Frequently asked questions about The Village Tap
Is the photo booth at The Village Tap still working?
We haven't confirmed it recently. It was listed as running when we added it, but analog booths do go down. Ring the venue first if it's a long trip, and report back either way.
How much is a strip at The Village Tap, and can I pay by card?
The price is posted on the machine. Cash only — bring coins or small notes. Most analog booths in this range run a few pounds, euros or dollars a strip.
Is The Village Tap a real film photo booth or a digital one?
Real film. Prints are black-and-white, developed with real chemistry inside the machine, so expect to wait a few minutes for the strip to drop.
Do I need to book, or can I just walk up to The Village Tap?
Just walk up. It's a coin-op booth, not a hire service — no booking, no attendant. If the venue is open, the booth is on.
How many photos do you get at The Village Tap, and how long does it take?
One strip of four shots in black and white. The machine takes the four in quick succession, then develops the strip on the spot — usually three to five minutes before it drops into the slot.
What time can I use the booth at The Village Tap?
11:30 AM – 2:00 AM Mon–Sun, 11:30 AM – 3:00 AM Sat. The booth is inside the venue, so those are the hours that matter.
How do I get to The Village Tap?
It's at 2055 W Roscoe St, Chicago, Illinois. Use the map above for transit, walking or driving directions from wherever you are.
Can I get into The Village Tap with a wheelchair or a pram?
We haven't checked access at this venue. Classic booths have a fixed bench and a curtain, so the booth itself is a tight fit; the venue's own access is the thing to ask them about.
What if the booth at The Village Tap is out of order when I get there?
It happens — these machines are decades old. Scroll to "Nearest booths" in Chicago for the closest alternative, and tap "Report an issue" so we can flag it for everyone else.
