Albany Park is in for a treat. ANGELO’s Wine Bar owner Ramez
Fakhoury is kicking off July by hosting ANGELO’s Wine Bar GIVING
BACK, a neighborhood BLOCK PARTY CELEBRATING THE COMMUNITY WITH
PROCEEDS FROM THE OPTIONAL $5 cover being donated for neighborhood
improvement. The outdoor event will be held from 4 to 10:30 p.m.
Saturday, July 1, outside of ANGELO’s Wine Bar (3026 W. Montrose
Ave, CHICAGO, IL 60618; 773-539-0111). Complimentary beer and wine
will be served while supplies last.
For this epic, family-friendly block party, North Whipple Avenue will
be closed for one block, from West Montrose north to the alley, giving
people ample room to roam around and enjoy live music, games, a
50-foot tall bouncy house, beer, wine and of course, delicious
Angelo’s Wine Bar food.
For diners who want to taste the full menu, the restaurant and its
newly opened outdoor patio will operate full service as usual. The
menu offers an eclectic collection of Italian and contemporary
American specialties from Executive Chef Julia Helton and is
complemented by Angelo’s extensive selection of unique wines,
cocktails and draught beer.
Outside at the block party, guests can order Angelo’s handcrafted
and classic pizzas—simply order at the hostess desk inside the
restaurant, take a number and when it’s ready, come back and pick it
up. No need to miss a note from the band or skip a toss at the corn
hole game.
With great food, neighborly people and terrific wine and beer,
Angelo’s Wine Bar Giving Back promises to be one blockbuster party.
Bring the whole family, even the four-legged family members, and enjoy
a perfect day together.
Contributing to the neighborhood is nothing new for Fakhoury. When he
opened Angelo’s Wine Bar last year, he donated ten percent of sales
to area schools (Water’s, St. Edwards, Bateman, Hibbard, Sauganash,
Queen of Angels, among others). He plans to make the Giving Back Block
Party an annual tradition.
ABOUT ANGELO’S WINE BAR
A long-time neighborhood staple, Angelo’s Wine Bar (3026 W. Montrose
Ave, Chicago, IL 60618; 773-539-0111) was originally a simple Italian
pizzeria founded by Jimmy Angelo in the 1960s. The business was sold
to Manny Fakhoury in 1983 who turned it over to his brother in 1999
before his nephew, Ramez Fakhoury started helping in 2004. In 2015,
Fakhoury completely reconfigured the take-out restaurant by purchasing
the adjacent storefront to expand Angelo’s and transforming the
space into a sophisticated sit-down restaurant. The restaurant’s
facelift extended to its menu as well. In addition to its famous
pizzas, the menu features Neapolitan style pasta, brunch, elegant
shared plates, a robust wine selection, house-made vermouth and
elegant cocktails. Additionally, live jazz is played in the restaurant
Wednesday and Saturday nights.
In June 2017, Fakhoury added new outdoor patio, the first on the West
Montrose side of the Chicago River’s north branch.
