Logan 11 boasts a hidden gem patio where locals enjoy acoustic sets under string lights. With 20+ local craft beers, reasonably priced theatrical cocktails, and late-night loaded fries, this neighborhood favorite offers a peaceful retreat from tourist crowds.
Logan 11's patio might just be the neighborhood's best-kept secret. While tourists flock inside for the craft beer list (impressive, with over 20 local options), savvy locals claim the string-lit outdoor tables where the weekend acoustic sets sound even better under open sky.
The cocktail program punches above its price point—try the smoked old fashioned that arrives with theatrical flair but without the downtown markup. The kitchen stays open late, and the loaded fries are the perfect companion to a night of sampling their rotating taps.
Heaters keep the space viable well into autumn, though you'll want to snag a reservation for prime weekend slots when the after-work crowd lingers past sunset. Street parking can be a headache, but that's the tax you pay for a spot where the staff remembers your usual after your second visit and the patio feels miles away from the tourist bustle just beyond the fence.
