Fat Pour, a new sports bar, is coming to the former Adobo Grill space at 2005 W. Division St. in Ukrainian Village.
Last we heard from Eater Chicago, Adobo Grill was evicted from the space by its landlord, who wanted to open an all-new concept in the two-story, 7,000 square-foot space.
When it opens in March, according to Metromix, the new sports bar will focus heavily on draft beer, with more than 30 varieties on tap. More info below:
Your thoughts about yet another sports bar coming to the 'hood?

This Ukrainian Village sports bar will offer a hearty assortment of import, domestic, specialty and craft brews when it opens in March. From the brains behind 404 Wine Bar Co, Jack’s Bar & Grill and The Irish Oak, beer connoisseurs can take in the two-story glass keg room or the table tap booths that are available to rent. Choose from more than 30 beers on tap (available in a pint glass or the signature "Fat Pour") or 50 by the bottle. To eat, you'll find sports bar favorites like pizzas and burgers. There are private party rooms for special events and a massive outdoor veranda on the second floor overlooking bustling Division Street.It's always good news when a vacant storefront gets filled -- the lot Adobo Grill once sat on is a very prominent spot, and for it to remain empty reflects poorly on the neighborhood and the Damen/Division intersection. But we wonder how Fat Pour will distinguish itself from other sports bars on the block like Fifty/50, The Boundary, and, of course, Paradise Cantina.

Ugh, Damen/Division is not Lincoln/Webster or Clark/Addison. Paradise Cantina is always near empty and from the sound of it, this place will be as well. Residents don't desire bars with draft service at the tables and crappy bar food. The two (somewhat) recent hits of the Wicker Park area, Bangers and Lace and Big Star show that really good beer and really good food in a cool casual, relaxed (not college-y)atmosphere will do well.
ReplyDeleteAlso, whats the word on the super secret renovation going on at the former Makisu?
ReplyDeleteOpening in March?? As in 7 mos away?
ReplyDeleteBTW, what happened to Edge? It was always empty, just wondering about that, and Mikasa.
Yeah, Paradise Cantina and 50/50 are two too many cheesy bars on the street already. Keep those places in Wrigleyville.
ReplyDeleteI am curious what an "on the table tap booth" is. If it's anything similar to the East Division St. "giant column of warm beer personal table draft system" count me out.
