Bar · Logan Square

@infatuation

"This Logan Square spot is built with what we like to call the “Dive Bar Starter Pack”: a solid draft list, cheap cocktails, a pool table, and a primordial mustiness (even though it’s only been around since 2009). But Cole’s real charm is its live music. There’s a regular line-up of local bands and DJs every week, so if you're the friend everyone bothers for music recommendations, it’s a good place to try and find the next up-and-coming Chicago artist." - john ringor, nick allen
