West Town Powerhouse Beatnik To Open a Downtown Riverfront Patio Location | Eater Chicago

"Closing after less than eight months to make way for a new owner along the Chicago River, this operation was a revamp of a space that originally opened in 2014 as Pearl Tavern at 180 N. Upper Wacker Drive. Purchased by Bonhomme Hospitality Group along with the restaurant’s roughly 120-seat patio, the sale will convert part of the footprint into a spinoff of the group's Mediterranean concept; most employees are expected to be retained, though the restaurant’s acclaimed French chef will not remain with the new ownership." - Ashok Selvam
