Half Sour Looks to be Moving Into Former Blackie's Space (755 S. Clark)

We posted about Blackie's closing back in June.  At that time, one of our readers noted that they heard a deli concept was moving in.  However, since then we haven't heard much.

Fast forward to last week and we had a neighbor give us a tip about a new restaurant called "Half Sour" coming to the spot. Judging by some Instagram searching, it appears that's confirmed:

#halfsour finally has a home! Meet our newest hire to man the bar. We are just as excited as this guy to be in the #southloop #printersrow and we will track our progress to keep you posted.

If you look at their Instagram account and if you're like us, you're going to be intrigued by the concept. All the food porn is enticing and any restaurant that derives their name from a pickle type will get the benefit of the doubt in our world.  This looks amazing to us...can't wait to try it out!
