The Iron Horse Ale House and soon-to-be new location for Zia’s Social in Norwood Park plans to open in October. The building also needed repairs and renovations, Joe Calabrese said.

The Calabreses said they decided to move a few blocks south because the lease for the Edison Park location was ending and their rent was going to increase. “The fact that it’s another neighborhood establishment I think bears well with people in the neighborhood ’cause they are familiar with Zia’s, so they are excited of what’s to come,” Doherty said. The new location was previously home to Iron Horse Ale House, which closed in March 2020 due to the pandemic, former owner Kevin Doherty said.ĭoherty said he still gets questions from neighbors and friends on what’s moving into the space, so he’s excited the Calabreses are taking over.

The restaurant will have high tops and booth tables, an outdoor patio and bar, two stages for music performances, a wood-fired pizza oven, a private party rental room upstairs and lots of low windows to create an inviting, open-air environment. Unlike Zia’s Trattoria, Zia’s Social won’t be as focused on a sit-down, fine-dining atmosphere rather, Calabrese wants to attract the weekend brunch crowd and offer ample seating for big parties wanting to get out and socialize. To bring in a food-driven place is our vision.” Zia’s Trattoria at 6699 Northwest Highway in Edison Park on May 25, 2021. “There really has been nothing but pubs and taverns in this neighborhood up until now. “The neighborhood is ready for a restaurant,” Calabrese said.
