Established in 1915, the Logan Theatre is one of Logan Square's most enduring landmarks. A major renovation in 2012 unearthed gleaming marble walls and a stained-glass transom above the ticket booth, and added an art-deco bar and lounge. Locals and visitors alike flock to the four-screen multiplex to enjoy mid-run movies, independent films and trivia nights.
