🍗 The owners of Borough are closing the North Loop restaurant in late June and will open fried chicken restaurant Revival in the space, per Fox9.

They purchased the Revival brand in 2025 after an abrupt shutdown.

🍔 Parlour, the popular subterranean cocktail bar and burger spot run by the same hospitality group, will close briefly for renovations.

⛰️Altera, a fine dining restaurant just off Ford Parkway in St. Paul's Highland Park neighborhood, announced on Instagram that it will close at the end of the month.

The restaurant replaced the more casual Agra Culture concept on the ground floor of the Finn Apartments building on Cleveland Avenue about a year and a half ago.

🍻 Popular Plymouth restaurant Rock Elm Tavern has rebranded as Rock Elm Revival under its new owner, per CCX.

Changes (besides the name) include new "elevated" menu items and an on-site smoker for pulled pork. A golf simulator in the building has been turned into a dedicated space for live music and private events.

🥧 Laune Bread on East Lake Street is running its annual rhubarb drive.

Customers can trade in clean stocks that are at least a foot long (and firm, not floppy!) for store credits Wednesday through Saturday.
