Two years ago, Nobody’s Darling broke the mold of LGBTQ+ bars in Chicago, and the Andersonville tavern was named a James Beard Award finalist in 2022. Now, the welcoming neighborhood tavern, after more than nine months of anticipation, is unveiling an expansion that will nearly double its capacity. Co-owner Renauda Riddle and business partner Angela Barnes unveiled the new space on Wednesday, September 20 with an opening event so patrons could tour what was once the bar’s neighboring space at 1746 W. Balmoral Avenue. The expansion includes 45 additional seats, bringing the bar’s capacity to 110. A second bar in the new lounge-style space will also help create extra wiggle room for both bartenders and patrons. . #Lesbian Culture
