Truce is undoubtedly one of the best chill bars in Chicago. If you’re looking for unique drinks that wow you, Truce is the place you want to go to. One of the owners, Rami, made my wife and I feel right at home. The food and snacks are insanely great. the overall vibe is unbeatable. This place sets the bar for hospitality and quality. Can’t wait to come back!

Love coming here for coffee and the delicious breakfast sandwiches but we also held our wedding reception here and it was wonderful. The drinks and food were delicious and the team working the event were fantastic. Thanks Rami!!

TRUCE is an aesthetic and cozy spot with an exciting menu to match. One look at the drink menu and you can tell that TRUCE understands mixology and gastronomy on an out of this world level.
Besides the modern design and friendly staff, the highlights of the evening were the Bucktown Fog (a banana-y hojicha drink), The Chips (crispy potato chips w/ giardiniera & roe), and the Brownie (a gourmet cosmic brownie).
My only regret is not spending more time there and not tasting more items!

What a phenomenal concept and beautiful space. I was getting a haircut across the street and stopped in for a cocktail and was blown away. The drinks were new and inventive without trying too hard. Still very approachable with clear flavor profiles.
Service was top notch. No notes.
I'll definitely be back!

Truce is my local cocktail bar - love the vibe, service, and drinks.
The pizza bagel is in fact only half a bagel. I feel like it should be called a pizza bagel slice if it is only half a bagel. It is delicious though. They have great coffee.

Truce is a masterclass in the art of liquid craft — a place where coffee, tea, and cocktails converge in ways that are both innovative and deeply satisfying.
Let’s begin with the coffee and tea program, which is anything but an afterthought. Truce treats coffee and tea with the same precision and reverence as its cocktails. Every element — from origin to extraction method — is dialed in. The espresso is pulled with impeccable consistency, offering layered flavor profiles that highlight terroir, roast, and grind precision.
The signature coffee cocktails are where Truce really shines. They’re not just adding a splash of booze to espresso — they’re crafting intentional, multi-layered drinks where coffee is the star. One standout is their Espresso Martini where you can taste every ingredient in a distint and balanced way.
It’s clear the team understands both flavor chemistry and the unique characteristics of different coffee varietals and teas.
The baristas and bartenders here are true professionals — warm, curious, and deeply informed.
Truce isn’t just a coffee shop, or a cocktail bar, or a tea house — it’s all three, harmonized. For those of us who live and breathe beverage culture, it’s an inspiring reminder of what’s possible when you approach every drink, from a morning cortado to an espresso martini, with equal parts art and science.
Shoutout to Rami that made my experience especially memorable.

I’ve actually been here twice—once for drinks in the evening and then more recently for the coffee and tea selection during the day. I’d say I was pretty impressed both times.
The service was impeccable, and everyone was super welcoming. The space is cute—maybe a little dark—but that kind of gives it a cozy, homey vibe.
As for the drinks, they offer really interesting flavor combinations for both their coffee and tea selections during the day and their cocktails at night. If you're someone who's a little more adventurous or wants to try something new, this is the place for you.
Of course, they also have classics if you’d rather stick with something familiar and chill with a friend. The space is really comfortable and feels like an upscale neighborhood spot.

Elite. Intentional. Distinct. Truce exemplifies the new standard of Chicago’s hospitality scene—effortlessly blending local charm with world-class cosmopolitan sophistication. A class act in every respect: quality & attentive service, stylish minimal interior, welcoming & vibey atmosphere, and an impressively creative menu. They are the culture.
