Broken cooler held raw chicken at 67°F, and hundreds of flies infested the bar and basement.

Standout Inspection

We flagged this inspection for serious public health concerns.

Key Findings

  • A cooler unable to maintain safe temperature was tagged and shut down; foods like eggs were stored at 67.6°F instead of 41°F or below.
  • Over 200 flies filled the bar area and 50-100 more infested the basement; one live roach found in a storage cooler.
  • Raw chicken stored directly above ready-to-eat foods like lettuce, lemons, and cookies, risking cross-contamination.

Key findings are derived directly from the inspector's notes from the Chicago Department of Public Health. See the full violation notes below.
