New River North Country Restaurant & Bar to Open in Summer 2012
CHICAGO – Buzz has already been building around RJ and Jerrod Melman’s latest project in River North – a country concept at 435 N. Clark Street that was announced several weeks ago and slated to open in summer 2012. A detail that has been kept quiet, until now, is a new partnership that has been forged between the Melmans and two of the most respected names in the city’s country music scene – Joe’s Bar founders Ed Warm and Tom DiSanto.
