"The Beer Bistro, a craft beer bar pioneer for the last 13 years in the West Loop, has announced it will close. Customers have 11 days to grab a few sliders and a pint, as the bar plans to shutter on Saturday, May 12, according to a Facebook post. The beer bar has been a pillar for the neighborhood, giving Bulls and Blackhawks fans a reliable spot for a quality brew near the United Center before much of the area carried buzz. Owners Bob and Heidi McDermott opened The Beer Bistro in 2005 and served bar food and a huge beer list with more than 200 selections." - Ashok Selvam
