"80 Proof, a two-level bar and restaurant known for its bountiful brunch buffet and a solid happy hour, is permanently closed after seven years at 1500 N. Wells Street, reps announced Wednesday on Instagram. This was a joint venture between Four Corners (Benchmark, Brickhouse Tavern) and Hogsalt Hospitality (Au Cheval, Gilt Bar) who opened the venue in 2018 to replace two-year-old SteakBar. Reps did not elaborate on the reasons behind the closure." - Ashok Selvam

Bloom Plant Based Kitchen

Vegan restaurant · Wicker Park

"Plant-based gluten free restaurant in Wicker Park. We have always had the core belief of being as good to oneself (and the earth) as possible, but as we grow, we have always wanted to do more. With this desire, we decided to open Bloom Plant Based kitchen. Not only is eating a more plant-based diet healthier and more forgiving to one’s body, but it is significantly better for the environment. However, with healthy plant-based options not being the popular choice, we know we have stiff competition. Therefore, our intention with Bloom is to focus on bringing flavorful, healthy, and affordable plant-based food to families while also being desirable and appealing to everyone regardless of their diet."
