"Opened earlier this week on a quiet tree-lined street in Lincoln Park, Love Street is the Fehr brothers' second bar after their Paris-style cocktail lounge debut; they hope to stand out in an area more known for college and sports bars near DePaul’s main campus. Cocktails are central to the atmosphere, with a menu that mixes classics and new drinks — including traditional Old Fashioneds and a trendier mezcal version — and more than 20 signature drinks. Beer drinkers can choose from local breweries like Maplewood, Cruz Blanca, and Begyle, and there’s wine by the glass or bottle; there is no food. The name comes from a Doors song and the logo brings a bit of the band’s psychedelic energy, though the owners intentionally avoided hiding any band Easter Eggs in the decor. Love Street is located at 1325 W. Wrightwood and is open 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. nightly." - Ashok Selvam
