Cullinan's Stadium Club

Customers rescued the bar and grill at 11610 S. Western Ave. in late December with a GoFundMe campaign.

The shop will open at 8 a.m. Saturday for Record Store Day — an annual celebration of vinyl.

The event often serves as a homecoming for transplanted South Siders, the club's president said.

Owner Dan Cullinan expects to reopen Friday afternoon and has already planned an Irish New Year party.

The year was marked by a police shooting, a series of protests, a proposed school overhaul and more.

The restaurant at 1442 W. 103rd St. in Beverly is among three businesses closed in recent weeks.

Owners of Beverly Records are behind the effort to help the neighboring bar that closed Dec. 8.

Cullinan's Stadium Club in Morgan Park was shut down Dec. 8 by the Illinois Department of Revenue.

The bar and grill at 11610 S. Western Ave. in Morgan Park was known for its half-pound burgers.

Some Western Avenue bars are cheering for the North Siders, but not McNally's in Morgan Park.

Beverly Records will have a special selection of $2 records and 25-cent 45s at Cullinan's Stadium Club.

The group will visit the Stadium Club, McNally's, O'Rourke's Office, Barney Callaghan's and Rhino Bar.

Dan Cullinan is making changes to his bar in hopes of attracting users of the Morgan Park Sports Center.

Emergency crews said the driver seemed to suffer little more than a broken hand in a wreck early Friday.

The return of the South Side Pub Crawl was spurred by support of charities near and dear to Beverly.
