Chicago’s Southport Lanes, closed since September because of COVID-19 restrictions, could enjoy a comeback because of a $70,000 state grant its owner called “a life preserver.”
There’s no date for reopening yet, owner Steve Soble said Thursday. But he said the grant will let him catch up on bills and pay forthcoming city licenses to resume operations at 3325 N. Southport Ave.
The distinctive tavern-restaurant-entertainment venue, with its billiard hall and live pinsetters, will reopen for at least limited indoor dining once state rules allow it, Soble said. When will that be? “It all depends on the virus. The good news is that we have the funds to reopen,” he said. “The state grant was basically a life preserver.”
