Way Out

DrinkLogan Square · American/Bar Community-sourced, unverified
📍 3213 W Armitage Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Way Out keeps Logan Square's cocktail-bar scene weird in the right ways -- $12 drinks across the entire menu, turquoise booths you could get lost in, and extraterrestrial art on the walls that commits fully to the bar's name.

$$
The Philly cheesesteak here is widely cited as the best version in the city, which is a real claim for a Chicago bar to make stick.

Time Out confirms the $12 flat pricing and credits the bar with a free monthly burlesque show, on top of a pool table and $1 wings that make it a good cheap-night option rather than a special-occasion spot. A recurring events listing adds bingo nights and pool tournaments to the regular rotation, positioning it as a hub for Logan Square's burlesque and drag scene rather than a one-off novelty act.

It's open Wednesday through Monday, 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Sapporo on tap is a genuine rarity for a Chicago bar, and the pizza potstickers remain the kitchen's signature bar snack.
