For months, Anna and I have patiently waited for Revolution Brewing to open up their doors; and this week, they finally did. As one would suspect, the place was packed when we arrived and we had to wait for about 45 minutes to be seated. While waiting, we couldn’t help but notice the amazing construction that was put into the brewery. I particularly liked the woodwork at the bar, the beautifully restored tin ceiling, and the large glass window that peers into the brewing room where Revolution crafts their beers.
We started off our meal with an appetizer, opting for the bacon fat popcorn, which was terrific. You can’t beat popcorn that is topped with crispy bacon, sage, and shaved parmesan. For dinner, Anna went with the Smoked Pulled Pork sandwich that was topped with South Carolina-style mustard and honey-jalapeno slaw, and she washed it down with a Cross of Gold, a very crisp golden ale. I decided to try Revolution’s Anti-Hero IPA beer and the Smokehouse Burger, that is topped with a slice of pepper jack cheese and a small portion of the South Carolina style pulled pork. Our entire meal was very satisfying and the beers were good as well. I’m happy Revolution opened up shop in Logan Square, especially on a stretch of Milwaukee Ave. that is riddled with abandoned store fronts.

Bacon + popcorn = the best bar snack we’ve had in a long time.
