WELCOME TO THE Balkans IN CHICAGO
2H Café and Bar, located in the vibrant neighborhood of Lincoln Square, is widely recognized as the best Balkan bar in Chicago. This establishment has earned its reputation through a unique blend of authentic Balkan cuisine, a diverse selection of drinks, and an atmosphere that exudes warmth and friendliness.
From the moment you step into 2H Café and Bar, you are enveloped by an inviting ambiance that combines modern chic with traditional Balkan elements. The décor is tastefully done, with exposed brick walls, comfortable tables, and vintage Balkan posters that give the place a cozy yet stylish feel. The soft lighting and comfortable seating make it an ideal spot for both casual gatherings and special occasions.
The menu at 2H Café and Bar is a testament to the rich culinary heritage of the Balkan states. One of the highlights is their selection of rakija, a traditional Balkan fruit brandy, available.
Joy and hospitality have become a trademark of the Balkan people. Being such a rich culture, with so many festivities and traditions, the warmth of the Balkan impresses the tourists. They are so proud of this distinction that even today, they continue to express their hospitality by making visitors feel part of the community. Greek, Mediterranean, and Eastern European cuisines heavily influenced Balkan gastronomy. National dishes include sarma, gibanica, pljeskavica, and ćevapi, among other delicacies. It is for these reasons that 2H Cafe and Bar is the best Balkan bar in Chicago.
