Bonny’s, the beloved dive bar that closed in 2012 due to owner and landlord dispute is going to be reincarnated as another bar. The now vacant space at 2714 N. Milwaukee and its 2nd floor have been purchased by Jared Savocchi, a man who used to work in finance but is now following his dream to open a tavern.
Fans of Bonny’s shouldn’t expect to find a resurrection of its former self but one that will mimic the casual and chill atmosphere it used to have. Savocchi explains in this DNAinfo article by Paul Biasco how he doesn’t want to create a cocktail bar or the kind of place that’s hot one minute but not the next. Sounds like the new owner just might do the old bar proud.
