Billy Sunday in Chicago is Matthias Merges's Logan Square cocktail bar on Logan Boulevard, with a 100-bottle amaro back bar and Prohibition-era American.

TipOrder off the amaro list, not the cocktail list, if you want the real value. The lesser-known Italians cost the same as a beer.

The Aviary ★ 4.6
