Our staff picks the absolute best of the best to boil Logan Square down to 10 essential things any visitor must do in the neighborhood

We compiled the top restaurants, bars, shops and attractions in Logan Square. But let's be honest, in a neighborhood as hot and bustling as this, it could take days if not weeks to check off everything on those lists. So we made it even easier for your one-day journey or weekend stay in the cutting-edge enclave by boiling the to-do list down to the essentials. Here are the 10 best things to do in Logan Square (okay, with a couple little detours in Avondale and Humboldt Park, technically).

Scofflaw

  • Logan Square
Scofflaw
Scofflaw
Veterans of the Whistler and Boiler Room joined together to open this bar. One of the two rooms here looks a lot like the Violet Hour, which makes sense since cocktails (specifically gin cocktails) are a focus of the place. The other room is less loungey and truer to what Scofflaw is, which is a top-notch, friendly neighborhood joint.
