Common Decency in Logan Square is your go-to spot for laid-back ‘80s vibes, gluten-free comfort food, and crafted cocktails beneath a disco ball.
"The food at this tiny bar in Logan Square has no right to be this good, and the smoked fare from chef Mark Steuer comes from a southern tradition like his past work at Funkenhausen and Carriage House. The wings are both smoked and fried so you get the sweet taste of wood and the crispy skins folks love about wings. They’re finished with Buffalo sauce, but a word about the ranch dressing. Keep those fingers clean because you’re going to lick them to get every last bit." - Ashok Selvam
"This bar in Logan Square, in the former Lost Lake space, is helmed by chef Mark Steuer (Carriage House, Funkenhausen). There’s an ‘80s vibe and a fully gluten-free menu. The smoked barbecue rib with Alabama white sauce was one of the best bites in town (alas it’s not on the current menu). Instead, find great burgers, thrice-cooked wings, mozzarella sticks, and ridiculous steak frites with herbed foie." - Samantha Nelson
"Common Decency brings ‘80s vibes to Logan Square with food from Mark Steuer (Funkenhausen and Carriage House) and balanced cocktails from beverage manager and partner Kelsey Kasper (Spilt Milk). Start the party going with a $16 combo including a sandwich, fries, can of Hamm’s, and bourbon or tequila shot, and take advantage of other deals running from 3-6 p.m. daily including $7 glasses of wine and $10 rotating cocktails." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff
"Logan Square isn’t hurting for bars, but we’re pretty sure there aren’t a ton of Miami Vice-inspired options that serve 100% gluten-free food. Enter Common Decency, from the people behind spots like Funkenhausen and Spilt Milk. Find out whether eating BBQ spare ribs, cacio e pepe gnudi, and roasted oysters topped with pork belly and bagna cauda under pink neon lights is as fun as it looks. Or wait until we do." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
"Common Decency is an upcoming bar located in Logan Square, Chicago, co-owned by Felipe Hernandez, Mark Steuer, Kelsey Kasper, and Jason Turley. The venue was set to open in the former Lost Lake space at 3154 W. Diversey Avenue. Originally planned to open in December, its launch was delayed multiple times. After Hernandez's tragic death, the opening was further postponed, but the team organized a private fundraiser that raised nearly $8,000 for the Evolved Network charity. The bar is set to open on Friday, April 26, honoring Hernandez's contributions." - Ashok Selvam
