L. Woods Tap & Pine Lodge celebrating 25 years in Lincolnwood
In a tough restaurant environment that has so many spots coming and going, it’s not often that an eatery gets to celebrate a quarter of a century in business.
January 2024 will mark 25 years for L. Woods Tap & Pine Lodge in Lincolnwood. The Northwoods-inspired supper club will honor the milestone with a week-long celebration from Jan. 11 to 17.
Menu specials will include $10 old fashioneds, $15 barbecue chicken and $25 baby back ribs.
Dine-in customers will also have a chance to to win a $250 gift certificate to the restaurant by filling out a "Mad Libs"-style fill-in-the-blank "Letter from the 'Woods."
The cabin-like building was initially the home of the Kenilworth Inn in the 1950s. L. Woods opened in January 1999 at the corner of Lincoln and Kostner avenues as a successor to another Lettuce Entertain You Restaurant concept, Bones.
Since then they’ve dished out more than quarter of a million orders of its customer-favorite French Onion Au Gratin soup from a menu that features American classics and barbecue specialties.
"We are excited to celebrate our 25th anniversary, and are especially grateful to our family of employees, loyal guests and supportive community,“ said LEYE Executive Partner & Divisional President Marc Jacobs. ”We feel fortunate to be the meeting place and kitchen for so many special occasions and celebrations.“
