A Bar With an ’80s Edge is Replacing Lost Lake in Logan Square | Eater Chicago
"Steuer's new project, Common Decency, will fill the former Lost Lake space in Logan Square and is slated to open on December 31; I expect a vibey, Miami Vice–inspired bar with a DJ booth and a disco ball. The menu is intentionally all-inclusive with elevated bar bites to suit most diets — rice paper chicharron, yuca fries, ham and cheese croquettes — alongside southern staples in Steuer’s wheelhouse like cornbread, barbecue ribs, and shrimp and grits. The cocktail program is organized by alcohol content, starting with non- and low-alcohol options (including a zero-proof negroni) and moving to higher-proof drinks with eyebrow-raising names such as “Brazilian Butt Lift” and “Key Lime Pie Milk Punch,” reflecting the sober-curious trend. Steuer has assembled industry veterans as partners and emphasizes putting workers first with progressive benefits like health insurance, vested profit sharing, and a focus on work-life balance so staff are paid well and cared for." - Tony Tran
