"For being a gin-focused bar, Scofflaw in Logan Square is a damn good place to grab a burger and beer. And the chairs next to one of their two fireplaces are particularly useful for looking enigmatic and moody, and perfect for deterring anyone from interrupting your alone time. They have one burger on the menu (a double cheeseburger) which, as it happens, is delicious. The draft list only has eight beers (again, it’s a gin bar), but they’re usually all from excellent local breweries, or you can always get a classic blue ribbon prize winner for just $3. Plus, the burger is only $15, making this one of the most affordable burger-beer combos on the list. " - john ringor, veda kilaru
