A very average experience. I have been here many times as I live in the area and its basically the only place available that has more than 1 T.V. and plays sports. They are inconsistent though, sometimes they have the volume on and sometimes they play music. I went in for a Hawks game in the early evening on a weekday and asked the server if she could put on the volume. She said she could not because the manager likes the music to be on... I could understand if it was later at night on a weekend but there were only a handful of people there.
The food is absolutely mediocre, imagine bar food that isn't - in anyway at all memorable and you have the food here. It didn't impress me but I have no complaints either except that it was slightly overpriced.
The interior is very pleasant and clean, overall a very nice space.
Go here if you live in Logan Square and feel like a more traditional bar scene or watching a game.
Logan Bar and Grill is a very meh experience. Â
The service is questionable and the food is just okay. Â Of the few times that I have been here our service has never been quite right and the bar has nothing to offer. Â If you are coming to enjoy a football game than don't expect a wide variety of choices. Â They only have a few sparsely placed televisions throughout the place. Â
The food is alright but is made worse by the service. Â I have been here on an occasion where it took us an extra 30 minutes to leave because of a split bill issue. Â I have also had a dish where there was a piece of a bone still in the meal. Â The waitress just laughed off the event and made nothing of it. Â
For a central location and inviting set up I would wish the service was a little bit better. Â This Logan Square location would drive me to come here so much more often than I do currently if they stepped it up.
Super chill. I felt like I was in a ski lodge bar in Colorado the whole time. My only regret is that we didn't get one of those seats by the fireplace (was it a fireplace? it looked cozy). Regardless, they had a good variety of table sizes and enough bar space too.
Our waitress was friendly and did a good job explaining the beer list and the specials. To complete the ski lodge feeling, their beer special was the Avalanche amber ale from Breckenridge Brewery, for only $4.50. We were hungry and the Margherita pizza was a good appetizer style pizza to tide us over - great flavor but SUPER thin (impressively thin, actually, because it wasn't flimsy at the same time). I felt like the price was right overall, and since I'm in love with the atmosphere, I'd be happy to come back.
I stopped by last week for a few drinks with my girlfriend and step sister. Had a great time, good drinks. Prices are average for a decent bar, not cheap or a dive bar but a good bar with great food. I went there a few months ago to watch a bears game and had an awesome pulled pork sandwich on a pretzel bun. They also have a good list are hard to find and expensive beers. Try the Dragon's Milk if you like strong beers..
Review Source:Crap hole is a good description. Â Just lame and boring, mediocre service, bad music, looks like a thousand other sports bars. Â Ordered chicken sandwich, get this, no condiments, just a piece of crappy chicken on a bun. Â I don't think there was a side either and the coke was flat.
Won't go back, too many great places to eat/drink within walking distance, a waste of a good space.
I've been living in Logan Square for 5 years and live a block away from this crap hole. Time and time again I give it one more chance because the place looks great. The patio is awesome and the decor is nice but oh man does this place suck. The food is mediocre and the beer selection is okay but the last few times the draft beer tasted like crap. I had to have them return it and get me a bottle or a mixed drink instead. My friend got a dirty martini and it seemed like some maraschino cherry juice might of gotten mixed with olive juice..?IDK it was just so gross. I have come here about 10 times in the past 2-3 years and I'm always disappointed. The location is great and the establishment itself is nice but I'm praying some other delicious restaurant/beer garden buys it out soon.
Review Source:Terrible Management
So we had dinner at Revolution and a few drinks, but having never really hung out in this area, we wondered to Logan Bar and Grill. What a disaster. Revolution was much better.
Our party of 9 arrive at the bar. There are people there, but still plenty of space. We post up at the back bar and start ordering. Meanwhile, two of the girls in our group sit down at the 3 top closest to the bar. Â Oh, the travesty...
1) Once they sat down, they asked the waitress if it was okay for them to sit when we were ordering from the bar. Â The waitress was perfectly nice. She said it was fine and reserved the right to ask them to move if it got busy. Perfect, no big deal.
2) Bartender informs us she won't charge us for our drinks because that is the waitresses table. Huh? Ok, send her with the bill then, who cares.
3) Manager walks by and in passing makes a snide remark that we can't sit at the bar and at the table. Â What?!? Â There are 9 of us dude. Â Your staff was cool with it, but you're being a d-bag.
