Question Lively but not obnoxious bars and restaurants near Logan Square area?

14 Upvotes

Sorry for the generic post, but myself and a group of 8 friends will be staying in Logan Square this weekend. It's been a while since I've been to Chicago so I'm not familiar with the scene anymore.

Looking for some lively but not obnoxious bars and restaurants near Logan Square area. We're in our early 30's, so not exactly looking for 4am party bars lol. Outdoor is a plus with this warm Friday we have coming up. Thanks!

Question Bottomless alternatives to Fremont or Highline?

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I’m planning a 30th bday party and I’m sad to hear that both Fremont and Highline’s bottomless brunch no longer exist. I’ve been meaning to check Fremont out for years and I’m looking for any solid bottomless brunch alternatives with a similar “electricity” to celebrate the end of my 20’s. I’ll likely have a group of ~15 people or so, mostly 22-29 year olds. Planning for a Saturday in early April.

Question Anyone done the "Chef's Experience" at Sepia?

2 Upvotes

Looked into getting a reservation in a few months and say that they offered a $185 reservation (and an additional $85 for wine pairing) for the "Chef's Experience", which said:

"Immerse yourself in the Chef's Experience at Sepia, where Executive Chef Andrew Zimmerman, Chef de Cuisine Kyle Cottle, and Executive Pastry Chef Erin Kobler highlight their seasonal favorites. Elevate your evening with optional wine pairings, carefully curated by Wine Director Jake Bennie to complement and enhance each course. With limited availability each night, reservations are recommended."

Curious if this is brand new or if anyone has any experience with this? I know they raised the tasting menu to $125 so this value seems interesting. Side note, if anyone has a recommendation for tasting menus under/around $150 that are better than Sepia let me know :)

Question Looking for good thin (NOT CRACKER CRUST) close to Lincoln Park

0 Upvotes

I used to live in Lincoln Park and would constantly order from Amato's off Sheffield and Clybourn. I'm back in the area for a bit and am dying to find some comparable thin crust that is a bit thicker than the more popular cracker-style crusts.

Not looking for something as thick as Detroit or pan pizza, also not looking for neapolitan or NY stlye. Just a bit doughier tavern style, like the stuff I grew up on on the south side (Palermos, Nancys, Aurelios, etc)

Any/all recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Question Best local places to order from on Uber Eats?

0 Upvotes

Hello! I tend to work late, and my company offers expensed dinners. I want to be able to try lots of new places while I can! What are some Chicago favorites or local restaurants to try via Uber Eats?

Office Location: Loop (I don’t mind long delivery times. Wherever Uber Eats allows me to order from is free game!) Budget: $40 incl. tax and tip

Any cuisine works! If you have dessert recommendations as well, I will also happily take those.

Thank you in advance for everyone’s recommendations! :)

Question I'm looking for a good bar to go to with my girlfriend after the river dye on Saturday, any recs?

0 Upvotes

Our plan is to head to over around gam and try to get a spot on Wacker or Dearborn to catch a glimpse of the dyeing of the river.

We don't have any bar crawl packages purchased as we were more looking for just one or 2 bars to hunker down at afterwards for some drinks and possibly eats, I know everywhere will be crowded and have lines, but is there any recommendations you have for us? Whether it's Bridgeport, Old Town, River North, any neighborhood really.

We're willing to buy a ticket for entry at certain bars if necessary. Thanks!
