You've probably heard that it's a tough game for restaurants out there right now. Staffing shortages brought on by the pandemic are impacting restaurants throughout the city, resulting in abbreviated hours, adjustments to operations and sometimes even temporary pauses in business.
The latter is true for Palomino Bar, 2491 S. Superior St., which has temporarily closed for dinner and bar service.
The bar will continue to host private events, dinner parties and whiskey socials, with hope of reopening next year for normal service.
"We're simply adjusting for the moment so we can get through the industry recovering," says founder, CEO and managing partner Valeri Lucks.
In the meantime, you should totally get tickets for their annual peach social!
Palomino Peach Social

This year's social, which takes place on Wednesday, July 27 from 6 to 9 p.m. is a ticketed event with guaranteed seating. Tickets are available online for $65 per person.
