TRUCE

"This Bucktown bar is owned by a pair of couples who have created a welcoming and intimate space with thoughtful cocktails. Truce is a breath of fresh air inside a rebuilt space along Damen Avenue. Though the mixology is impressive, with an array of sophisticated ingredients, the space sports several dive bar attributes — folks who don’t like fancy cocktails will still find it comfortable and they just might be tempted to try something new. The menu is littered with coffee cocktails and does the impossible with the RBF, a shot with Jeppson’s Malört that will have skeptics coming back for more." - Ashok Selvam

"This Bucktown bar serves coffee during the day and creative cocktails at night. It’s elegant and the music isn’t too loud so patrons can enjoy conversation. It’s Eater Chicago’s 2024 Bar of the Year." - Ashok Selvam

"This Bucktown pub is an instant classic, a must to bring out-of-town quest thanks to an ever-changing menu of creative cocktails — fun riffs on drinks. Locals will love it for its uncanny ability to make all types of folks. Wear leggings. Wear a dress. Wear jeans. It doesn’t matter — Truce just fits." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman

"Truce is an intimate drinking den that opened before Memorial Day at 1935 N. Damen Avenue in Bucktown. The venue offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff and a well-curated menu of drinks. The drink list, created by David Mor, includes a triple chai daiquiri made with Mount Gay rum and a unique shot called RBF, which features Jeppson’s Malört. Truce also serves coffee in the mornings from Yaggy Road Roasting Company, along with small bites like bagels and overnight oats." - Ashok Selvam

"Truce is a story of four friends, two couples, coming together to create a classy bar in Bucktown where their friends in the industry and elsewhere can congregate." - Ashok Selvam
