Ludlow Liquors

Despite its old-timey sounding name, Ludlow Liquors took over the old Orbit Room space in 2018 with an aim to be an authentic neighborhood bar in Avondale. The lounge departs from other cocktail lounges by focusing on stirred cocktails served by the ounce and unexpectedly great grub. You can also count on good whiskey classics, all the standards, draft punches and daily $6 shot and beer combos. The kitchen satisfies with French onion soup; hot wings; Japanese veggie fritters; a two-fisted burger; and even a Caesar salad made to order. Sunday nights are probably the most chill of the week or play dominoes on Mondays while munching Sicilian style pizza. DJ's serenade on Tuesdays while the kitchen turns out Chicago style hot dogs. When the weather's fine, you'll want to head to a spacious backyard patio.
