Get to Le Passage as you’ve come to know it while you can! This Sunday’s party (click for info) might just be the last chance to toast the Gold Coast nightclub’s past. As soon as permits come through—which should be any day now—Le Passage will close for remodeling, and reopen in the fall.

Three-Headed Productions (Cans, Salud, Junior’s and Evil Olive), the nightlife group that took over the property earlier this year, has a lot of plans for the new place—including adding Shawn McClain (Spring, Green Zebra, Custom House) as consulting chef.

I
n addition to touting their new toque, Le Passage will sport a completely new look and concept—though the name will remain the same. However, the former Yow Bar, located in the back of the club, will soon become The Drawing Room at Le Passage.

What do you think: Was the old Le Passage in need of a new life?

No! Le Passage is THE SHIT just like it is. No need for a change.

Le Passage did get tired....so did the dress code. I stopped goping when sneakers and ball caps were allowed inside, c'mon, this was the princess of Chicago's nightlife.

I was okay with shelling out $6 for a beer here, but now, it's a rip off. Bring the life back to Le Passage....and they will come.

A friend of mine is working on the redesign of Le Passage. I think the new owners and new attitude are going to make this club THE hot place to be when they re-open in early November. The new Drawing Room with tapas-like small plates and great classic drinks is going to be a great place to hang.

I don't get it, What is different? Is there even going to be a seperate entrance for this "new" hot Drawing room?
