"Wicker Park: Seattle-based vegan restaurant and bar No Bones Beach Club has permanently closed all its restaurants, including a Chicago outpost, due to the pandemic, according to the company’s website. The brand launched a Chicago location in 2018 near the Milwaukee/North/Damen intersection with a menu of jackfruit flautas with dairy-free cheese and parsnip-and-veggie “crab” cakes, plus a full bar." - Naomi Waxman
"Chicago vegans and island cocktail drinkers are getting their hotspot back today. Wicker Park vegan oasis No Bones Beach Club — one of the hottest restaurants in Chicago — has been temporarily closed since Valentine’s Day as it undergoes maintenance for gas line problems. But owner MacKenzie DeVito says it will reopen today at 4 p.m." - Daniel Gerzina
"No Bones Beach Club is a vegan restaurant that originated in the Pacific Northwest and has a location in Chicago. It faced criticism for playing music with racial slurs and responded by committing to ensure such music is not played in the future." - Ashok Selvam
"This is a vegan spot with a beach theme (hence the name), which means it’s decorated with lots of bamboo, palm trees, and surfboards. So there’s at least a small chance you’ll briefly think you’re eating at a beach shack in Belize, instead of a restaurant in Wicker Park. Even though the menu is 100% plants, it’s definitely comfort food, with dishes that will appeal to non-vegans too - like fried mac and cheese, or delicious nachos made with fresh tortilla chips and cashew queso." - Adrian Kane
"No Bones Beach Club, a Pacific Northwest import, hopes to give the Midwest a dose of vegan food that doesn’t suck. Seriously, that’s the restaurant’s motto: 'just because it’s vegan doesn’t mean it sucks.' Chicago marks No Bones’ third location. DeVito and team created a cozy spot with surfboards, mermaids, and more. There’s a bar with some strong drinks. The restaurant also features a strong brunch menu with vegan crab cake Benedicts, smoked carrot lox, and chile rellenos. The main menu features Buffalo cauliflower wings, fried eggplant spears, and more." - Ashok Selvam
