    Cork & Kerry at the Park

    Somebody asked about this recently. The old Jimbo's storefront is still boarded up, but they hung a shiny new C&K sign out front, so I guess this is a go.

    Jimbo's lost its lease.

    Basically, it was a shithole bar and the guy who owns the building wanted a nicer bar.

    If you google Cork and Kerry at the Park this is the 7th link to come up. Sites hugeness on display.
    "I do think that there's a different quality to what used to be Cominskey Field vs. Wrigley," President Obama told Bob Costas during an interview that aired during Tuesday night's MLB All-Star Game.

    From chicagoist

    Ever since news broke in winter that Cork & Kerry owner Billy Guide was eyeing the former Jimbo's space near U.S. Cellular Field to open a Bridgeport outpost, we've been keeping tabs on the space, waiting for some sign of progress toward opening. With the Sox sucking like a mortal chest wound, this has taken on some added urgency.
    A long walk home from a Sox win a couple weeks back found this sign hanging from the former dump at 33rd and Wells. Inside is still in major construction mode; we saw no traces of the former Jimbo's bar. One can assume from this that Guide is looking to build a dark, sturdy oak bar like the original Cork & Kerry in Beverly. But it's still going to be a while before Cork & Kerry at the Park opens, allowing White Sox fans another place to second guess Ozzie Guillen's decision making.
    We'll do our best to keep you abreast of any updates.

    I walked past there last week. They still have paper up on the windows, but it seems like they're pretty close to opening. You can see pictures are are already hung up on the wall.
