The historic Gale Street Inn in Jefferson Park, closed in June 2025 due to staffing shortages, will reopen in early December under new owner Paulo Villabona, a local restaurant professional.
Villabona, who acquired the 62-year-old establishment from former owner George Karzas, plans to preserve its signature dishes, including its famous baby back ribs, restore much of the former staff, honor unused gift cards, and introduce live jazz and blues.
The restaurant, originally opened in 1963 and relocated in 1969, has long been a neighborhood staple, with the Karzas family owning it since the 1980s.
