LOGAN SQUARE — New Year's Eve has arrived and Logan Square has your last-minute party plans on deck for that midnight celebration. Check out the list below for a set of 10 restaurants and bars, in no particular order, offering a range of NYE events from high-end reservations required to free and boozy.
Parson’s Chicken and Fish
2952 W. Armitage Ave.
773-384-3333

Webster's Wine Bar
1480 W. Webster Ave.
773-292-9463
Due to an outpouring of interest in Webster's popular New Year’s event, and the fact that they can't possibly fit everyone in to their new Logan Square space, Webster's owners have decided to dust off the cobwebs at their original location, 1480 West Webster Ave., for Wednesday's NYE celebrations starting at 8:30 p.m.
This is one last chance to say goodbye to the location Webster's occupied for 19 years. Relieve old memories and ring in the New Year in style — Webster's will have a curated selection of wines, beers and spirits all night at the open bar, along with a house-made sparkling punch. Drinks will be accompanied by wonderful catered food from their sister restaurant Reno. Feel free to dance the night away to an eclectic mix of music from Dj Catie O.
