A representative of Mount Prospect Public House was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Chicago’s request.

According to the article, “Partners Sam Vardalos and Nick Apostolopoulos plan to open the Mount Prospect Public House next month at 18 W. Busse Ave., the former longtime home of Ye Olde Town Inn.”

“Apostolopoulos, who owns the Stray Hen Cafe in Elmhurst and Ann Arbor, Michigan, has 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry and will run the day-to-day operation. Vardalos, who has been in the banking business for 30 years, also has a restaurant background.”

“We chose the name Mount Prospect Public House to welcome the public into our establishment here,” said Vardalos in the Daily Herald article, who’s worked alongside Apostolopoulos for 15 years. “We came up with a collective plan to come in and be involved with the community itself. Given our proven background and experience, I thought we would be a good fit.”

“The space will include 20 bar stools and 15 tables, Vardalos said. There will be two bars with high-top seating. Live music will be offered in two different “zones” and customers can play tabletop shuffleboard and darts. A popcorn machine also will be available.”

“Apostolopoulos said the restaurant will be a neighborhood bar and grill that will draw on menu items from his existing establishments. They also plan to offer pizza and a weekend breakfast buffet with Bloody Marys and bottomless mimosas, Vardalos added.”
