Best smash burger you can get. Great atmosphere, super nice guys behind the bar! Worth it 100%
This burger is SOOOOO good!!! The outsides are crunchy and the inside is delicious, meaty, and savory. Seriously one of the best burgers in Chicago. The atmosphere is super fun too. They have TV’s and heaters outside on the patio. Great spot for watching the game or hanging out with buddies.
food: good burger and beer deals, burger has a bit too much mustard for my liking and the patty is monstrous spilling out but still yum
service: nice staff
ambiance: nice outdoor seating but so many mosquitoes, great late night spot

Small Bar, a neighborhood corner bar, has recently been remodeled, and the new vibe, food, and service have all been praised by its loyal customers. The restaurant features a refreshed version of its previous design, complete with brand new and sparkling bathrooms.
The food menu has been streamlined, focusing on classics like Burger, Fries, Grilled Cheese, and Cheese Curds. The Cheese Curds ($10) have received positive reviews, especially with the addition of jalapeno sauce, while the Pleaser Burger ($8) is noted for being one of the best burgers in Chicago. Although it can be a bit salty, the Burger is served with a side of ketchup, helping to balance the flavor. Customers have tried both burgers and loved them, finding them fresh and perfectly flavored.
Customers are eagerly awaiting the expansion of the menu to include more options, such as sandwiches, wraps, and salads. The bar also features a great draft list, and the prices for both food and drinks have been deemed reasonable. The frozen Banana Daiquiri has been a hit, and the cocktails, including a great espresso martini, have received high praise.
The staff has been commended for making the first guests on the remodeled patio feel right at home. Overall, Small Bar has maintained its classic "neighborhood corner bar" vibe, with improvements that have impressed its regular visitors. However, there have been some mentions of disappointment regarding the pickle backs, which have been described as lacking zing. Despite this, the overall experience remains positive, and customers plan to return.
