Popular Illinois Bistro Will Be Closing In The Middle Of March
A place in Illinois that consistently has given us Halloween vibes all year long while serving up delicious food and energy drinks will be closing its doors this spring.
The popular restaurant and bistro in the Quad Cities opened its doors in Rock Island back in 2017 but the owners are closing the doors to do something different and do it on their own accord. There is a closing date but you'll want to make one final visit before they run out of their popular food and energy drinks.
