The Remix; Now Pouring | Rhum Agricole
Today's typical Chicago saloon has Old Style in the can, the Cubs on the tube and video poker in the corner. Weegee's Lounge, in the Logan Square neighborhood, has none of these. 'We like to think of ourselves as the kind of bar you would have found in Chicago in the '40s,' says Alex Huebner, who, with his wife, Lynne Marrs, opened Weegee's last June. This means jazz on the stereo and a cocktail repertory featuring classics like the Pink Squirrel, the grasshopper and the Knickerbocker. Huebner licensed the fabled crime-scene shutterbug's name thinking that Weegee would have found the still-gritty area stimulating. No doubt. 3659 W. Armitage Ave.; (773) 384-0707.
