The Whistler

The Whistler’s monthly lit series pops up on the second Wednesday of every month, bringing an evening of readings, workshopping and discussion to the Logan Square cocktail bar. Each show is followed by an installment of the Relax Attack Jazz Series, a free event with a constantly rotating bill.

Every New Year’s Eve, The Whistler showcases a new resident DJ or performer for its end-of-year dance party. For closing out 2025, the bar will highlight Heat Sync: a dance party with high-energy, percussion-driven sets from a stacked lineup of DJs to keep you grooving straight into 2026. Tickets include tickets for two drinks off The Whistler’s menu, including a midnight toast. The  New Year’s Eve cocktail menu will feature staff favorites from the past year.
