“I had such a great time at Little Joe’s after my first day in Chicago. What definitely contributed is the homey atmosphere, friendly bartenders and great beer with the occasional happy hour specials. I will definitely be back next time in Chicago!”

“Really cool place to hangout, friendly and approachable bartenders, delicious food. The margs are great, tacos came out piping hot and tasty. Would definitely recommend”

“Great food and service. They really do have the best tacos and tortas around”

“Amazing experience. The wings are absolutely out of this world. 10/10 experience.”

“We absolutely loved it here. KG is incredibly well versed in drinks, and while it was slow, he made us several new kinds of drinks that really blew our socks off. Never met a bartender that created new fun things like this guy. 1000% check this place out”
“Super fun spot to watch the Cubs game! $3 PBRs, a divey but stylish bar with killer music and a down to earth nice-guy cool bartender? You can’t top that! I can’t wait to come back again😊”
“Cam is cool as hell, he gave me a couple shots as a welcome to Chicago after I moved here in August. (I spent most of the next day hung over and bedridden but that was on me LOL)”
