Byron Dive Bar to Reopen with New Name & New Look It may look a little different at N. Union & Second Street in Byron, but change isn't always bad. Back in early April, one of the most beloved dive bars outside of Rockford served its last round of beer and shots. Many longtime regulars of Century Tap celebrated its lengthy history and memories with drinks, tears, and smiles. For me, Century Tap was the first bar in Byron where I felt welcomed. Not to say the other establishments were unwelcoming, that isn't the case at all. But, there was something unique about Century. The little dive bar had its own charm. Maybe it was the people? Maybe it was the look on the inside? Whatever it was, Century Tap earned its special places in many folks hearts, including mine.
