Already a destination for whiskey and cocktail fans, Logan Square's Longman & Eagle will soon have even more room to accommodate dark spirits devotees.
The Off Site Bar, opening Thursday, is a 150-square-foot "micro bar" in a former garage adjacent to the restaurant's back patio.
It will have its own menu, though expect similar spirits, beers and cocktails to those at Longman & Eagle proper. The funky, casual decor extends to the micro-bar as well, with motorcycle accessories, speakers and plenty of wood throughout the small space.
According to co-owner Peter Toalson, the backyard bar may occasionally have a small food menu, since it does share a wall with Longman & Eagle's prep kitchen.
The Off Site Bar will also host a weekly sausage store pop-up on Saturdays, highlighting encased meats made in-house by chef Matthew Sliwinski, beginning March 16 at 11 a.m. and continuing until supplies last. Sliwinski will serve two or three sausages each week, which will be available to eat in-house or to take home.
And as though anyone needs another reason to look forward to warm weather, the Off Site Bar also will provide drinks for the 300-square-foot patio come summer.
