"After being shut down by the city for nearly nine months over a series of building-code citations, I learned that the neighborhood tavern in Ukrainian Village will reopen on Thursday, June 16. City inspectors in September 2021 cited hazardous electrical conditions and claimed raw sewage was leaking into the bar’s basement, a claim owner Denis Fogarty disputes — he tells Block Club Chicago the business never had plumbing issues. The pub has undergone structural renovations during its temporary closure, though Fogarty says most of the work will be invisible to customers." - Aimee Levitt
