the new rockit bar & grill is open!

Proud to announce we are opening our second rockit bar and grill across the street from wrigley field tonight!  The staff is so great and training went so well that we found ourselves ready earlier than thought- so opening early- at least most of it- saving sidewalk café for may 6^th.  It is a beautiful restaurant w/ the same menu as the one in river north that helped us earn the “best restaurant” award at the 2008 rna awards (and of course the same burger that got “best burger” in the country on good morning america!).  As someone born, raised and still living in the lakeview area, I personally (like most) have been dying for more quality restaurants and food options in the neighborhood- and I know the consistent all American rockit quality comfort food, service, atmosphere,… combined with our friendly neighbor approach… is a perfect fit.  Cannot wait for you to enjoy it!
