You love to go out. We love to go out. You love to eat. We love to eat. You love to drink. Well, you get the idea. So when you're itching for the lastest Chicago nightlife has to offer, check out The Extrovert for up-to-the minute details on the scene.
Bye, bye, bye
Yesterday, we told you Yak-Zies Bar & Grill, one of Lakeview's venerable late night spots, called its last "last call" on Sunday, but we've also heard about recent under-the-radar closings for a trio of recent debuts.
Cosmospolitan, the cute little Humboldt Park pan-Mediterranean eatery, which opened earlier this summer, served its last supper over the weekend; co-owner Dimitra Bourounis, understandably, is being tight-lipped with details.
Dudley Nieto, the acclaimed chef who is almost as well known for his stove hopping as he is for his food, is pulling yet another disappearing act. Nieto, who clocked kitchen time at multiple Mexican spots (Adobo Grill, Zapatista, San Gabriel Mexican Café and more) before opening Xel-Ha in River North last winter, closed the restaurant on Monday citing lease issues. Nieto says he's planning another restaurant in the Chicago area; check back for future updates.
Bucktown's Barcello's closed Friday, August 3. Look for another concept from chef-owner David Richards to debut mid-September in the same address. He won't give up much right now, but tells us "it won't be called Barcello's, it won't be Italian, and it won't be yellow inside." Check back for additional details.
