Tiny Lounge

Hands down these are the best cheese curds you can find in Chicago! The batter is an extremely lite tempura batter. They don’t squeak but it’s close enough! The Tiny Burgers were pretty good and the grilled cheese that a friend ordered looked pretty awesome too. A nice ‘tiny’ place to add to your list of places to go!

I'm going to miss this place! Great service, food, cocktails, & atmosphere. My favorite is their cocotini. Their last day is 12/31/18. Go visit their other locations! Tiny Tapp on the Riverwalk and Tiny Tavern on Navy Pier.

How has it taken me this long to come in??? Actually, I know the answer...it's because I have to walk past Fountainhead and I usually just stop there :) Anyways, this is a neighborhood gem for sure. Seats were intimate. The whole space felt very small, hence the name, and intimate. I enjoyed a great girls' night in this little semi-private alcove in the back. Service was slightly slow at times, but it was a full bar. The drinks were fun and the menu looked great. Truffle fries were fantastic! Old Fashion was alright. It's not on the menu, and I probably shouldn't have tried to go outside the menu.The other drinks I had were bourbon something or other - sweet, but easy drinking. Delightful evening! Will most definitely be back!

Great atmosphere and vibe. The owner brought out our food and explained the details of each dish- you can tell he loves what he does. The Tiny Burgers were absolutely delicious, dare I say one of the best burgers I've ever had? Quite possibly. Definitely coming back!

One of those odd shaped places you find on Chicago with is not very wide, but quite long. The decor has light wood tones which brightens up the place. Decent bar menu, no one else in my party ate, but I had the catfish tacos. They were good, and just the right amount of food for me. I ordered a gin and tonic and they offered to put in cucumber instead of lime. I tried it, and loved it, made the drink so refreshing. The music was fitting for older adults, seventies rock, David Bowie, talking heads, etc. It was loud enough to hear, but not too loud that you could not talk. We talked for hours and had a few drinks. My final bill was much smaller than I expected. I might make this hangout place, the staff there was excellent.

I've been going to Tiny Lounge for almost three years now. I've had two birthdays here, and I always bring along co-workers and friends when they're tired of typical bars and want to try something new and away from downtown. Lighting is dim, place is tiny, and the music is on point. It's impossible to have a bad meal here. Every dish, and I think I've had them all, is amazing. The cheese curds and their seasonal pizzettas stand out as my favorites. I wish they would keep the warm spinach salad permanently but that's my only real gripe. TL also really puts effort into their seasonal drink menu, using unique ingredients, and EVERY BARTENDER KNOWS HOW TO MAKE THE DRINK. This is so freaking important - I was a server in a restaurant where people constantly complained that the recipes were inconsistent and they were right! Everybody is well-trained and friendly. It can be extremely busy on some nights but I'm not really an impatient person. I had one issue here regarding a period where service was lacking but I spoke up to the manager (who is always around and amazing) and the problem was resolved next time I came in. I'm super impressed with this on top of everything else I already raved about. Tiny Lounge, I can't quit you.

Love this place, perfect for an after work cocktail. The drink selection is creative and fun. Food is also amazing, order the cheese curds! You won't be disappointed. A small, but nice outdoor patio is available as well.

The drinks were EXCELLENT. Service was good. Unfortunately the vibe was dull. Went there with a group of friends after dinner. The music was almost nonexistent, low volume and I can hear people's conversations from a table 6ft away. Our group had a nice time but had there been music and elevated atmosphere we would've stayed longer, meaning bought more drinks and spend more $$$$$. Try the cucumber hammock drink......AWESOME.
