ROGERS PARK — The former Hop Haus sports bar, rebranded Rollands in November, hasn't opened its doors for weeks.

Owner Leon Toia, who sold his family's Leona's chain of restaurants also in November, didn't respond to calls seeking comment.

Reviewers on Yelp said the burger restaurant and bar at 7545 N. Clark St. hadn't opened recently.

Toia said he kept his Hop Haus bar and restaurant in the sale of Leona's. He said he had partnered with longtime employee Rolland Alter to re-brand the business.

Toia had said he wanted the restaurant to be "really focused on family" — rather than beer.
