This Logan Square dive bar’s name has the word ‘lounge’ in it, but in reality it’s anything but. Some may call it an identity crisis, but regulars say that no two nights are alike, as the vibe and patrons change their stripes nearly every day of the week, from reggae to jazz to indie rock and merengue. Don’t be put off by the exclusive looking...

With free live music, colorful cocktails on rotation, a storefront gallery, and an eclectic in-house record label, The Whistler in Logan Square is a wonderful anomaly. Go on a random night and you might hear a worldly acoustic-guitar duo, a dubstep DJ, or an improvisational jazz outfit. Movie buffs can enjoy the monthly “Movieoke” or a foreign-film screening.

Rosa’s Lounge operates in the hallowed tradition of Chicago blues lounges, family owned and operated by an Italian immigrant who came to Chicago in 1978 after meeting Jr. Wells and Buddy Guy in Milan.
