According to them, the owners of Bottled Blonde cite two reasons for their decision to shut down the famed Chicago spot: Lori Lightfoot\u2019s restrictions on bars (although, if they\u2019re technically a pizzeria this shouldn\u2019t hurt them?) in response to rising coronavirus case numbers, and the ongoing lawsuit between Bottled Blonde and the city of Chicago regarding the massive number of noise complaints issued towards the establishment.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_80390\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-80390\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-80390\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/bottledblonde2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/bottledblonde2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/bottledblonde2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/bottledblonde2-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/bottledblonde2-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/bottledblonde2-842x562.jpg 842w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/bottledblonde2-406x271.jpg 406w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-80390\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Bottled Blonde<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While many consider Bottled Blonde a Chicago staple, it actually belongs to a pizza chain originally started in <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/\">Arizona<\/a>. Promising pizza and a beer garden, the Bottled Blonde location we all know and have come to love (or hate?) opened its doors in 2015. Now, almost a half-decade later, there seems to be no future for the Bottled Blonde bar and restaurant with the owners unwilling to sink any more money into keeping the place afloat during COVID-19 nor double down on legal fees. According to our sources, the owners of this River North restaurant plan to open a location in Miami, taking their rambunctious efforts to the coast.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_80158\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-80158\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-80158\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/via-The-Blue-Agave-Facebook.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/via-The-Blue-Agave-Facebook.jpg 960w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/via-The-Blue-Agave-Facebook-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/via-The-Blue-Agave-Facebook-370x217.jpg 370w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/via-The-Blue-Agave-Facebook-842x493.jpg 842w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/via-The-Blue-Agave-Facebook-406x238.jpg 406w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-80158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: The Blue Agave Facebook Page<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">View the Best Tequila Bars in Chicago<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Need something to help forget this tragedy?
