Whiskey, craft beer, coffee, and innovative toasts & sandwiches


























"Slightly Toasted in the West Loop serves alcohol. It also (unsurprisingly) serves a variety of toasts, along with salads and sandwiches. The space is casual, and it’s good for getting a bite to eat, and then just deciding to stay the rest of the day to work. As a bonus, from 11am to 2pm they have a lunchtime Happy Hour - with $5 draft beer, $6 Old Fashioneds, and $7 glasses of wine." - josh barnett, adrian kane

"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

"Part of Toasted Hospitality’s portfolio, this concept is slated for a new iteration on the venue’s first floor in an 80-seat room that formerly served as the Pedersen Room. Owner Art Mendoza originally planned to open this location before the third-floor revamp but delayed those plans due to the pandemic; he now aims to launch early next year when downtown traffic and theater attendance recover." - Ashok Selvam
"Looking for a reliable spot that helps you save cash on coffee in the West Loop? Slightly Toasted boasts unlimited coffee plans, making it a home away from home. The expansive food menu and half-off whiskey Wednesdays don’t hurt, either." - Elizabeth Atkinson
