Lil' Chicago Deli & Pub - Middletown

Great staff, cool decor, simple bar menu options. Cool dive, but a bit great. Cheese curls are crispy and amazing and served with a honey mustard sauce game changer!

Loves the new renovation. The food is typical bar food that I was not drunk enough to be remarkable, although I enjoy it as my only option. Bartenders are friendly and they have a jukebox.

Biased because I work here, but the bar itself is very gentle and yet charming and funny. The staff is great; friendly funny and attractive and the drinks are quickly and definitely free

I loved eating. Good drinks. Our server was attentive and funny. My first visit was amazing. And it's a nice place to eat or drink.

This is a hole in the wall bar....it was apparently the first gay bar that opened on Halsted in the 70's. It was the first place we walked to when we arrived in Chicago on a Sunday around 5/6pm and it was mostly empty and quiet. We got a drink and played a game of pinball and just relaxed and talked for a bit. We are from Kentucky, it was our first time in Boystown, and the bartender, Jim, was super friendly and funny and gave us local area info. One of the patrons bought us some drinks and we stayed and chatted with a handful of folks for a couple of hours. I'm not sure if it picks up at night, but if you are looking for a quiet afternoon break with friendly LGBT family that made some out of towners feel right at home, this is your place!
