The family-oriented bar and grill would take up a portion of the Fuller's Home and Hardware space, but only if a change is made to the village's liquor code first.
Doug Fuller said his Dips & Dogs customers often tell him he should open a sports bar in downtown Hinsdale where families can have an inexpensive meal and adults can enjoy a alcoholic beverage or two. Fuller’s going for it, but he and one of his partners say they need a change in the village’s liquor code first. The Village of Hinsdale Administration and Community Affairs (ACA) Committee discussed on May 6 Fuller’s idea to turn a portion of the Fuller’s Home & Hardware space into a family-oriented sports bar and grill, as well as the extension of liquor-service hours beyond 10:30 p.m. on weeknights and 12 a.m. on weekends that Fuller desires. The goal, Fuller said, is to have a restaurant like Palmer Place in La Grange for the people of …

The Maureen Claffy Fine Art Fair, which begins Thursday evening and runs through Sunday, will benefit two local nonprofits.
The doors of the vacant Gap building at the corner of 1st and Washington streets in downtown Hinsdale will be open throughout this Mother's Day weekend. Hinsdale artist Maureen Claffy is selling her fine art, prints and jewelry from Thursday to Sunday and part of the proceeds will go to the District 181 Foundation and St. Isaac Jogues Council of Catholic Women's charity, "Women in Need." The show is called "With Love on Mother's Day: A Celebration of Home and Family." Claffy grew up and currently lives in Hinsdale. This weekend's show will be her biggest solo show to date, and though it was completely planned in only the last 10 days, the community has rallied through email and word of mouth. It helps that the show's theme is something …

The restaurant's management says it's aiming for a late May or early June opening.
Nearly a year after the plan for a new Fox’s location in Hinsdale was announced, its opening appears to be approaching.

The vaunted food critic visits Hinsdale’s new Peter Burdi restaurant in the old Hinsdale Theatre and has a lot of praise to offer.
A review by the Chicago Tribune’s Phil Vettel has appeared for Burr Ridge resident Peter Burdi’s new restaurant CiNe Modern Taqueria in downtown Hinsdale, praising the visuals of the dining room and the food alike and stating that the restaurant tones down Burdi’s typical European influences without sacrificing them altogether. “Peter Burdi isn't yet the king of west suburban dining rooms, but he sure rules over downtown Hinsdale,” Vettel writes, citing also Il Poggiolo and Nabuki in addition to CiNe. He lauds CiNe chef Yanitzin Sanchez, writing that “she always pays attention to the visuals. Her red-onion soup is a playful nod to French onion soup… Chicken breast in mole negro is nothing new, but Sanchez's presentation—the breast topped …
