About
Welcome to Long Room Chicago, a vibrant establishment that beautifully merges the charm of a coffee shop with the lively ambiance of a bar. Nestled at 1612 W Irving Park Rd, this unique venue offers a delightful experience for both coffee aficionados and cocktail enthusiasts alike.
What makes Long Room stand out is its creatively shaped bar, which invites you to explore a variety of drinks meticulously crafted by attentive and speedy bartenders. While many come for the innovative cocktails, like the intriguing Smoke & Crystal and the crowd-favorite Raviol, it is clear that this spot thrives on diversity, showcasing exciting and fun pop-up food offerings that keep the palate guessing. Customer Chelsea Woodmansee highlighted the delicious Quesabeeria and praised the standout salsa, calling it "bomb." The addition of jalapeño honey on her quesadilla only adds to the creative flair that defines Long Room's menu.
But the charm of Long Room doesn’t stop at cocktails. Customers rave about the coffee, which has earned a reputation for excellence thanks to locally-roasted beans and house-made syrups. Mark Yonally, a self-described coffee lover, couldn’t stress enough how exceptional the lattes are, indicating that the commitment to quality extends to both food and beverages. This establishment also offers a rotating menu from different local restaurants, ensuring daily freshness and new culinary experiences. Notably, the pop-up kitchen connection with “Bad Johnny’s Kitchen” results in dishes that are not only delicious but also crafted from homemade, fresh ingredients.
The atmosphere here is just as noteworthy. With its dark lighting and inviting patio, Long Room creates a relaxed yet vibrant environment where you can unwind with friends or indulge in a casual date night. As S Davis mentioned, the service is commendable, further enhancing the overall dining experience. Just be sure to check the kitchen hours, as they vary throughout the day!
