"Federales, a West Loop bar famous for revelers shooting tequila and then hurling those empty glasses made of ice at a bell, is poised to open another location this spring in Logan Square. The 8,500-square-foot bar, which happens to serve tacos, is taking over the former Marcello’s Father & Son at Milwaukee and Sacramento avenues. Federales is typically crowded on weekend summer days with customers wanting to snag a space on the patio in West Loop. A rendering of the Logan Square space shows a patio. Management calls it “a lofty, open-air bar concept mixing tacos, tequila, and cocktails under a retractable roof.” The menu would be similar to the West Loop locations, according to a rep. The opening is pegged for a “quarter two 2023” debut." - Ashok Selvam