Eventually he comes by again and cries some more about ordering from the bar at this table. Â We inform him we're gonna leave and he rudely walks away. The waitress brings our check, comps a drink and apologizes for her manager. Â Maybe she should of been in charge, b/c jackass has no idea how to be in a customer service industry. Will never go again and from the sounds of it, others have had a problem with this bald guy too.
It's election night. We've just come in with a party of 12, ready to eat and drink and watch the votes roll in.
They're playing the Bulls game.
Oh, it's cool. It's not like tonight will determine the fate of the nation.
We ask repeatedly, politely, if we can get just the tv closest to our table switched to the election. Waitress says manager says the owner says no.
The odd thing about the Logan is that the clientele there is somehow completely different here than at all the other bars off the California stop. Seriously, it's as if a Lincoln Park bar was magically teleported right into the middle of Logan Square.
Solid beer selection (Crabbies Ginger Beer!), decent bar grub, cozy-if-generic ambiance. I have had lovely service here, but I have also had a female bartender ignore me for 10 minutes while she organized the bar area. Overall, the staff isn't the warmest or most attentive.
The only reason I visit the Logan so often is because my friend works there. If you go, ask for the really nice server-she's one of, like, two...
I've always been pretty happy this establishment popped up in my neighborhood. Â I've lived in Logan Square long before it was gentrified and safe to ride a bike and seeing places like the Logan, Boiler Room and Rev Brew pop up has excited me. Â The Logan by far has been my hands down favorite. Â Great beer list and the menu has not let me down yet. Â The atmosphere is very chill and I've only been cramped during the usual times like Bulls playoffs. Â It is very spacious inside and usually there is more than enough seating. Â Even sitting at the bar isn't a bad option.
I credit the Logan as being the first place I ever tried Delirium Tremens and Buffalo style calamari and since I love em both.  There is no parking lot and it can be hard for someone new to the area to come across parking but I live in walking distance and since I know the area well I never struggle within the neighborhood to find a space.  Even with it  being across the street from the California blue line stop you can sneak in after work for a delirium and quick buzz.  The drink specials are always okay too.
The only time the Logan dropped the ball was for my golden birthday party. Â I would recommend staying away from their party packages because we had given them more than a months lead to plan a $35 wristband package and though they assured me I would have a few tables in the back for the alotted time they total screwed me when I arrived on time with a party of 20+. Â They began to collect money and then had none of the drinks we liked on hand, no space reserved and the manager/ supervisor had an "i don't even care" attitude. Â He was a bald dude. Â I won't ever forget that disaster. Â But given that I wasn't going to ruin my birthday night I told baldy to up the money and everyone took their $35 next door to Foremost Liquor and we had a good old fashioned house party. Â It's always bittersweet for me frequenting the Logan but like I did say I like the place and its selection.
It's just a love/hate relationship. Â I love to hate the Logan but hate to love it as well. Â After my first Delirium I usually forget about it anyways.
Lets keep this one simple:
Plus:
Beer selection
Pulled Pork Sandwich
Comfy seats
TVs
Quick seating
Minus:
Service is occasionally slow
Beer of the month selection normally sucks
Weak specials
The fact that it is identical to Northside
Food options are average at best
Come here if you are around is Revolution is too full or you don't have cash for Boiler Room
Was introduced to this place by my friend, and we love coming here. They have a great selection and variety of craft brews (which is where i fell in love with Purple Haze by Abita), not to mention the food they have is also awesome.
I'm not sure where to even begin because this place is overall very cozy. The atmosphere, ambiace, food, drinks, staff.....flat out awesome!!!
We also went to a New Year's party here and for $69 we were able to get food, party favors, and drinks (top shelf included, just not shots). It was definitely one of the best new year's we've had. The bartender Eddie is such a sweetheart, and the owner Josh is very nice!
I recommend this bar for anything.
The food was good the waitress nice but there was much more amiss.
My margarita was too sour and undrinkable. The waitress gladly brought me a Amstel light but it too was off. Tasted old as though it had been sitting in the bottom of the cooler way too long and the beers hadn't been rotated. Not the waitresses fault but couldn't bring myself to complain to her again. We had already been asked to shuffle ourselves from the patio dining area after we had JUST started to EAT.
The waitress unfortunately failed to mention to us that the patio would be closing soon when we ordered our food. When the Saturday night door guy came out to roust everyone inside he refused to even help us with moving the plates of food we just received along with our drinks and such. He didn't even offer to get a waitress/ busboy to help if he couldn't be bothered. He seemed pretty unapologetic and used to dealing with the 20 something drunkards I would imagine they can get late at night. Not the customer service and hospitality expectations we had being the 30-45 year old crowd we were.
