"The response at ProgressBar has been overwhelmingly positive. Both bars have the same vision statement-"where everyone feels important." "Management, employees, customers and community-we are singularly driven to provide an environment of inclusion that's welcoming and supportive to everyone," Sikora said. Romme worked with Progress Bar's creator and managing partner David Sikora for the past few months, after several years working for Hilton Corporation. "It's a huge space, with a great vibe and an incredible staff." Phoenix Bar is owned and managed by the same team that opened the popular Progress Bar this past June, at the corner of Halsted and Roscoe in the heart of Chicago's Boystown neighborhood. "I count myself among so many for whom Hunter's was their first gay bar experience," said the new PhoenixBar General Manager Justin Romme. Higgins Road is only minutes from all of Chicagoland via I-90, and is only minutes from O'Hare. For more than 30 years, Hunter's has been the premier gay nightclub in the Chicago suburbs. The new nightclub, Phoenix Bar & Nightclub, has some big shoes to fill. Sometime in early to mid October, a familiar home for thousands of Chicago area gays will get a new look and a new name, when the real estate and assets of the legendary Hunter's Nightclub in suburban Elk Grove Village will transfer to new ownership and management.
