Weegee's Lounge
Weegee's Lounge on Armitage in Logan Square is named after Arthur Fellig, the 1940s crime photographer who went by Weegee and spent his career photographing New York's underworld. His vintage photos line the walls. The retro photo booth in the corner fits.
There's shuffleboard, a back patio, and classic cocktails made with actual skill. The bar went through an ownership change in early 2025 but maintained its character through the transition. It's been a neighborhood institution long enough that the new owners understood what they were inheriting.
