Lovely outdoors, drinks, food and service...all wonderful. We will be back!
Great place for cocktails, great atmosphere, they have a small food menu, but its the cocktails that make this place stand out.
Blackened catfish tacos were amazing ans so were the tiny burgers.
Best cheese curds ever. Drinks are all very good too.
Our favorite place for cocktails and apps! Get the Subourban!
Their cocktails are incredible! Strong, and never too sweet. I'm not the biggest fan of their kitchen, though, as GF options are super limited.
Great good, yummy cocktails, rad staff, & cool vibes!! Def a must go in Northcenter!!
Great people. Great food. Great vibe. Amazing owner/staff. LOVE this place!!
The drinks are amazing and I always look pretty drinking them.
Consistently tasty appetizers with creative and well executed cocktails!
You will find me there REGULARLY. Love Tiny.
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.

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.

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.
It's a tiny bar with tiny food and delicious drinks. My favorite is the Subourbon - i love that citrus sweet and sour flavor. The atmosphere is cozy, the place is dark which gives it a romantic atmosphere. The music isn't too loud allowing the patrons to actually have a conversation.
Our local friends took us here because this is their regular hangout. The place is small but doesn't feel like it. Perfect for couples or small groups. Good selection of cocktails with very friendly and attentive staff.
Awesome place! Cheese curds and tiny burgers are the BEST thing on the menu. DO not leave without getting these! THe people that work there are super friendly and really helpful! Ask for Megan when you go in, she's the best server there :)
Really great bar with an awesome selection of booze, including a large number of interesting mixed drink options.
Great staff too -- our waitress was very fun and friendly, and checked in on us regularly despite being the only one I saw on duty, besides the bartender, for the whole space.
Come early, like before 7, because this place is TINY! Just like the name states. However, the vibe is cool, the drinks are amazing, and the food is simply delicious. I ordered the whiskey sours and the bartender made it with such care and flair. Try the cheese fries. It's like they fried it and then baked it. The server got us to order the large, but the large is quite big. It would fed 4 people, so next time order the small and just get more empanadas.
Good cocktail list, short but decent wine list, and ok food. Best thing is the really good service. Reasonably priced. They have a couple of alcoves that nicely accommodated our group of about 12.

Tiny Lounge is, in short, my favorite spot in Lincoln Square. I've been there two times now, and I can't recommend it enough.
The food here is really great. I've had the cheese curds, pizzetta, and empanadas, but the coup de grace are the truffle fries. Any poutine lovers out there will feel right at home with the truffle fries, and the aioli that comes with them is amazing. They also come with a nice house ketchup that's got a good kick to it.
The beer selection is good, not great, but they have a lot of fun cocktails and other drinks to try out. The staff is friendly and helpful, but the best part about Tiny Lounge is really the vibe.
The place itself isn't huge, so it can be hard to get a spot, but it's a nice intimate setting. You have enough space that you don't feel like you're out on a double date with the table next to you, but it also feels very communal (much like a lot of the places in Lincoln Square/Ravenswood).
I'd highly recommend Tiny Lounge as a good first date spot, and you could even double dip and head to Half Acre brewing, as it's right down the street.
Guess what people!!
The Old Fashion has a dash of club soda to finish it off so, to all of you out there not familiar, (I don't know, maybe is a crazy idea) you can ask instead of looking all cute and sophisticated ordering "your awesome drinks".
Oh yeah, overall love this place and I bet you can tell by my noticeable rating.
Cute space and nice menu. Staff is kind and helpful and place is well run.
I am disappointed though that not everything on the menu is Tiny. When I saw they had sliders, I got excited, thinking "TINY Lounge is the theme!!" but it isn't. It's just a small space, not a theme. I mean, nothing against the place but I was disappointed.
The fried cheese curds are the best I've ever had. And the tiny burgers are awesome. The only thing I don't like here are the prices. It adds up quickly.
Great craft cocktails for a reasonable price ($10-12). The lounge is a long narrow bar with lots of bar seating and some booths along the wall. It is the only real craft cocktail bar in the area. I haven't tried much of the food there but the cheese curds are amazing. As far as cocktails go everything i've had has been pretty tasty and the mixologists are well informed and can steer you in the right direction. Im not much of a vodka drinker but the titos hammock is the perfect hot summer drink. All in all Tiny Lounge is a great place to go if you are looking for a craft cocktail in the north center/lincoln square area.
