Stanley's Kitchen and Tap closes after 25 years

CHICAGO (WLS) -- It's been a go-to nightspot for a generation of Lincoln Park residents, but tonight Stanley's Kitchen and Tap will shutter permanently.

The popular spot has been a fixture of the neighborhood for 25 years at the intersection of Lincoln, Sedgwick and Armitage. Stanley's co-owners said the closing is due to a long-running dispute with the building's owner over the price of rent.

Co-founder Donnie Kruse died last year. The remaining owners said they could eventually reopen the restaurant in a new location, though no immediate plans have been announced.
