Owen and Engine.
During the summer when Anna and I went to City North for a movie, we realized there was an interesting looking building going up on the corner of Western and Schubert. Flash forward a couple of months and that building is now Owen & Engine. The owners of Fat Willy’s Rib Shack are responsible for bringing this cozy two-level English countryside gastropub to Logan Square. Owen & Engine is truly beautiful inside and out, with finely detailed wood and leather decor throughout the pub. Anna and I visited Owen & Engine on a busy Friday night, so we were seated at the bar on the second floor, which was perfectly fine with us since the bartenders were so friendly and helpful in telling us what the pub had to offer. Anna loves seafood, so she went with the haddock fish and house cut chips that came with malt vinegar aioli. I went with the butter chicken that was really juicy and very flavorful, and I also had a side of aged cheddar mash. We topped off our meal with an apple cobbler for dessert that was incredible. It is worth noting that Owen & Engine also has four cask brews along with 20 other beers on tap, and they have many British, Belgian, and American craft bottled beers available as well. Overall, Owen & Engine is another great addition to Logan Square.
