Earlier today we did get the sad, sad confirmation via cellular telephone that Cans sports bar on Damen in Bucktown is closing. So that is no longer a rumor. We were told that the building will be retail, which a leasing agent confirmed. From what we hear through the tipline, the prospective tenant showing the most interest is a athleticwear or sports equipment store--which should be great news for that futuristic 24 hour gym up the street by Robin Richman and Larkspur. So folks, yes Cans is saying bye-bye this February, before March Madness starts which really makes us sad that moments like this won't be happening anymore.
