Atmosphere

At Twelve Bar Lounge both inside and on the outdoor rooftop (open depending on weather), you experience the opportunity to enjoy art of combining locally sourced food ranging from the best burgers in town, uniquely crafted chicken sandwiches, fresh salads with house made dressings with a wide variety of live music. Craft cocktails with house made syrups are crowd pleasers and keep you patrons coming back!

Our Story

Soulful. Artistic. Memorable.

12 Bar and Lounge is the more casual side to Edge. Using the same great Farms and local suppliers, we have yet again artfully elevated the ingredients to create a casual dining experience. And there is no better place than the 12 Bar – both our inside and rooftop Lounge!

With the help and knowledge of Chef Jessica Stevenor a new menu has come to life that is memorable, soulful, and artistic. While 12 Bar has been known for a changing menu, we recognize that many of our customers return to find their favorites on the menu - so we are going to stick to a consistent menu for the foreseeable future. We plan to add specials when Chef Jessica is inspired by seasonal ingredients to create a fun and unique dish.

12 Bar is also known for its Craft cocktails using homemade syrups and mixes. We are also keeping all your favorites and transitioning in a few new seasonal cocktails to compliment the ones you have grown to love!

We feature six beers on tap! We will continue to rotate these to bring our customers new craft beers, but as your favorites emerge, we will continue to keep them on tap.

We offer the most extensive Whiskey, Bourbon, Tequila and Scotch selections in all of Illinois- enjoy them by the glass or ask for a custom flight - our Bartenders will be sure to make a memorable flight for you!

At 12 Bar we remain committed to our local musicians! From Songs & Stories, hosted by Michael Allen on the First Wednesday of every month to weekend music on most Friday and Saturday nights from May - November you will be sure to find some new artists and songs to love.
