R. Erika asked Blake Crouch:

I really enjoyed Dark Matter! I work and am getting a grad degree (not physics) from the University of Chicago. I also lived in Logan Square for 6 years, and Roscoe Village with my friend for a few months when I first moved to Chicago. My question is about the Village Tap. That is in Roscoe Village, not Logan Square! So I presumed you were blending the Roscoe Village Village Tap maybe with Whirl Away on Fullerton?

Blake Crouch Correct! But that Village Tap IS the one that inspired the bar in the book.
