One of the original four craft-beer-focused pubs in Chicago, Clark Street Ale House maintains a rotating selection of approximately 125 craft beers — many from sought-after local and regional producers — alongside more than 300 whiskeys. The bar's approach centers on thoughtful curation without pretension, offering everything from approachable pours to premium selections. The classic interior opens to an outdoor beer garden patio, giving the venue two distinct settings for private gatherings and celebrations.

Visitors today can see the original stained glass arch above the box office, refurbished marble walls, and the decorative relief panels from the 1915 build — all preserved and integrated into the redesign. Beyond film, The Logan Theatre functions as a community gathering place in Logan Square. It hosts independent film festivals, premieres, open mic comedy, movie trivia nights, and a late-night horror series each October. A full-service bar and lounge extend the space into a versatile event venue, welcoming private gatherings ranging from children's parties to film industry events.
