Alamo Drafthouse

Portillo’s is opening its first Wrigleyville location, a block from Wrigley Field, as its fifth Chicago restaurant. The new site will feature a walk-up window and small dining area, with an expected 2027 opening. The announcement coincided with National Hot Dog Day and includes a pop-up celebration event.

Alamo Drafthouse movie theaters have faced backlash after removing their 'no phones' policy, allowing customers to use cell phones to order snacks during films. Critics argue the change disrupts the cinematic experience, prompting calls to 'save the sanctuary' of movie theaters.
