Logan - Bar Manager, mixologist extraordinaire, and “The Greatest American Hero” look-a-like...knows how to tend bar, make his guests happy and whip up a mean drink.
I’m glad The Vig expanded operations and opened a new, larger venue. They’ve been open now for about a year in their new location. The casual atmosphere along with a little more wiggle room at the bar - makes it a nice hangout for locals and the average passer-by.
They replicated most of what the flagship store had to offer with a bocce ball lawn, a nice relaxing outdoor patio, modern-eclectic décor, and, of course, a satisfying menu.
One evening after stopping in for a “night cap” after chowing down previously at Seasons 52 – I found myself making the connection between Logan and “The Greatest American Hero.”
I too often remember old shows and completely "date" myself when no-one around me has a clue what I’m talking about. Logan, on the other hand, had a vague memory when I poked him about the resemblance.
It didn’t take long before I pulled up some clips and photos on the trusty old iPhone. He grinned at the distraction that was making him the center of everyone's attention. After passing around my phone asking for others' input - everyone at the bar agreed with my assessment of the physical features Logan possessed that were remarkably like the "Hero". It's uncanny actually.
And, it’s not just the tight blond curls atop – I think it is the jaw line and the smile. Partly also, I suppose, the demeanor and general good attitude I always find him in…
If you are unaware of the show – “The Greatest American Hero” – No, it was not a cartoon, the main character was a cute superhero that found himself in a position of saving and protecting/rescuing others – but he was unprepared.
[They] had to teach him to fly in his little red suit and cape. He never really got good at flying and was quite the bumbling, funny, good-intended superhero, and always clumsy. But he got the job done.
Unlike Logan, who I’ve never seen disheveled, “The Greatest American Hero” struggled in his new-found position – but smiled all the while. And, like Logan, his attitude was always positive and fun.
If you find yourself in the vicinity of The Vig Uptown – do check it out.
The food is great customary bar food with a few twists. Try out the wings “vings”, 16th Street Tacos, and the Hot Chick (not the girls - the sandwich).
All of the “vignature” cocktails are crazy good and Logan will knock your socks off with his signature drinks.
The best ever – Let him make a “surprise” for you. He usually works Fri-Sat-Sun Nights.
