"This West Loop “all-day” bar and coffee shop sits right across the street from Ogilvie Transportation Center and hosts one of the largest whiskey collections in Chicago, with over 500 selections, over 30 private barrels, and more than 100 vintage and rare bottles. Slightly Toasted keeps things interesting with its own in-house menu of barrel-aged cocktails, apps, sandwiches, and salads, on top of featuring tacos from Asadito next door (after 2 p.m.). A quick coffee stop on the way into the office and a fun happy hour stop on the way home, Slightly Toasted is the destination for any commuter. Be sure to stop in on a Wednesday for half-off all whiskies." - Aaron Melamed