And then the "Gentleman" at the door topped it all off as we were leaving by making a gangster like knife stabbing motion in my girlfriend's back as she walk by him!!! Wow! I was so shocked I had to stop and confront him  about his unnecessary behavior. He said he simply "didn't care and we didn't matter".
That's too bad. And a fine way to cap off our otherwise wonderful night. Needless to say, due to the shocking behavior and indifference of our neighborhood eatery, we will be dining elsewhere.
Never ever ever EVER had worst customer service. Â And that is saying a lot.
We live right down the street from this place. Â Though we are aware there are much better places to go in our 'hood, our out of town friends were hungry after watching our set at Lollapalooza. We run a business in Logan Square as well. Â We eat out often and take clients to eat/drink in our area. Â We decided to give our money, our time, and our patience to the first place we glanced upon after getting off the train. Won't happen again. And in the words of the door guy, "I could care less". Â Great attitude. Â I'm sure it will take you far.
"You have to move ALL of your food and drinks inside (on your own)" - 2 minutes after we receive our order. I asked for help but no one seemed to care. Classy right? Its also quite amazing, especially in this economy, that I was 'stabbed in the back' right after I dropped an arseload of money for horrible drinks/food/service. Â (My girlfriend described how 'door guy' made a motion of stabbing and twisting a knife as I turned around and walked out).
Yeah I was a bit of a smart alleck - saying "your welcome" as he played with his phone while we walked out, knowing we were unhappy. Â But we run a business too. Â We work HARD to make sure our peeps are satisfied. Â This place has been here for awhile and its going straight downhill. Â Enjoy the ride Logan! Â We'll be sure to share the love with everyone we know.
Was introduced to this place by a local in the Logan area of Chicago and was pleasantly surprised. Â
The outdoor seating was a combination of wrought-iron tables and chairs, wooden ones and then soft pillowy couch-like lounge seats that butted right up to a few tables (that's where I sat). Â Was a windy one, of course, but the patio is smooshed between two buildings so the breeze just created a wonderful tiny gust needed on a 99 degree day.
I had the best Bloody Mary chock full of spices, with a huge skewer of sausage, cheese, olives and pickles, mmmmmmmm....
Next on the agenda was lunch, I chose the fish and chips, great choice but the tartar sauce should be served in larger abundance as you get HUGE pieces of fish. Â On a side note, this was served with fresh steamed sweet peas and fries, what an odd yet completely yummy combination!!!!
Last, but not least, was dessert, banana cake for me please!!! three layers with cream cheese frosting served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, lovely.
I cannot recommend this place more, (even the bathroom were nice and well kept, and quite large).
It is right off the train line as well, so would be a great place to meet up with friends (which is what we did).
Servers were nice, attentive, my water glass was never empty and (as we stayed for a long time) when our servers shift was up, the next one came over and introduced herself in a non-intrusive and lovely way.
I used to teach near by. Coworkers and myself would come here frequently. They usually have great drink special, a beer of the month and incredible food specials for each day. As many times as we have come here there is always something new and amazing on the menu. I have never had a bad meal or experience here.
Great outdoor patio space.
The staff is great but there are one or two waitresses who don't really have a sense of humor or care to interact with their tables.
A late Sunday lunch on a sunny day at Logan B&G is all one really needs to round out a weekend.
I stopped in before catching my flight back to Nashville and let me give you the digs on a vegetarian's experience at Logan's. Maybe, I shouldn't refer to Logan's B&G as "Logan's" as it conjures up memories of throwing peanut shells on the floor, but no matter.
Located on a bustling corner in Logan Square, Logan B&G has a killer vibe. A combination of an awesome patio and indoor tall top tables surrounding a large wooden bar sets the mood for watching sports (indoors) or chatting with friends (outdoors). Menu has a decent selection and as soon as I set my eyes on sweet potato fries, it was over. I was sold; hook, line and sinker. it came in this awesome torpedo looking cone with two types of sauces on the side for immersion. For my meal, I selected the vegetarian black bean burger. Excellent flavor. Super impressed. Prices were decent and that ain't bad either.
Solid choice for a bar.
I haven't had the food here, but I liked the extensive beer list. One knock against the place: running out of your special early in the night.
With nice weather, the bar opens up to a pretty big beer patio. We sat inside, but very close to the patio and it felt like we were outside because of all of the open doors.
