The historic 3 Star Tavern on 22nd Street in Chicago Heights will close April 30 after 87 years in operation.
3 Star Tavern in Chicago Heights has served generations of residents of the Hungry Hill Neighborhood, but is set to close April 30.
Two doors down from the modest house his Italian immigrant grandfather built in 1904 “from the remnants of two railroad boxcars and some extra lumber,” the bocce courts at 3 Star Tavern at 22nd and Wallace streets had become the social hub of the working class Hungry Hill neighborhood adjacent to Inland’s first steel plant.
When Luke Marthaler and his brother Jake Marthaler purchased 3 Star in 2013, people who would come out on bocce league nights would ask him where his family was from. “Even though it’s a better game than bean bags,” he said. “More people can play. You can be a bad player and still get away with playing without being absolutely run over like with bean bags.”
Marthaler said he won’t miss the stress of running a tavern and restaurant, but he will miss the people he’s met along the way, like “the guy who comes in here every day and spends a buck on a beer.”
