South Shore · Chicago

South Side
served with
soul.

A neighborhood café and bar on Cottage Grove Avenue — where morning coffee meets evening cocktails, and every visit feels like coming home.

More than a stop.
Part of the neighborhood.

BLAQ's sits on one of South Chicago's most iconic corridors — South Cottage Grove Avenue — and has been a gathering place for locals who want a space that feels both elevated and easy.

By day, it's a café: fresh coffee, breakfast plates, and a quiet corner to get things done. By night, the lighting drops, the music shifts, and the bar takes over — craft cocktails, local beers, and good conversation.

We're proud to be part of the South Shore community. Whether you're a regular or just passing through, we want you to leave feeling like you belong here.
