Logan Square's all day Latin American drinks room, coffee at noon and raicilla after dark.
Estereo holds the triangle corner at 2450 N Milwaukee Avenue in Logan Square, an all day bar built around Latin American spirits: pisco, raicilla, cachaca, and agave in depth. The World's 50 Best Discovery list includes it, and Time Out Chicago gave it Best Bar Design at the 2017 Bar Awards.
Day drinkers, remote workers on Dark Matter coffee, and vinyl heads share the room until the Latin records take over after dark. Skip it if you want a dark cocktail den. This is the brightest serious bar in Chicago.
Walk in or contact the bar via official channels. For weekend seating, confirm hours through the bar's site or social pages.
The triangle shaped room runs bright, with garage door walls that open through summer and vintage Latin American vinyl spinning behind the bar. The Infatuation calls it an all day, dog friendly party, which reads accurate by 7pm on a Friday.
The back bar runs deeper into South American spirits than any room nearby. Start with the house serve.
Skip nothing for timing reasons; the room's whole point is that noon and midnight both work.
Laptops and espresso until late afternoon, then a neighborhood crowd that spills through the open walls in summer. Time Out credits the design for making the shift work at both ends of the day.
