Parson's Logan Square is a fried chicken and fish patio bar known for Negroni slushies, Nashville hot chicken, and one of the most dog-friendly outdoor spaces in the neighborhood. On warm days the red-and-white umbrellas, picnic tables, and easygoing service turn it into an all-afternoon hangout.

Bungalow by Middle Brow is a bakery-brewery hybrid where long-fermented sourdough pan pizzas share space with house beers and natural wines.

An all-day Logan Square salumeria and café where house-cured charcuterie, pâtés, and hearty sandwiches deliver a French-accented bistro feel without white tablecloths. Patio seating, strong coffee, and a tight wine and aperitif list make it as useful for afternoon boards as for casual date nights.

A Logan Square French wine bar and bistro built around a serious bottle list, well-made cocktails, and concise plates like tartines, fries, and a few larger snacks. Locals treat it more as a place to drink and graze than to have a full coursed dinner, especially during its structured happy hour.

The Welcome Back Lounge is a late ’70s and ’80s-themed cocktail bar where discounted shots-and-a-beer combos and approachable mixed drinks headline a weekday happy hour. An outdoor bus bar, backyard games, and bar-food staples make it as much about playful nostalgia as serious cocktails.
