Bell's is coming back! Bell's is coming back!

Shh ... just don't call it Bell's.

Hey, we'll call it whatever you want, just as long as it means we don't have to drive to Northwest Indiana to get our hands on some.

Vella, it's about time!

Thanks to the CTA’s ongoing Slow Zone Elimination Project, Blue Line commuters have had a rough go of it this year. But Bucktown and Logan Square Blue Liners finally caught a break in May when Vella Cafe opened its doors. Trouble was, the commuter-friendly spot under the Western “L” stop only stayed open until 3 p.m.—a bit of a downer for folks looking for a pick-me-up on the way home from work. Well, we’ve got good news, weary commuters: Vella has expanded its hours, just in time for the most miserable travel months of the year. The cheery little spot is now open until 7 p.m. on weekdays.

Are you down with OTB?

When you hear OTB bar, you might conjure up images of dark, dingy places with old men hunched over tables, scribbling bets. Not so at the new Stretch Run Sporting Club & Grille. It’s slick and new, with lots of woodwork and loads of (count ’em: 217!) TV screens.

Could OTB become the new Texas Hold ’Em? Um, probably not. But with a plethora of flatscreens—from 32 inches to 10 feet—there will no doubt be folks drawn here to watch other sporting events, from football and basketball to boxing. Though based on last night’s preview party, we still expect to see plenty of older chaps checking out the ponies upstairs from individual betting and viewing carrels.
