Little Joe's — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

Read the negative reviews before going. The bartender, a middle aged white man, was the most racist individual my wife and I have ever seen.

We visited this place on Friday - 08/19, slightly after midnight.

He first refused to serve us tequila because "he didn't have any", and purposefully ignored us for the 10 minutes following our enquiry. He was very calmly engaging in conversations with other customers sitting right next to us at the bar, while we were clearly trying to get his attention.

After what we thought were moments of banter, he did finally pour us a drink of tequila, looked at us right in the eyes, and immediately dumped it in the sink with a stern look.

Very shocking experience. A high level of racism I never thought I would experience in this part of town. I advise everyone...

Great local option for college students looking for inexpensive options to fill up the tank on PBR and Long Island ice teas. The bouncer Andy was on point with security, patting me down thoroughly and paying extra attention to my inner thighs, which is where terrorists usually hide their dangerous club-like femur bones. I appreciate his dedication to safety in this post 9-11 world. As long as we make it a point to go to Little Joe's on $5 PBR pitcher night and try to impress sorority girls with our extra small Hollister shirts and Axe body spray, ISIS...

When you want to simply spend time with friends and enjoy a beverage, nothing beats Little Joe's on Taylor and the food they serve. Since the new owners took over, SICP grads Alexander Haried and Ryan Phelan, there is a fresh, bright spot on Taylor and Morgan Streets in Little Italy. The outside patio is inviting and perfect for warm weather group gatherings. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable and like to innovate with cocktails and new brews. They even hold Trivia and Bingo nights! It's a place reminiscent of "The Good Old Days"...
