As Freiman promised, the alterations at SmallBar are relatively minimal. A new Hamm's sign hangs outside and workers fixed up the patio just in time for porch-pounder season in Chicago.
Beverage staples remain, like draft signature beers and ciders, joined by an expanded cocktail lineup and a broader selection of spirits. There's a limited food menu of smash burgers, grilled cheese, fries, and cheese curds from the specialists at Patty Please, who plan to expand their offerings over the coming months.
Whether or not longtime regulars find the same unpretentious charm that made SmallBar a hit for 22 years in Logan Square remains to be seen.
