Metrowize — The Best Mixology & Craft Cocktail Bars in Chicago via MetroWize: The Whistler is one cocktail bar — er… art gallery, record label and music venue — that manages to keep its cool. Voted one of GQ's 25 Best Cocktail Bars in America and boasting plenty more awards than that, this Logan Square hot spot is a must. Never charging a cover and offering DJ dance parties, live music, art openings, and plenty more — this may be the hippest place to sip a drink. Their cocktail menu is constantly changing, with a featured drink every month. Try the Red White and Green (Silver Tequila, Amarao Abano, Lemon, Honey, Celery Bitters) for a new twist on tequila, or the Laurelton (Scarlet Ibis Trinidad Rum, El Dorado 12 yr Rum, Pune E Mes, Maraschino Liqueur, Angostura Bitters) for something stiff. Then head out to the back patio for some fresh air.
