Drinks & Nightlife

Comfy tiki bar a block and a half away. Get there early (4:00 pm) for a pre-dinner drink and avoid the wait!

It's great, but the wait can be brutal. There's a side bar (the OSB) on Schubert that has a more limited drink menu and no food, but you can just pop in and get a drink without committing 2 hours.

Very inviting with friendly service, and their cocktails are solid. It's more of a small plate food menu so might want to plan for dinner elsewhere.

A better liquor store option than Logan Liquors, just not as convenient. But if you're walking that direction anyway...

A very thorough selection and the closest thing to a full-blown grocery store we have in the immediate area. Note that it's primarily organic, independent stuff--if you want a Diet Coke you'll need to go to the Foodsmart, but if you want healthier stuff you come here.

Only a handful of places specialize in wine in Logan Square, and Webster's does it well.

On game nights it can be crazy, but on non-game nights it's a quaint little bar with a surprisingly good burger and a commendable old fashioned.

I certainly encourage you to try a locally-owned coffee shop, but if it's Starbucks you want, it's Starbucks you shall have! Take a beautiful walk down the boulevard and enjoy their huge patio.

Arts & Culture

It's small (only 4 screens), but the programming is pretty good and the bar is fantastic. Beautifully restored a few years ago.

Sightseeing

Otherwise known as "that big column with the eagle on top." The symbol of Logan Square--it's worth walking by to check out the engravings around the base.
