Double Door Closed

By Nick Gale, WLS-AM News

(CHICAGO) The Double Door, a Wicker Park music club that’s been on North Milwaukee Ave. for some 23 years, has closed. Sheriff’s police Monday morning posted a “No Trespassing” sign and a short time later the locks were changed.

The building owners began eviction proceedings back in November of 2015 and the club owners have been fighting since.

Lawyers for the building owners says the Double Door owners had missed multiple deadlines to post appeals and haven’t paid use or occupancy fees since December. The attorney says if they had paid, the club could’ve stayed open through June.

The building owners do not have any immediate plans for the property. The club owners were last were looking to relocate the club to a Milwaukee Ave. location in Logan Square, but there is no word on those efforts.
