The former owners of Augenblick (the much-missed neighborhood tavern in North Center) have taken over Edgewater Lounge, turning it into another comfy alehouse. Fill up on stacked and grilled sandwiches made from your pick of 20 different ingredients and accompanied by hand-cut fries. There's live music on Saturday and Sunday. Mondays there's an open-mic for singer-songwriters, and Tuesdays feature bluegrass and Celtic bands.
