Lively Logan Square brunch-and-cocktail spot with a clubby vibe, strong drinks, and crowd-pleasing plates; great energy but inconsistent service, waits, loud music, and surprise fees can frustrate.
The Duplex delivers a vibrant Logan Square brunch experience with strong food quality and praised server care, but inconsistent execution between visits and unpredictable wait times prevent higher marks. The clubby DJ-driven atmosphere and quality cocktails appeal to groups seeking scene and indulgence, though crowded seating and automatic service charges temper the overall value proposition for quieter dining or families.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive ($16+ brunch mains, cocktails $14+) which may surprise casual diners
