Revolution Brewing

If Revolution Brewing can get half the cred of Josh Deth's other local restaurant, the bike-messenger haven Handlebar, then he's going to make Logan Square very tipsy. Rehabbing a 100-plus-year-old... read more

Square Bar and Grill

A welcome addition to the latest on-the-rise neighborhood of Avondale, this mellow bar does the basics but does them well. Exposed brick, deep red-toned walls, a bar made from salvaged wood from a ... read more

Rootstock

Smack in the middle of a neighborhood where culinary hopes are commonly raised and crushed with each new rumor, Rootstock appears to have made many think Humboldt Park could be on the rise again. L... read more

The Whistler

It's impossible to be prepared for the sheer tininess of this place, no matter how much you're warned. Started by the dudes of Whistler Records, the bar is either stuffed with flannel-shirted indie... read more

The Orbit Room

Maybe it's the neighborhood, an "emerging" segment of California avenue in the Avondale area bordering Logan Square, but it seems like the one-year-old Orbit Room hasn't quite found its audience. O... read more

Tini Martini

You would never expect this place to be a dance club located on Milwaukee Avenue, but maybe the velvet ropes and huge bouncer at the door give it away just a little. When you walk through the velve... read more

Diversey Rock 'n' Bowl

Where Rock-n-Roll High School meets the 7-10 split. Hall of Famer Earl Anthony's portrait looks down on a scene he probably never could've imagined: Mullets and motleys throwing endless gutter ball... read more

Green Eye

Basically the sister bar of Wicker Park's Lemmings, except that it's cleaner, smaller and less beset by time-ravaged alcoholics. An oasis with a good beer selection for all the hot kids who are tur... read more

California Clipper

What was once a vintage, red-boothed time capsule has lost most of its luster. If you go on an off night, or early enough, the plush booth and mirrored bar / stage really do look pretty damn cool. ... read more

Street Side Cafe

It's the corner spot where everyone knows your name -- well, if you're a local/regular. They have deejays every night of the week playing whatever you may fancy, from rockabilly to house music. Thi... read more

The Mutiny

This dangerously dirty punk bar is what it is, and if you don't like it, then don't go. Well, at least, that's how the regulars -- usually rocked out in Mohawks and dyed hair -- feel about it. They... read more

Whirlaway

A throwback to what Chicago bars all used to look like: similar to what your grandparents' living room decorations would've been in the '70s if your grandparents were blue-collar alcoholics. Cheap ... read more

Quenchers Saloon

If you've decided that nothing's going to wet your whistle like a premium lager from India or Istanbul, this is the place to be. Miraculously under the same ownership for 20 years, Quenchers fashio... read more

Logan Square Auditorium

An old ballroom turned music venue, big names play here for tiny prices. Owing to its cavernous size and rounded ceiling, the acoustics are shite but hey, the sightlines are pretty sweet. Did we me... read more

Helen's Two Way Lounge

Expect a healthy dose of regulars: a pretty diverse spread of working-class regulars, older dudes that look like they've been in a bar 24/7 and a few neighborhood young'uns. The diagonal wall behi... read more

Fireside Bowl

This old bowling alley was once a hallowed mainstay of all-ages punk shows. It also happened to have the worst sound system in Chicago, yet the separate old-man bar area was the place to hang betwe... read more
