This place is awesome. Tried their smash burgers I ordered the Pleaser which comes with grilled onions and was delicious. You can’t go wrong pairing one with an ice-cold Hamm's, but they also have a great selection of cocktails and a solid variety of draft beers! Got some garlic cheese curds and fries on the side, and everything hit-the-spot. On top of that, the service was outstanding.
I’ve live around the corner for 20 years it’s become very hipster. We accept the smash 🍔 but we miss the tots.
This could be the best burger I've ever had. The vibes are right. The bar menu is clever and the drinks are good. The staff is cool and friendly. If I lived closer it would be dangerous.

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.
