Tiny Lounge

Chicagoans waiting for the reopening of this intimate, semi-lux spot are vindicated with a new location in Lincoln Square. Floor-to-ceiling windows, artfully arranged bottles, candlelit circular booths and an impeccably crafted martini list make you realize that you've been missing out for the last two years. Loyal patrons line up outside at 7PM nightly while bartenders inside take just the right amount of time turning out fine-tuned cocktails, dirty martinis with bleu cheese-stuffed olives, or (the infamous) Tiny Cider. Friendly staff, solid small plates menu, 70-plus beer list makes this place feel anything but tiny.
