ROCKFORD A neighborhood bar and grill with a nostalgic Rockford ambience is slated to open in the city’s Midtown District on Sep. 1.
Ernie’s Midtown Pub, 1025 Fifth Ave., will occupy the former site of Gene’s Irish Pub, which closed in February.
“We’re going to have Chicago-style food with a bit of a twist,” said Ernie’s Midtown Pub owner Andrew Vowles. “Italian beef, Maxwell Street polish sausage, Chicago-style (hot) dogs, a pastrami Reuben sandwich with a turkey-style option, jalapeno poppers, grilled cheese and then a couple of signature items that I don’t want to put out there yet until we open.”

You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone. For many of us, eating in restaurants almost immediately became something we couldn’t do anymore when the coronavirus pandemic hit Alabama last March. If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that we should never take such joys – like dining out – for granted.
The restaurant industry has been hit hard in the past year. Lots of places shut down for weeks or months, some never reopened and those that have survived are offering more takeout, more outside dining and more space between tables. Now, more than ever, they need our support.
