The Whistler

A hip-to-the-scene bar in Logan Square with local art, live music and fresh cocktails.

The young and fetching congregate here, so expect nothing short of pretty and preening. Even the rotating art on the walls reflects the urban stylishness of the 20-and 30-something regulars. They're attracted to the neighborhood joint's diverse nightly line-up of live music, DJs spinning punk, soul and Afro beat, film screenings and poetry readings. Miller and Bud are nowhere to be found on the small candle-lit wooden tables; instead, expect foreign imports and exotic domestics along the lines of Great Lakes, Delirium Tremens and Three Floyd's Alpha King, in addition to whiskey and scotch.
