Scofflaw

Scofflaw is a Chicago venue with verified late operating hours and a casual dress code. The clearest planning facts are the schedule: it opens at 5 PM Monday through Thursday, at 3 PM Friday through Sunday, and stays open until 1 AM most nights, with 2 AM closing on Friday and Saturday.

Because other details are not verified here, plan around the basics rather than assuming a specific menu, drinks program, reservation format, or service style. For a flexible Chicago night, confirm any current offerings directly with the venue before you go.

Come for the schedule, plan around confirmed basics

The right expectation is important. The verified information supports Scofflaw as a casual Chicago option with late hours, but it does not confirm specific food, beverage, booking, price, or seating details. If the night is built around dining first, use Our full Chicago restaurants guide before committing to a plan.

For broader scouting, Our full Chicago bars guide is the better starting point. For Scofflaw specifically, the grounded decision points are its Chicago location, casual dress code, and late schedule.

Use it for flexible nights, not precision planning

Scofflaw is easiest to evaluate by its confirmed hours: Monday through Thursday from 5 PM to 1 AM, Friday and Saturday from 3 PM to 2 AM, and Sunday from 3 PM to 1 AM. That makes it a practical option to consider when the timing of the night matters.

For other options to compare, Best Intentions, Bungalow by Middle Brow, Gretel, Lonesome Rose (Logan Square), and Meadowlark each may pull the decision in a different direction. Choose Scofflaw when its verified late hours and casual dress code fit the plan.
