Chicago’s Southport Corridor in Chicago’s Lakeview Neighborhood. All the latest news of what is happening in and around Lakeview's Southport Corridor neighborhood.
Good news for former Justin’s beer garden fans. 4-Star will be keeping the outdoor area in their upcoming new restaurant at 3358 N. Southport Avenue, but it will be smaller due to construction needed to expand the kitchen.
We have also heard that they will be improving it greatly, with fire pits to keep things going well into the cooler months. In addition as we mentioned before, Tex-Mex appears to be the new restaurant theme.
The Lakeview Chamber is exploring the possibility of bringing a pro cycling event to Lakeview this summer, as part of the Intelligentsia Cup series. The event would attract international attention to the neighborhood, support the neighborhood’s reputation as a great destination for world-class events, and create a fun experience for residents and visitors. The course would center on Lincoln Avenue between Barry and George.
4-Star Restaurant Group, owners of Crosby’s Kitchen will be moving into their latest concept later this year, and rumors are that it will be a TexMex type of restaurant from the former owner of Justin’s himself. Would you welcome this type of restaurant on Southport?

Wrigleyville Dental Space The building behind Crosby’s Kitchen will be developed and will open in early 2017 as an adult restaurant and full bar. The name of the new restaurant will be Ella Elli (and not Three Sisters).
Justin’s Space. The former Justin’s Bar & Grill space is currently gutted (take a peek when you walk by), and 4-Star is hoping to get in there this month to start the process. There is no name as of yet for the new space, but they are looking to have it open by fall of 2016. Per 4-Star, “It will be a very comfortable family style restaurant (similar to Crosby’s Kitchen, but different food).”
Timings are all dependent on the permit processing times from the City of Chicago for both restaurants.
As we hear more from 4-Star, we will be sure to let you know.
