“Little Toasted is one of those spots that just works no matter what kind of day you’re having. You can bring your laptop and knock out some work, host a casual meeting, or simply kick back and relax. The space is unique, very inviting, and surprisingly spacious — an easy place to settle in without feeling rushed. Drinks are solid, and Johnny behind the bar is a big part of the experience. He’s quick, personable, and genuinely knowledgeable, always open to conversation and happy to guide you on what’s pouring that day or what might fit your mood. Whether you’re working, meeting, or unwinding, this place adapts to you. I’d absolutely take advantage of the space in any of those scenarios — it truly fits whatever kind of day you’re having.”
“Delicious drinks, inventive and tasty food. Perfect happy happy spot with work colleagues”
“Traveling in Chicago didn’t really know where to grab lunch. Little Toasted caught my eye. I’m so glad we stopped! Had the Teriyaki Salmon Bowl, it was full of flavor! Highly recommended!”
“355 whiskeys to choose from, best selection and vibes in the area. Come to little, leave toasted.”
“Great spot to land near the stations. Extensive whiskey list at decent pricing for city #s! Also grabbed an old fashioned which wasn’t as strong as I was hoping but flavor balance was fantastic.”
“Great spot near the Amtrak station. Had a passion fruit daiquiri and a blackened chicken sandwich that was deliciously spicy. Sat in a nice chair near the window to get some sun and read a bit before my train ride. There was a Climate Action museum across the way that I didn't have time to visit but would like to another time. Friendly service and great food”
“Can’t complain at all! Needed a quick bite before I hopped on my Amtrak, and the turkey wrap and fries were surprisingly filling! Tasted very good too. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Also was feeling a little fancy and tried the “smoke show” cocktail (which is normally not anything I’d ever order) and was pleasantly surprised at the unique flavor (it delivers what it promises). And the food came out VERY fast! It’s been hours now, I’m still on the train, and I’m still not hungry! So if you need something quick and sustainable, I’d say consider this one! For being a place we chose randomly, I’d say we struck it rich!”
“Super nice bar staff. Great drink menu and happy hour food is enough for a meal.”
“A fun place for groups and couples and friends and work groups. Lots of fun drinks and inside and outside seating and lots of appetizers and food. But the food isn’t great. The jalapeño nachos have too much jalapeño and little cheese and little salsa tomato. Drinks are good… food okay. Beautiful ambiance and modern look. Fun fun fun. Great for corporate events.”
