Bungalow by Middle Brow is more than a neighborhood brewpub; it's a space where the patient art of fermentation is channeled into everything it produces. This Logan Square establishment, which began as a brewery, has evolved to encompass a bakery, pizzeria, and natural winery, all grounded in the same foundational principle. The space itself feels like a communal living room, with an airy, sunlit character, rustic brick, and large wooden barrels that hint at the processes happening within.\nThe bill of fare directly reflects this focus, with naturally leavened, wood-fired pizza as the main event. The kitchen has gained recognition for its fragrant, flavorful crusts that provide a sturdy base for both minimalist toppings and more inventive seasonal combinations. Beyond the pies, house-made breads and sourdough are given equal reverence, appearing in everything from morning toasts to open-faced sandwiches. The commitment to craft extends to the beverage program, which features house-brewed beers and low-intervention wines that mirror the kitchen’s unfiltered, expressive philosophy.\nFrom morning coffee and baked goods to an evening meal centered around pizza and beer, the offerings shift throughout the day. Sourdough cinnamon rolls and shakshuka might feature on the brunch list, while dinner brings a focus to pizzas that have included toppings like house-made sausage with green olives or mushrooms with toasted birdseed. What remains constant is the laid-back, intentional atmosphere. It is a place built for lingering over a shared meal, where every element, from the food to the drinks, connects back to a clear, cohesive vision.