I did enjoy the trivia hosted here on Sunday nights. A lot of teams show up, and it's pretty competitive. I had a lot of fun though, and will definitely head back for another trivia game soon.
I am usually only here during Sunday nights for the trivia.
This is probably the best place to go with or without friends on a Sunday night in Logan Square. The food is ok and the prices of the beer and such are not the greatest but the trivia really makes up for everything. It is a lot of fun. I recommend trying this place on a Sunday night around 7:30. Get a table early, trivia starts at 8.
Well, the atmosphere was nice and the prices were reasonable. Â My chorizo quesadillas were great, but the chicken fingers my husband got were not so great.
However, they miss out on points for beer service. Â Buyer beware. Â Their pint glasses are only 12 ounces. Â I ordered a 16 oz daisy cutter, and I was given the draft in what seemed to be a pint glass. Â However, my husband poured his 12 oz beer into the his glass and it was filled to the brim. Â When I pointed it out, she tried to convince me that all pints are on average 12 oz, and that they used to have 16 oz cans of the beer and that was the shortage. Â It's fine if you are going to serve people 12oz glasses, but at least get the description right on the drink menu. Â
Call me old fashioned, but I expect my pints to be pints.
I will admit that as a Logan square resident, I am a bit spoiled. The Logan bar and grill has a lot of established competition nearby so I tried to cut them some slack. My wife and I were in the mood for some straight forward bar food. We ordered some simple appetizers. Chicken fingers, wings and pulled pork quesadillas - stuff that's pretty hard to mess up. The the batter on the chicken fingers tasted like dirt, and I don't mean that they tasted bad, they tasted specifically like soil. Very odd. The wings were ok but the pulled pork quesadillas were bland. I didn't think you could make pulled pork bland.
To top it all off the price was way out of line with what they actually serve. Not expensive but compared to rocking horse, you can get better food for the same amount of money.
Thanksgiving serves as one of the high holidays of the year and coincidentally one of the biggest nights of drinking. When my friend chose Logan Bar and Grill, I was really excited to try someplace new. Logan Bar is situated right by the California Blue Line, you'll find the place with a very cool sign out front and modern interior with contemporary pop art covering their walls. My favorite thing about Logan Bar was their pixelated Daliesque Gary Coleman art on the wall by the main bar. After this, I can't think of anything else I liked about Logan Bar and Grill.
Coming in there was no hostess to seat us so we decided to sit at the bar in the back. Strangely enough this fully stocked bar complete with taps and a glitzy spread of liquor was not really a bar at all - no bartender would be working that bar tonight as we were informed.
Logan Bar - is this a restaurant or is this a bar? I'm sorry but this place has a major identity crisis as we were told we could not sit at the bar with our increasingly growing group of people because we were blocking the walkway. It is quite amazing that the servers and management could not figure a way to sit 20 people down all in the same spot on a night that was not even that crowded and we were moved to a spot that could not sit all of us.
I cry foul as one friend went so far as to order a beer from the bar, have the bartender pour the beer and was told he could not have it because he was sitting at a table. Hey! If your server is too slow and unable to serve drinks maybe someone else wants to serve a drink!
Picture this, 20 of my friends are at the bar (or is it a restaurant with no hostess or anyone capable of sitting us all together) with two friends eating at the bar, four friends sitting at a table, me with two friends sitting in a completely different room, and ten friends sharing two tables separate from everyone else. What a great way to spend the holidays chopped up all across the bar (or is it a restaurant?) so the servers can all get paid and the customer does not get what they want except more or more explanations of rules that make no sense. Top this off with lousy service, lackluster food and you have my lowest 1-star rating of all time.
Do not waste your money or time at Logan Bar. Should anyone suggest to me to ever frequent this bar ever again, I will recount that it was on Thanksgiving 2011 that Logan Bar perfectly ruined one of my favorite holidays with poor customer service, bland food, and a devil may care attitude to customers. Stay away from here and you shall gladly give thanks later!
They have done some alterations with the interior but the place still retains  that back woods, homey holmes, comfy cozy atmosphere you look for on cool fall evenings in Chicago...several fireplaces and excellent lighting are housed in an almost ski chalet sort of feel (at least in the back of the bar) with the vaulted glass sort of atrium.
This is a nice place to come on an off weekday evening, kick back with a few beers and enjoy decent bar food at a good price whilst browsing WiFi.
Never been on the weekend so cannot say what the crowd is like then but when i've gone is always a low key vibe, place maybe being half full, perfect.
