Easy Does It
Easy Does It operates as a wine store at street level on Milwaukee Avenue in Logan Square, but show your ID and head upstairs and there's a wine bar lounge with a sprawling back patio overlooking the Blue Line. Natural wines are the focus: pét-nats, rosés, unusual selections that don't typically show up on mainstream lists.
They also run wine tastings and DJ sets in the back. Opens at 5pm on weekdays, noon on weekends. The staircase is the only thing separating the retail and lounge experiences, which is a clever way to run both.
