I was bummed when I heard that Hotch-A-Do, 1813 E. Kenilworth Pl., was closing. I am a big fan of their chili and have seen a couple of really intimate shows there in the past five years.

Luckily, they are only closing for a couple of months.

Hotch-A-Do will close on April 2 and reopen in early June. The East Side bar and restaurant will undergo a remodel and return with a revamped menu with an emphasis on brunch.

Currently, anyone who dines at Hotch-A-Do until the closing date is invited to fill out a survey and will receive a coupon for a free meal after it reopens this summer.
