Scofflaw

Scofflaw is a gin-focused cocktail bar located at 3201 W Armitage Avenue in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, known for breaking traditional bartending rules with strong, affordable cocktails served without pretension. The venue comprises two connected properties with distinct aesthetics: one industrial-leaning section and a Victorian-style lounge featuring wingback armchairs and barstool seating across a communal space. The bar boasts one of the city's largest gin collections, including Scofflaw's own Old Tom Gin, craft beers, and elevated gastropub fare with housemade small plates. Reasonably priced house cocktails range from $8-$9, and the bar offers complimentary fresh chocolate-chip cookies at midnight. The welcoming space accepts both reservations and walk-ins.
