"A bar in Wicker Park known for its beer menu and live streaming jam band shows, closed during the pandemic." - Ashok Selvam

"Links Taproom, the craft beer bar and sausage slingers from Wicker Park, has new space on the main and club levels, plus two locations on the 300 level." - Ashok Selvam

"Links Taproom is reopening tonight in Wicker Park after being closed since late December due to plumbing issues. The closure was caused by a broken 75-year-old plumbing line under the bar, which affected nearby businesses. After several weeks of repairs and negotiations with the landlord, the bar is ready to welcome back customers. The reopening features a new menu from chef Josh Bushnick, known for his appearances on Food Network. Highlights include a deconstructed pierogi served on smoked Polish sausage and a Section 119 fried chicken sandwich, a nod to Phish fans. Special beers will also be tapped to celebrate the occasion." - Ashok Selvam

"The owner of Links Taproom is hoping to reopen the popular Wicker Park beer bar sometime next month after the city shut it down in late December due to a failed plumbing line below the building." - Daniel Gerzina

"Links Taproom, one of the city’s best bars for craft beer, is closed until further notice after city officials shut down the bar on Wednesday along Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park. The bar’s owners are describing the violation as a “maintenance issue” that customers wouldn’t be able to notice upon entering. The bar is hopeful to fix the problem and reopen in January as management negotiates with the building’s owner on how to address the violations." - Ashok Selvam
