods packed with dive bars, cocktail lounges, and late-night spots — and the suburbs that mirror that energy on a smaller scale — there is no shortage of venues that fit the TapMe model. Dense foot traffic, long nights, and customers who are already in a spending mindset.
The Midwest bar culture also means year-round indoor entertainment. Chicago winters keep people inside for months, and that translates directly into higher dwell times and more impulse purchases from wall-mounted vending machines placed near restrooms, game areas, and hallway corridors.
Our local operations team is based in the Chicago area, which means faster installs, same-day service when needed, and a restocking schedule that keeps machines full during peak nights. That local presence is what separates TapMe from vendors who ship a machine and disappear.
