But this time, we heard that they had Mingo (Meat Bingo) on the last Thursday of the month, so we had to go! The place was packed, the drinks were plenty, and I did win a round of Mingo, so I definitely left happy! The Mingo caller was so silly and fun! They made everyone feel welcome and the vibes were awesome. Also shoutout to Human Coupon! Our waiter was awesome, even when the place was super packed!

They had an events calendar and craft cocktails we will have to check out in the future!

We came towards the end of the night and many people had already left. They've got an extensive selection of spirits, beer, and they serve food! I went with my usual, grape vodka and sprite, while my friend got a beer. He swears by this place because they have pool. The ambiance was chill and laid-back and the bartender was courteous and kind.

Loved the festive 12-foot skeleton dressed for the season (like a pilgrim). The quirky decor makes it a fun place to start or end a night out in South City.

Where and when I've been transported to isn't quite certain but 1970's feels about right. You could spend an hour browsing the tchotchkes and knick knacks. The space offers plenty of seating at the bar or tables, so bring a friend or two. During the nicer weather, the back patio offers cozy seating with fire pits. The bar is cash only. They offer the standard fare of beer, cocktails, and wine. The service is fast and friendly. Pro tip: come hungry, the restaurant next door offers table delivery via QR code. I have a deep appreciation for community and the businesses that continually invest in the places and people that support them. Camaraderie through events like pot lucks, field day, and other social events is what makes this place a local gem.

Cozy and inviting, a place you don't feel out of place (even for someone as socially anxious as I can be). Drink in the design, then chase it with a draught. I appreciate the constantly rotating selection of lagers and pilsners; each visit is a bit different, with five or six selections ranging from light lagers to hoppy pilsners and occasional baltic porters and cold IPAs. Half pours and slow pours are my favorite way to get the full experience at Little Lager. The bartenders are also very friendly and knowledgeable; I enjoy seeing the community they've created among regulars and I've learned a bit more about different beer styles and their serving methods on my stops in. I've personally recommended Little Lager to friends and coworkers, but there are a few things to keep in mind: the small space is not the best for a group happy hours, there isn't a kitchen to serve food (though they do allow outside food) , and there are very few options for non-beer drinkers (outside of a few packaged ciders, wines, and different ways to experience Chicago's infamous Malort). Beyond that, it's a laid-back spot to visit with one or two friends after work or to experience their regular collaborations with local breweries like Perennial and 2nd Shift. I've been a fan since my first visit, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
