Scofflaw
Graham · 162 Google reviewsScofflaw — high-caliber american in Logan Square. The room fills up fast and stays lively. Strong bar program alongside the food, and open late. Harry: "The pork was prepared to perfection: juicy inside and yet crispy outside" [$$, patio]

“Awesome cocktails and killer atmosphere. The dirty martini was ice cold and was a unique take. The Saturn is crushable and the Martinez was delicious. Can’t recommend Scofflaw enough!”
“Love love love this place. Have never been disappointed...except that one cookie is never enough. Their cocktails are fantastic (especially the gin based ones). One of the best aviations in town. The bartenders are great (we like to sit at the bar a lot). The food is fantastic (especially the burger and fries). The fresh, warm, straight out of the oven cookies at midnight are a great reason to grab a cocktail. The atmosphere...no matter where you're sitting is pretty nice too.”
“Beautiful, low-light gin bar — Adam took such good care of us, walked us through the different cocktail choices, we felt very welcome Light sharable menu items, fireplaces in the winter, what’s not to like”
“Really solid cocktails here, especially if you like gin. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff is friendly. It’s a local favorite for a reason.”
“great spot for a tasty cocktail. fresh tasting and strong. highly recommend!”
“It’s such a cozy and intimate environment. It’s nice with the dimmed lighting. The cocktails are all so delicious, and third burger is one of a kind. It’s so flavorful and with the cheese and onions. It reminds me of In-N-Out in the best way but way more premium than In-N-Out. Their fries are crispy and I love the garlic aïoli it comes with our table got the charcuterie and for $55. It was on the expensive side, but the cheeses and meats were great quality. It is very easy to rack up a bill here with your friends, but it was worth it for the great service, food, and drinks. We had a group of 10 and we had a great spot with couches and benches with a table.”
“Great Neighborhood vibe with top notch drinks and awesome food. Highly recommend you make an effort to visit soon!”
“The cocktails are top notch (they graciously spiked my ube mocktail — and it was delicious!) and the food is good. The vibes are cool and the place welcomes all. We did go on a weeknight and the service was slower as one person covered the whole area — but thinking that was a one time staffing kerfluffle. Our guy, as hectic as his day was, was still awesome and gracious about it all. Check em out!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Jamie and Atticus were both fantastic—so warm and attentive. We absolutely loved the baked oysters and the spinach artichoke dip. My mezcal cocktail was perfectly balanced, and my honey enjoyed his drink just as much. The ambiance was beautiful, and we truly enjoyed our time here. We'll definitely be back!”
“Stop by here a late night after a concert and so glad I did! I heard a rumor that they serve chocolate chip cookies at midnight so I needed to see if it was true. They have a really great drink menu and the space is quite snazzy kind of like a speakeasy vibe. The bartenders are very nice and got us our drinks quickly. The Ube iced drink was very tasty. a lot of ice but a lot of Ube too! And although they were about three minutes late, ha ha they’re absolutely were chocolate chip cookies for free. Served to everyone at the bar. What a great late night snack to company great drinks. Thanks Scofflaw!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic night at Scofflaw! From the moment we walked in, Danny and his team made us feel right at home with their warm hospitality and great energy. The drinks were excellent, the atmosphere was perfect, and the service was top-notch — you can really feel the care and passion in everything they do here. Thank you to Danny and the entire Scofflaw crew for making it such a memorable experience. Can’t wait to come back!”
