All you solo barflies can breathe a sigh of relief: It is possible to meet the man or woman of your dreams in a bar. In fact, the husband-and-wife owners of this Logan Square spot met at Neo, where he used to manage and she bartended after barflying. Now the duo opened this funky, laidback neighborhood hang with above-average bar food, cocktails and beer, plus great tunes from indie to rockabilly. And for all your sports (and movies) fans, they have an 8-foot projector screen too.
