Logan Squares The Walk In Bar Temporarily Closes For Remodel

The Walk In cocktail bar, located at 2727 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Logan Square, has closed for renovations after nearly a decade of operation. Owner Esam Hani indicated the bar will reopen in about six weeks, featuring updates like new bathroom tile, a revamped back bar, and fresh paint. The renovations aim to create a more lounge-like atmosphere while maintaining the bar's simplicity.

Hani plans to adjust the drink menu to offer a wider selection of cocktails, liquors, and a more curated draft beer list. Patrons will also have the option to order food from The Harding Tavern, Hani's nearby restaurant, as The Walk In does not serve food. A notice about the closure can be found on the bar’s doors and website. Hani's investment in the remodel reflects a commitment to enhancing the local nightlife experience. The changes are expected to attract both existing patrons and new customers looking for a refreshed bar environment.
