![]() "I count myself among so many for whom Hunter's was their first gay bar experience," said the new PhoenixBar General Manager Justin Romme. "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. Romme worked with Progress Bar's creator and managing partner David Sikora for the past few months, after several years working for Hilton Corporation. 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. ![]() "The response at ProgressBar has been overwhelmingly positive. When we heard that the Hunter's space was for sale, we acted immediately-the best gay bar in the suburbs, hands down." The new owners recognize there is a huge legacy to be preserved in the 6,500 square foot space.
