Score
Jaks Tap has been inspected 14 times since 2010. The most recent report on file is from Dec 7, 2016. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. The file hasn't been updated since Dec 7, 2016, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around six violations each.
“Food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 10 times across the record.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, this is about average. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
