Spilt Milk

Chicago

Cocktail Bar

$$$$

Spilt Milk in Logan Square pays tribute to 20th-century Chicago taverns, both in its décor and its beverage program. The warm wooden tables and 40-foot mahogany bar are lightened by floral wallpaper and mint green tufted seat cushions throughout, and tin coffered ceiling tops the space. The drinks menu is decidedly austere; a selection of juleps, margaritas, sazeracs, and pisco sours puts Spilt Milk confidently above all gimmicks and frills, heightening its sense of sophistication. A mostly international wine list and six beers on tap are a worthy alternative for the cocktail-averse.
