Bobby

Of course you are.  And of course I am too.  I’m busy all the way up to the middle of August, when I’ll be celebrating the marriage of Justin and Mandy.  After that though, my calendar is pretty much open.  So why not fill it up a bit more!

Remember Bar Louie on Halstead and Randolph?  Well I do too.  Like you, I’m glad they’re gone and I’m excited about who’s taking that space.

Q.  Bobby, who’s moving in?
A.   A local brewer Haymarket Pub & Brewery will open the doors this summer. (grand opening is August 18th. 6pm)

Q.  Will they have good beer?
A.   Pete Crowley the Brewmaster at Rock Bottom Brewery and some of his friends will have a permanent home for The Drinking & Writing Brewery at
There will be classic Belgian and contemporary American ales and lagers brewed in house, as well as many other craft beers on tap.

Q.  Food?
A.   Hand made sausages, pulled pork, pizza, and rotisserie chicken.  mmmmm

Q.  What else could I ask for?
A.   As mentioned above. “Drinking and Writing”
These guys are part of the Neo-Futurist Theater group which has the longest running show in Chicago Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind .  If  you haven’t seen it, you have to check it out.  Shellie and I saw it with Ken and Sharon this weekend and it was awesome.

If you’re interested in checking out Haymarket, let me know.  It’s just a short walk across the highway for me and I’m excited about exploring the neighborhood this summer.
