“ Cameron was awesome. Knew his stuff, made great drinks, and was really fun to talk to. ”
“ The BEST bar in Chicago! Not frills. Just fun! Great nachos and atmosphere! ”
“ Good service Good staff Great place to hang out at night ”
“ Decent dive-ish bar in Little Italy. Good prices on Old Style. Easy to find a space (especially if you go early). I'm not sure if they have a patio, but if they do, that'd be so sick. Went when they had trivia once (not on purpose) seemed like a good time. ”
“ I recently had the pleasure of eating at Lil Joe's Tacos and I'm so glad I did! The food was absolutely delicious, with bold, flavorful ingredients that really elevated the tacos to something special. The service was friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was fun and inviting. I will definitely be back to Lil Joe's Tacos again soon! Highly recommended! ”
