10 Chicago Bars for Refreshing Summer Cocktails | Eater
"La Licor Panamericana, named for the Pan-American Highway that stretches from Alaska to Argentina, provides the best parts of a road trip — the snacks — without the long, boring stretches in the car. And because you’re not driving, pair the lomo saltado with an Otra Amanecer (“another dawn”): Zacapa Rum No. 23, vermouth rosso, sherry cream, cold brew, and xocolatl bitters poured over a big ice cube." - Vox Creative
"La Licor is a stylish pan-American bar and cafe in Logan Square. Sure, there’s not a margarita on the menu, but with such an extensive library of spirits and a staff of talented bartenders, it certainly won’t hurt to ask. It’s worth it." - Sam Nelson

Great selection of tequila and other Latin spirits. The cocktails are some of the best I’ve had personally, and the hospitality is top notch. The atmosphere is cozy and chic with great tunes always bumping. 10/10 would recommend to someone wanting a unique drink that you can’t get anywhere else in Chicago.

Wow!!! Talk about a fantastic addition to Logan square. Incredible cocktails and delicious food. The establishment was so well designed, loved all the art work & plants!
For the food I’d have to say my favorite has to be the 4am burger, jalea & empanadas! Everything was so flavorful & well plated. Cocktails were so thought out. My favorite definitely has to be puerto paraíso or the pisco sour! Genuinely can’t wait to be back with friends! Had such a great time.

Really enjoyed our first visit - they had an industry night menu for Mondays that encouraged us to try a few things we might not have otherwise.
Slushies were fun, empanadas were the star of the show (we tried the spinach and cheese), and the burger wasn’t bad.
Get the empanadas! They were so good that we ordered them again after finishing them.
They also had a guest bartender, Monica from Elske, for Women’s History Month later in the evening and she was making really delicious cocktails!
Overall, the ambiance was great and there are plenty of spots at the bar to stop in for a high-quality cocktail and snack or meal.

There are tons of overrated spots out there, but this is not one of them! The food and drinks are seriously next-level, the service is outstanding, and the vibe is super chill and pleasant. I literally found myself Shazamming half their playlist. Bonus points for the kitchen being open until 1 AM! love that! Can’t wait to come back and try the burger! Huge shoutout to the staff for being so welcoming and kind.

Had a great time at La Licor. The drinks and the ambiance were the highlight to me. I had the Escandalo, which was very tasty. They have a good variety of small plates from different Latin American countries. My favorites were the cheese bread and the fried yucca.

I had a wonderful experience as my first time at La Licor. The drinks were incredible, tasty, not too sweet and expertly crafted. The service was wonderful, warm and welcoming. I can't wait to return! Would recommend to anyone looking for a unique and cozy date night spot, solo night out, or time with friends.

New coffee spot--the La Licor cocktail bar is doing a morning / daytime cafe vibe with a different name and menu. Outdoor rail seating with pretty solid WiFi so got some work done here today.
Delicious Kyoto slow drip cold brew. A little pricey but it was very smooth tasting. Metric coffee is a high quality partner, so probably interested in trying a pour-over as well.
Staff were really nice.

What a great find ! Panamerican flavors done really well and inventive, decently priced cocktails. Some of the best oysters (small, meaty, killer dressing), a decent smashburger, plaintsin and yucca snacks, empanadas, lomo. Dishes marked with their country of origin. Super deals at Happy Hour. Friendly and helpful staff. Will return.
