They had a bunch of problems with underage violations in 2022-23, and at the time it affected their liquor license and potentials for renewal.

However, their current license runs through May 2025, so maybe they got that cleaned up.

While they are cleaning stuff up maybe they could make a little time for that nasty ass bathroom

Old Chicago employee here and at the end of the month Old Chicago can be added to the list.

Been an employee there the entire run a little over 19 years.

Emotionally devastated.

A buddy and I are golfing at Coldwater on Saturday and then coming in to eat after. One last hurrah!

My friend and I went there one time and were like "this is great, we should come again". A few days later, building completely gone.
