5 Chicago Restaurant and Bar Closures to Know in October
"Parson's Chicken & Fish is closing its Andersonville location on Sunday, October 19 after more than four years in the neighborhood. Popular for its fried chicken, fish, Negroni slushies, and patio, the Land and Sea Dept. restaurant is the latest tenant in the space to shutter, following Stone Fox and Pork Shoppe. The closure comes with the lease set to expire. Parson's outposts in Logan Square and Lincoln Park will remain open; a Ukrainian Village location closed in 2023 and was replaced by Dicey's."
"After three years, Gino & Marty's has closed. Led by chef-owner Gino Bartucci, the West Loop spot was known for its upscale Italian fare and drew celebrity diners. Management plans to return in spring 2026 with a new restaurant in the space, featuring an expanded dining room and lounge, and a modern Italian menu that blends tradition with contemporary influences. 844 W. Randolph Street."
"Big Star West Town will serve its final customers on Friday, October 24. The One Off Hospitality restaurant offers tacos, burritos, Tex-Mex favorites like queso fundido, and an extensive whiskey selection. The West Town location opened in 2022 as Big Star Mariscos with a seafood-focused menu. The closing leaves Big Star with two outposts in Wicker Park and Wrigleyville. 551 N. Ogden Avenue."
Several Chicago restaurants across different neighborhoods are closing or changing operations. Parson's Chicken & Fish will close its Andersonville location on October 19 after more than four years as the lease expires; Logan Square and Lincoln Park locations will remain open.
