Openings
The Palmer House Hilton (124 S. Wabash Ave., Loop) has a new tenant in Potter’s Chicago Burger Bar. On the menu: quarter-pound patties topped with flavors meant to represent the city’s different neighborhoods. Humorous case in point: the Logan Square, which comes topped with bourbon-infused bacon.
To the delight of Northwest side beer enthusiasts, Alarmist Brewing has opened a taproom (4055 W. Peterson Ave., Sauganash), allowing them to drink Pantsless Pale Ale straight from the source.
