Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Chicago’s Fulton Market lies Joe’s Imports, a modern interpretation of an old-world Italian Wine Bar. Sitting at the main bar’s long marble countertop, guests can order bite-sized snacks and sip the night away with wine recommendations from Joe himself, who prefers to organize his list by flavor profile and variety instead of brand name.

The space is intimate and inviting, with warm woods, cozy banquets, aged brick, and modern European furnishings throughout. A hand-written wine list on an antiqued mirror, vintage ads, decorative chandeliers, and worn painted murals give the impression that Joe’s has been around forever. Perfect for a spontaneous glass of wine you didn’t know you liked, Joe’s brings a little taste of modern-day Italy to the West Loop.
