Whiskey Bars in Chicago, IL

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!“

“Tofu bun, fried rice and edamame hummus were great, in fact first time I had tried such a hummus and it's highly recomendable! I would have given the food a better rating if it wasn't for the spice level in the ramen. I ordered the tan-tan san, which indicated it has a kick of spice in it. When asking about the spice level, I was told that they would makse sure that it wasn't as spicy by not adding any kimchi or oil. As soon as I tried it, this was not the case as it was way too spicy to eat.“

“Wonderful evening! We had an amazing dinner & dessert with attentive service with care.“

“Excelente servicio y atención y todo está de 10 súper recomendado 👏🏼✨“

“I left with the biggest smile that a Chicagoan can produce! The drinks… Amazing! The service… Amazing! The bartender who went by the name “ taco ” can make an amazing shot using only simple ingredients that were available at the bar! I will definitely come again; for the service, for the bartender, for the atmosphere… but especially for the football! Go birds! 🦅🦅🦅“

“Food was awesome, service... Ehhh“

“We were in town for NYE and settled in the Whiskey Girl Tavern to bring in the New Year as there was a Moulin Rouge show included! When we went to buy the tickets, the highest package ticket was the only one available for $30 but it was never explicit what that entailed. When we got there, we were able to get a table. Live singer and guitarist were great. Loved loved loved to see the LGBT community in a safe, authentic, expressive environment. Glad we were able to enjoy our drinks and a bite to eat before the show. We ordered the white pizza, I don’t think that is what we got. It seemed like any other cheese pizza. It was okay but wouldn’t order again. We were very much looking forward to the burlesque show but to be honest it was just alright. DJ was pretty good, just wished the show was actually a show. We could barely see or hear anything from a table with what should have been clear sight. Overall, the NYE experience was just okay but we want to come back and give it a second chance to catch a game next time we’re in town.“

“Small, cozy space with beautiful drinks. Very nice staff.“

“Cozy neighbor bar experience. A very nice draft beer selection. Wednesday’s are 1/2 off wine bottles.“

“I’m bringing all my friends here. Tonight was my first time but absolutely not my last. Lauren Hall was so delightful. The staff was also very kind ❤️“

“Nice place, nice people. It's a bar but they have pizzas which I will request to be less well done next time as I like my food closer to the raw side.... They also have the polish zapiekanki which I did not try.... Some of the karaoke singers were really good. Looks like it's not just regulars here which surprised me.“

“Nice vibe in this place, although it can get really noisy if there is a party going on.
Our server, Nate, had a nice chill vibe and took good care of us.
The Ginger mocktail was very good.
Brussels sprouts were tasty if a bit overdone. The CBR smash burger was yummy.“

“Great drinks, food, fun.“

“I stopped by Little Toasted on a random afternoon in Chicago, and it honestly felt like one of those low-key finds you don’t plan for but end up loving. The space is small and cozy, with a clean, minimal vibe that makes it easy to just sit back and relax for a bit. It’s not trying too hard to be trendy, but it still feels modern and thoughtfully put together.

The toast is obviously the star. I ordered one of their signature toast boxes, and it came out perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, with fillings that were generous but not overwhelming. Every bite had that satisfying crunch followed by warm, savory flavor. It’s simple food, but done really well. You can tell they care about quality and consistency.

I also grabbed a drink to go with it, and it paired perfectly — not overly sweet, refreshing, and balanced. The whole experience felt comforting without being heavy. Service was friendly and quick, and even though it’s not a huge place, it didn’t feel cramped.

Overall, Little Toasted is the kind of spot I’d come back to when I want something casual, tasty, and reliable. It’s not flashy, but that’s kind of the charm — just good toast, good drinks, and a relaxed Chicago neighborhood feel.“

“Stumbled upon this place while walking on vacation. Great food!! Service took FOREVER. It was busy but that’s the longest I’ve ever waited for service. Had to take the Old Fashioned up to the bar bc it was poured very short. Still a great place. Great waitress. Live entertainment was setting up too. Would definitely go back.“

“Love this spot. Always a great time and great staff“

“Amazing cocktails. Kudos to the bar crew.
Stellar service and attention to detail. If I could give 10 instead of 5, I would. I think her name was Rey (I apologize if I misheard it but it starts with an R). Sometimes even best restaurants miss the mark on service and she was very attentive from Get Go.

Happy Hour on Saturday, more bars should do this. We were pleasantly surprised and would totally come back.“

“Coming from St. Louis! The BBQ was perfect and the blackened shrimp 😳❤️❤️🙌🏼 Great service, great people, AMAZING food, stay later for the drinks and music. We will be back! It’s a whole vibe!“

“Bourbon on Division is the heart of Division Street. Beyond its gruff exterior (metaphorically), it boasts some of the most eclectic variety of live music and amazing DJ's in all of Chicago. I've met some of the best people in my life there. Management all the way down to security create a fun safe environment. Also 5 stars for the bartending tonight on Emo night. Chris and Krue were great!“
