Southport & Irving (SIP) space for lease

Southport & Irving, better known as SIP is currently for lease. According to the marketing description:

“Southport Corridor Corner Restaurant and Bar. Fully built-out restaurant space with outdoor component. Corner location. Southport and Irving \”SIP\” is located in Chicago\’s Lakeview neighborhood and a part of the City\’s well know Southport Corridor. Within the last several years, the area\’s gained momentum as a trendy shopping and dining district, offering a nice mix of popular chains as well as independently owned specialty shops and restaurants. The corridor gives out-of-town shoppers and locals a chance to stray away from the ?Mag Mile shopping district and into a real Chicago neighborhood. The area boasts some of the high demographics in the City and is easily accessible from all over the City.”


On the plus side, it states that “Ownership will entertain a partnership with experienced operators,” so it appears a restaurant of some-sort will remain.  See the full listing here. 

Froyo Chicago Officially Closed

ICYMI, Froyo Chicago, located at 3746 N. Southport has officially closed, and the space is currently for lease.

Restaurant Rumor: Just Salad coming to the Southport Corridor?

Just Salad announced in early 2019 that it was opening four Chicago locations, two have which have already opened downtown. It looks like at least one more location could be in the heart of the Southport Corridor according to their tweet earlier this week.  Since retail space is scarce on Southport, the one logical option could be next to Potbelly where Paperchase was originally supposed to open.  Time will certainly tell, and we should know more as Spring progresses.  Would you welcome Just Salad to Southport?

Taco Bell Cantina Coming Back to Wrigleyville (Yes, same location)

Update: Now Confirmed.

After years of preparing for Taco Bell at 1111 W. Addison to close and be demolished for a new development, Taco Bell Cantina – the one that serves booze, is now rumored to be returning to the ground level along with Chase Bank (both are in lease negotiations at this time). The original restaurant was torn down this week, and development will soon begin for a 4-story complex including a proposed climbing gym on the upper floors (Chase and Taco Bell and another retail space would occupy the ground level).  As we hear more we will be sure to let you know. Live Mas!

Southport & Irving Restaurant For Lease

From Eater Chicago, it look as though Southport & Irving could be for lease.

“One of West Lakeview’s more popular restaurants is available for lease. A Craigslist ad is up for Southport & Irving, also known as SIP, priced at $8,000 per month. Management hasn’t responded to an inquiry by press time so there’s no word yet whether the restaurant at 4000 N. Southport Avenue might close or just change ownership. Stay tuned.”
