Sports club is not a phrase heard often, if at all, but that is exactly what chef Dave Nalezny (Luxbar) is trying to build in Logan Square. Instead of a sports bar, which has a very specific vibe, he wants to build a sports club that has great food but is still a place where people can come to watch sports.
The club will be fittingly called Park & Field at 3509 W. Fullerton and should be opening within weeks. “The menu centers on elevated sports bar food, such as Buffalo chicken nuggets and chili made with skirt steak. Other highlights include a kung pao chicken sandwich and filet chop appetizer. Nalezny is working on the venue with this wife, Kitty Izzo, an event planner,” says this article in Chicago News Today. The thing that makes this bar/club unique? It will have bocce courts!
