CHICAGO A legendary restaurant on the city’s Northwest Side has shut its doors for good.
Gale Street Inn, located at 4914 N Milwaukee Avenue in the Jefferson Park neighborhood, announced Thursday morning they have permanently closed the restaurant.
The message posted to Gale Street’s Instagram account reads:
With a sad but satisfied heart, we have closed our restaurant. Hiring and retaining quality staff has proven too tough for too long. We are tired of sucking, we have standards you know. But overworking our existing crew is not the answer. There are simply too many of you and not enough of us. Thank you to our current & past teams. Man what a run! Thank you to all of our guests for all of the years. To our vendors, thank you for delivering the goods, always. To the city of Chicago, we loved operating in the greatest food town on the planet. We will come up with a gift card plan and fill you in . There is no gracious way to close a retail business and we apologize for the inconveniences in advance.
We wish you all peace and love.
Good Bye,
GSI
The restaurant, established back in 1963, is best known for their signature ribs and supper club vibe.
