16th Street Bar & Coffee Lounge

Good drinks!

Tried to stop here at 630pm and they look like they've closed. Google still says open so who knows. No sign to indicate what's going on.

​Stopped by 16th Street Bar & Coffee Lounge in the South Loop last weekend and had a fantastic time. Spent around $30 on drinks, starting with their signature Espresso Martini, which was smooth and had the perfect kick. Also tried the Southside Sunset cocktail—a delightful mix of cognac, pear liqueur, allspice dram, and lemon juice—that was both refreshing and flavorful. The vibe inside is cozy and intimate, with dim lighting and a chill atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and enjoy the evening. The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations and ensuring our glasses were never empty.

Outstanding Spot! Will miss it

Awesome people and great service

I visited this location on February 22, 2025. A young black girl was my original bartender. I was charged $16 dollars for a full glass of white wine but was only given a half. I never was even given the option to be served a half or full glass of wine. I was surprised that the wine by the glass was so expensive therefore, I checked the online menu. The cost of the wine on the menu was priced lower than what I was charged. When I questioned the situation, the Asian/mixed bartender brushed the matter off. Let me add that the customer service from both bartenders was horrible. I do not recommend this place to anyone as it seems like something very shady is going on with there pricing. I will not return.

I've been to 16th Street Bar a few times. They do not have food. Their service is average at best.

This is my favorite chill spot. No better place on Chicago Marathon day for getting into the cheer spirit. It was a bit crowded as folks were making plans to spot friends at the tail end of the course. But the staff handled it well.
