High Dive

High Dive is a cozy bar and eatery in Chicago’s Ukrainian Village. The bar is known for their unique craft beers, as well as many varieties of tater tots. You can get your standard fare, along with ranch, cajun, and even these Canadian style poutine tots.

Quenchers Saloon

Quencher’s Saloon is a Logan Square bar with live music and incredible pub food. They also have an huge selection of tater tot dishes. Along with a regular basked of tots, you can get The Works Tots (which are covered in cheese, bacon, sour cream, and chives), Volcano Tots (which are covered in chili, cheese, sour cream, and green onions), the Porked Up Spuds (which come with pulled porn, cheese, bacon, jalapeño, and green onions), Buffalo Style Tots, or the Original Tater Tot Pizza.
