"With new bars popping up all along Milwaukee Avenue, it’s easy to overlook some of the places that helped make Logan Square the drinking destination that it is today. Opened in 1994 in Lincoln Park and relocating to Logan Square in 2014, Webster’s Wine Bar has anchored the Square with oysters and wines by the glass for nearly a decade. These days, its wine list centers on natural stuff, with bottles ranging from the Loire Valley to Basque Country. Grab a glass of something funky and orange and pair it with a round of Island Creek oysters or a cheese board at the large bar or one of the distressed wood tables overlooking shelves filled with books and bottles. It’s a cozy and sophisticated escape that, with any luck, will be around for years to come." - sarah freeman, john ringor
