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!

“We absolutely loved it here.”
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

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.

“Little Joe’s is an awesome place!”
Little Joe’s is an awesome place!! I’m not a big fan of the “club scene” or packed bar where you can’t get a table or hear the person standing next to you, but little Joe’s is just the opposite! Homey warm vibe with great music, bar games, lots of seating and super friendly bar tenders. If you’re anywhere in the area of south loop/little Italy I definitely recommend you stop in!
