Park & Field 8.3
Logan Square
Park & Field is a vintage-styled sports bar built around a huge firepit-lined patio where happy hour beers, cocktails, and bar snacks stretch into long afternoons. Brunch buffets, game-day crowds, and a flexible food menu make it a default choice when a group wants screens and outdoor space.
Must-Try Dishes: Park Burger, Buffalo Chicken Nuggets, Skirt Steak Chili
Scores:
Value: 7.5 Service: 6.7 Consistency: 8.5 Food Quality: 8.2 Atmosphere: 8.9 Cultural Relevance: 8.1
What makes it special: Massive, dog-welcoming patio sports bar where firepits and games define happy hour.
Who should go: Friends wanting TVs, drinks, and a big, social patio scene.
When to visit: Sunny afternoons or early game-time slots to secure patio tables.
What to order: Park Burger, buffalo chicken nuggets, skirt steak chili with beer.
Insider tip: Book patio tables for big game days; walk-ins fill quickly in season.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on nearby residential blocks; generally easier earlier in the afternoon but fills quickly during big games or weekend brunch. No valet.
Dress code: Casual and patio-friendly — jerseys, jeans, and athleisure are common; layers recommended for firepit seating.
Noise level: Moderate to loud — conversational on slower afternoons, but loud and TV-driven during major games.
Weekend wait: 20–45 minutes on busy game days; shorter waits outside peak sports events.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait except during warm-weather patio rushes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — salads, snacks, and a few bar-food staples can be made meat-free.
Vegan options: Limited — some sides and salads may be adaptable; check with staff for substitutions.
Gluten-free options: Partial coverage — select items and modifications are available, but cross-contact is possible in a bar-kitchen environment.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual, activity-style dates — the patio, firepits, and TVs create a social vibe, but it can be loud during games.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes — walk-ins are common, but patio and firepit tables fill early on sunny days and major sports weekends.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes during daytime and early evenings — open patio space and casual food work well for families; late nights and big-game crowds skew adult-oriented.
Best For
Better for: Large groups, outdoor patio hangs, casual drinks, and game-day viewing with space to spread out.
Skip if: You want quiet conversation, chef-driven food, or an intimate indoor setting.
Park & Field 8.2
Logan Square
Park & Field is a vintage-styled sports bar built around a sprawling, 6,000-square-foot patio with firepits, games, and a dedicated pup menu. Brunch buffets, game-day crowds, and bottomless drink deals make it more about atmosphere and volume than fine dining, but it reliably covers bar-food cravings.
Must-Try Dishes: Park Burger, Buffalo Chicken Nuggets, Skirt Steak Chili
Scores:
Value: 7.7 Service: 6.8 Consistency: 8.5 Food Quality: 7.9 Atmosphere: 9 Cultural Relevance: 8.2
What makes it special: A massive, dog-welcoming patio sports bar with games, firepits, and bottomless brunch.
Who should go: Groups wanting sports on TV, drinks, dogs, and outdoor space.
When to visit: Weekend brunch or game days when the patio and TVs buzz.
What to order: Park Burger, buffalo chicken nuggets, skirt steak chili with a local beer.
Insider tip: Reserve ahead for brunch, especially with a larger group and pups, to lock in patio seating.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only on nearby residential and commercial blocks; it can be competitive during games and weekend brunch. No valet.
Dress code: Casual and patio-friendly — athleisure, jerseys, and jeans are common.
Noise level: Loud during game days and busy brunch; moderate to lively on off-peak afternoons — conversation is easiest away from TVs or on the patio during quieter hours.
Weekend wait: 20–45 min on busy patio-weather or game days; quicker in colder months or off-peak evenings.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait; seating is usually available indoors or on the patio.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — salads, veggie-focused bar snacks, and rotating brunch items, though it’s not a dedicated veg spot.
Vegan options: Limited — a few sides and customizable items; options improve during brunch but still modest.
Gluten-free options: Partial — some items can be modified (bunless burger, salads), but cross-contact is likely in a busy bar kitchen.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual or activity-focused dates than intimate ones — the patio, games, and dogs create a fun, social vibe but it can be loud on game days.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes, especially on weekdays or outside peak games — but expect a wait for patio tables during warm-weather weekends and brunch unless you arrive early.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes during daytime and brunch hours — outdoor space and casual food work well for families, but evenings and big game crowds can feel loud for younger kids.
Best For
Better for: Large dog-friendly patio gatherings, sports viewing with groups, and social brunches with lots of outdoor space.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal, chef-driven food, or strict dietary controls — or you dislike crowds and game-day energy.
