T's Bar

5025 N. Clark Street

T's Bar was shut down by the Cook County Sheriff's Office Tuesday, March 26, 2013 after its owner, Colm Treacy went months without paying rent, said building owner Julie Mai.

"He can open tomorrow — tonight — if he pays me," she said of Colm Treacy, who not only owns T's but also The Glenwood Bar and newly opened Sidecar Bar and MorseL Restaurant in Rogers Park.

Mai said Treacy hadn't paid rent in "six or eight months," even though he was making "a lot of money" at the popular 12-year-old (2001) LGBT hangout.

Mai — who said she's owned the building at 5025 N. Clark Street since 1994, when she had a restaurant of her own there — was changing the locks on the building Tuesday afternoon.
