Party Earth Quenchers Saloon Review

The Scene

A solid roster of entertainment ranging from comedy nights and rock performances to acoustic jazz makes Quenchers Saloon a hot ticket for a diverse mix of patrons – and its immense selection of over three hundred beers doesn't...

Logan Square, Chicago –

Two long and weathered wooden bars give the space a distinct lodge feel, accented by a fake deer head mounted between floor-to-ceiling shelves of liquor.

Simple tables frame the outskirts of the main room, leaving the rest of the space open for the blue-collar regulars, outgoing grad students, and occasional hipster to mingle and chat about the shows, or zigzag between the photo booth, retro jukebox, and free popcorn machine.

Dozens of chalkboards draw laid-back beer lovers intent on reading the handwritten details of their favorite brews or on scanning the massive calendar of monthly events, while just through the curtains in the back is the rustic stage room, home to regular indie rock, jazz, and reggae acts, as well as fundraising events, private parties, and Open Mic nights.

Offering everything from jazz and Leffe ale to indie bands and PBR, Quenchers Saloon is guaranteed to satisfy everyone’s thirst.

Lindsey Romain Feb 23, 2013 4.0 stars The Best Bar You've Never Been To The best thing about Quenchers is its complete lack of pretention. You'd think a place packed to the brim with imported beers and a jukebox loaded with classic alt hits would scare newbies away, but oh contrair! The bartenders are some of the nicest in town. Want to try an Irish ale you can't afford? They'll suggest a similar-tasting Wisconsin brew that's half the price. Want something local on tap? They'll let you know if the bottle is cheaper. It's that sort of conscientious, personable quality that makes Quenchers a bar like no other, and one of the best places to drink in the city. With Wicker Park right down the street, it's easy to forgo Quenchers for something fussier, which is unfortunate. It's in a sort of no-man's land between Bucktown and Logan Square, but for those who live on the brink, it's a great location, and easily accesible by bus. The only downside: it's pretty small and pretty loud. I wouldn't recommend it as a meet-up place for conversation's sake, and prepare to wait for a barstool seat. But for some laid-back fun, good music and even better beer, it's the ideal spot.

Chris Morgan Sep 7, 2012 3.0 stars Best Jukebox in Chicago A friend and I discovered Quenchers after asking around town for the best jukebox in the city, and it did not disappoint. Rare is the bar that has Neutral Milk Hotel and the Pixies in the jukebox. Be warned, you will be judged by your selections, however, so forget playing anything approaching arena and/or yacht rock. That's what I love about Quenchers. That and the beer selection. They have hundreds of beers and a bunch on tap with a ton of seasonal and regional selections. Best of all the staff knows their beer and is willing to talk about it if the place isn't too busy. The vibe is that weird mix of laid back but hipster. People are not judgmental of some things but are of others but all in all it is a welcoming place for all types. The only downside is that is kind of out of the way for a lot of folks and not very close to the train.