I've always been a fan of Logan Bar and Grill, but my last visit absolutely killed it.
I went for dinner and drinks with the bff and we were both looking forward to sharing a plate of their fried calamari. When we placed our order the waitress let us know they weren't serving it that day because the batch wasn't so fresh - appreciated her honesty.
Well later that night, we spotted a different waitress serving a plate of calamari and were super confused! When we asked our waitress what was up with that, she eventually let it slip that the other gal didn't know the calamari was bad until the order was ready and didn't want to go back to tell the patron they couldn't have their calamari. GROSS! The fact that this chick would rather serve shady seafood, than be honest about screwing up is horrible. Also, why did the cooks even make it?
Needless to say, I'm over this place and I'll stick to Revolution Brewery around the corner.
The bar itself is pretty standard and nothing special. Â (The fake plants everywhere is a little much, though).
We were in the 'hood scoping out Logan Square as a potential place to put down some roots. Â Our bartender, a LS resident of several years, was so nice and told us all about the neighborhood, some of her favorite places to go, and gave us a pretty honest and thorough assessment. Â
Awesome service, but otherwise it's pretty much just a bar.
Much like its sister restaurant, The Northside, Logan Bar and Grill is definitely A-OK! Lots of TV's, standard bar food, good draft beer selection, so-so service.
The Logan interior looks identical to Northside  which is just fine. Lots of seating and two bar areas. Not sure if they have the NFL ticket, but I DO know that they have TBS.  I think one TV is forever on TBS....
I dig it. It's a great place to get your sports on!
I don't particularly know why but I really dug this place.
A last minute Supper Club stop on a rainy Monday evening and it was perfect. Â Sitting in the adjacent room with the glass ceiling actually made it feel like it was bright and happy outside instead of the miserable mess it was. Â
I wish I lived closer to this place, I would definitely stop by for a beer and some quick dinner. Â I had the tuna wrap and it gave me the impression it was healthy as well as delicious. Â Sweet potato fries, hell yes. Â Extensive beer list, double yes.
Awesome server who basically told my husband he was a creep for talking extensively about his balls (plate of meatballs, y'all... I promise), she's my new BFF.
I really like this place for a few important reasons:
1) It is steps away from The Boiler Room
2) They have pretzel rolls
3) It has a pretty sweet design. There is an almost seamless flow from the inside to the outside. Many places try to have a hip patio area or beer garden or something, but this place got it just right. If you've never been, then definitely try to go when there is nice weather.
4) Combined with The Boiler Room, it makes me want to settle down. I'm the type that likes to patron many different bars and don't really call any specific one my go-to place. I don't even live particularly close to this bar, although it is easily accessible via Blue-line. I could change my bar hopping ways for this bar.
Admittedly, I wasn't a fan of Logan Bar and Grill when I first moved back to the hood in 2009. With the recent addition of other restaurants to the area, Logan has stepped up its game for the better.
After arriving into Chicago well past midnight from a long non stop flight, we were hungry. The last time we had an official meal, it was around noon Pacific time. I remembered that two area establishments stay open late, so we figured that we could get a bite to eat. My husband picked Logan knowing my poor review years ago and promised me that it had improved.
We sat down at an open table near the second bar area. Our waitress got us the late night food menu to get something in our system after a long flight and even longer time without food. My husband got the black bean crusted chicken fingers while I got the pulled pork quesadilla. I have to say that they really hit the spot and were delicious. This was not the food that I remembered from years ago. My quesadilla was flavorful and tasty, not mediocre like before. My husband loved his black bean chicken fingers. It's his new favorite item on their menu.
So I can be swayed by their new menu changes to see a repeat visit in the future. Glad to see that they stepped up their game as the neighborhood grows and changes.
OK, this place is growing on me, mostly because of Sunday night trivia.
Dan the Trivia Man is awesome. Â The team trivia here is hard (in a good way) and there's a lot of regular teams that come every week, so the competition is good. Â
The drinks specials are nice (always a decent $4 monthly special) and they have a few good cocktails (that change somewhat regularly). Â I like the daily specials, too, because you can get sausage on a pretzel roll or a great beet salad (not regular menu items).
Burgers are pretty solid (especially if you order them on a pretzel roll) and they make some good sweet potato fries.
Prices are reasonable and you win money if you are 1-4th place in trivia. Â Awesome. Â The trivia and the good beer prices keep us coming back here every Sunday... literally.
