"This Logan Square spot feels like a secret clubhouse. Located on a quiet side street with only a discreet bird silhouette sign, Meadowlark is easy to miss. But once inside, you’ll find a dark wooden space, comfy leather couches, and some great small plates and drinks—which isn’t a big surprise since this comes from the team behind Union and Lardon. And to keep things from getting stale, the drink and food menu rotates and always has a theme, like “Birds of the Midwest” or “Chicago World’s Fair.”" - adrian kane, john ringor
