Our Story

A Cherished Neighborhood Gem Since 1999

From Lakeview to Lincoln Square to Navy Pier and the heart of the Loop - Tiny has been a beloved gathering place for locals and tourists for decades.

What began as a pioneer in the revival of Chicago's cocktail culture has blossomed into a lively downtown oasis. Now nestled along the picturesque Riverwalk, Tiny Tapp & Tiny Cafe invites you to relish in good food, good drinks, and good company while surrounded by the excitement and beauty of the city.

Guided by Our Ethos of Caring for One Another

Though our journey has taken us to different locales over the years, our guiding ethos has remained the same: to care for one another. In a bustling metropolis like Chicago, we believe in the transformative power of small acts of kindness and empathy. From the quality of our drinks and food, to the warmth of our service and atmosphere - we strive to positively influence the wellbeing of our community.

Delighting in simple pleasures TOgether

From morning til evening, enjoy everything from locally sourced coffee and lattes to made-from-scratch breakfast sandwiches, ice cream, contemporary American fare, cocktails and craft beer - all while soaking in the stunning sights along the Chicago Riverwalk.

At Tiny, every moment is an invitation to delight in simple pleasures while in the company of friends, colleagues, and the vibrant energy of our city.
