Burnhearts
2599 S. Logan Ave.

Perhaps no other establishment better captures the changing face of Bay View than this bar, which despite opening just this summer is already packed to the brim with regulars. Located on the corner of Logan and Potter, just a block or two off of South Kinnickinnic’s beaten path, Burnhearts attracts the artistically minded 20- and 30-somethings who have been flocking to the neighborhood recently, so it’s livelier than the typical corner tap. Generous drink specials and DJs who spin many nights of the week make this place a scene, but the warm, upscale décor and the friendly bartenders make it feel like home. (Evan Rytlewski)
