If you're a longtime Chicago resident, you've probably spent a late night (or 12) at The Whistler. A dimly lit ambience, craft cocktails full of plenty of ingredients you don't even recognize but taste amazing, a diverse blend of DJs, and a dance floor filled with people who show up for the long haul all make it a coveted Chicago spot in Logan Square. And this week, the Whistler is celebrating it's 10th anniversary. There will be plenty of events to join in the celebrations, so pick from the array below all week long. Along with special events, the bar will be serving a nightly rotating "greatest hits" cocktail menu, including favorites like the Delhi Cooler, Golden Fleece, and more.
