Great neighborhood bar with absolutely terrific food. I almost always get the quesabirria tacos. Great place to watch a game or meet with friends. The staff is always friendly. I was impressed when they remembered my friend and me after just one visit.

Located in the Little Italy section of Chicago, Little Joe's describes itself as a 1946 saloon reminisce of your Italian family basement. It has been a neighborhood fixture and when new owners came in 2020, they retained the integrity of the bar but added backyard patio, new food menu and new drinks. Little Joe's is a must visit for tourists and while famous Chicago Italian actors, Joe Mantegna or Dennis Farino might not be sitting at the bar, you can look at the door and see what famous Italian Chicagon walks in.

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

KG treated us so well. We stopped here before a wedding reception because it was close by, but it ended up being the best choice! He was so kind and generous and the bar itself was such a classic dive bar with an amazing atmosphere.

My son and I visited again this weekend and again it was great! The tacos dipped in birrrea was delicious. Also the shrimp tacos were very good. Great service and atmosphere. We will be back.
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!

Great place to take my wife and to meet my family and friends. Bartender is always welcoming with a big hello, and he mixes fabulous drinks. We go there before Blackhawks and Bulls games -- great to warm up. In the summer the back patio reminds me of how I always my backyard to be.

This is the kind of neighborhood bar that I love. It's got history but with a new ownership group running it for the past several years, they've refreshed it a bit while keeping the old-school charm. The staff is friendly and pours great cocktails. While I don't touch the stuff, Malort seems to have a noted presence here that helps fuel the fun. Who doesn't love to see the face of someone who just downed a Malort shot? The outdoor patio is great in the summer and last but not least, the Mexican food they serve is top-notch.
