Parts and Labor is a casual restaurant and bar near the Logan Square Blue Line stop on N Milwaukee Ave between Spaulding Ave and Sawyer Ave.
They have big windows that let in lots of natural light, which is nice. The decor has an industrial vibe with multi-colored wooden tables and benches, quirky ladder art behind the bar, and stringed lights around the exposed duct work. There are a couple of large projection screens and they were playing a movie. Our host and server was the same person, and she was lovely. It's a cash only restaurant, but there's an ATM inside, and if you use the ATM, you get a free shot of Fernet. We did, and our server was nice enough to bring us two shots exclaiming, "You can't have a shot alone!"
There's a limited menu that includes burgers, sandwiches, sides, salads, and desserts. There's also a full bar and lots of sodas. I ordered the Classic Double Burger, which is 2 griddled patties, 2 slices of American cheese, white onion, lettuce, pickles, and mayonnaise on a soft, fresh bun. It hit the spot. There's also ketchup and mustard on the table, which I added to the inside of the bun. On the side, I had curly fries. They were slightly over-seasoned.
This restaurant is welcoming. Everyone is friendly. It's budget-friendly. It's in my neighborhood. This is totally the type of bar I could hang out at with my friends. I loved it.
