Kuma’s Corner Calling It Quits in Fulton Market After Seven Years | Eater Chicago

"At 2900 W. Belmont Avenue I note that the original Kuma’s Corner debuted 19 years ago and was a pioneer in Avondale before spots like Honey Butter Fried Chicken, Parachute, Beer Temple, and Dmen Tap opened. It quickly gained credibility for loud music, often showcasing bands on independent labels, though the restaurant later turned down the volume as different crowds arrived. Ron Cain (Mike’s brother) bought the business and the restaurant expanded with locations in Lakeview, Schaumburg, and Vernon Hills. Kuma’s also poured beer from local craft breweries, which appealed to suburban dads." - Ashok Selvam
