Lil's Cocktail Lounge
- Neighborhood: Chatham/Avalon Park
- 8022 S. Cottage Grove Ave.
- Chicago, IL 60619
A modest R&B lounge with sparse decor, Lil's is favored by middle-aged singles in this mid-South Side community. The bar is a friendly, family-operated lounge that entertains regulars but also attracts a variety of clubgoers from around the surrounding communities. There is a deejay occasionally, but the jukebox accounts for most of the music. Aside from the sometimes intriguing conversations and the usual pick-up lines, entertainment comes from the video and dart games.

"For the old schoolers this..."

For the old schoolers this is the apex. Lil keeps an eye on everything. The bar is clean & secure. Best wings in the city. Nice dance area ...
