Barba Yianni Grecian Taverna, a neighborhood favorite since 1989, has suddenly closed its doors after a commercial eviction. Walking past the familiar spot on Lincoln Ave, locals were met with metal panels blocking the view inside—no warning, just an abrupt end to decades of moussaka, saganaki, and lively nights. The restaurant’s licenses were still valid, and the interior looked untouched, making the closure even more shocking. For many, Barba Yianni was more than a place to eat—it was a community gathering spot. What does this mean for the heart of Lincoln Square? #Food #LincolnSquare #ChicagoEats
