"Chicago winters might be brutal, but a tiny part of us enjoys them - and we’re not just saying this because we can’t leave our jobs to go somewhere warm for six months a year. But if we were able to escape the city, we’d head to a tropical place that feels like Estereo. It’s an all-day bar in Logan Square with lots of natural light, excellent cocktails made with things like cachaça and pisco, and plays vintage funk records. It’s basically one of the few places we can hang out, and say (with a straight face) that we don’t mind the winter." - josh barnett, adrian kane
