Working on this block while Deadbolt is open is a hazard and an inconvenience. Multiple times we’ve have had to close early and lock patrons inside our business due to an ongoing brawl that had spilled out of Deadbolt. Co-workers have had to escort our patrons out or out the back emergency exit. This incident above is the second active shooting during business hours. People are now starting to avoid this block because of the aggressive behavior outside of Deadbolt, which is hurting our business and many others on the block. Our place of business is always full of our own friends and staff, I don’t want these people to have to fear coming to a place they consider very safe. We had people standing outside our bar during this shooting and could have easily been hit by stray bullets. Close this place already.
Michael supported: Shut Down Deadbolt Bar Due to Repeated Violent IncidentsEl Charro and Two Way Lounge were better, safer, and brought a better vibe to that corner. The corporate takeover of bars/restaurants makes the neighborhoods less cool and less safe. We can’t keep letting lame businesses open in the area just because it’s “trendy” and a “hot” neighborhood. The residents of the neighborhood do not frequent any of the three businesses. When you have to be wanded and patted down to enter why would you want to go? I’m not trying to get shot over stepping on someone’s Jordan’s or talking to someone’s girl. I already lived thru the 80’s and 90’s in Chicago.
Christopher supported: Shut Down Deadbolt Bar Due to Repeated Violent IncidentsMy best friend was violently assaulted at this bar on April 4, 2025. She was attacked by a man, left with deep gashes in her head that required emergency staples, and was thrown out of the bar—bleeding and in shock—without a single person offering help or calling for medical attention.
This bar has a long-standing reputation for violence, yet no action has ever been taken. The lack of accountability and basic human decency shown that night is unacceptable. It’s time to shut this place down before more people get hurt.
Kayla supported: Shut Down Deadbolt Bar Due to Repeated Violent IncidentsRecently, there was a celebrity event at this bar (I will not name the celebrity.) During the event there was a fight that not only put the celebrity in danger but put everyone in danger as an innocent bystander got knocked out and started bleeding. The bar didn’t do anything to ensure anyone was ok, the event continued, no police were called and no one was kicked out. I tried to a safe spot of the bar but the employees wouldn’t let me because that spot was only for employees. That shouldn’t have mattered at the point of violence happening. F*** Deadbolt, I’ll never go here again.
Calvin supported: Shut Down Deadbolt Bar Due to Repeated Violent IncidentsThis bar has a disgusting history of violence against women. A dear friend of mine was brutally assaulted at this bar, which required emergency medical attention. This place is extremely dangerous for patrons and should be shut down IMMEDIATELY to prevent further violent attacks on innocent people, as the owner(s) and staff clearly will do nothing to prevent or stop it.
William supported: Shut Down Deadbolt Bar Due to Repeated Violent IncidentsOn April 4, 2025 I was sexually harassed & physically assaulted by a group of men inside this bar. After losing consciousness from being hit, thrown down, and kicked in the head I was grabbed and taken out of the bar while covered in blood. Security offered no help or concern, and I later ended up at the emergency room to have my head stapled up. This bar is a danger to many, especially women who have been victims of multiple violent incidents at Deadbolt. By allowing this place to remain open we are only waiting for the next victims. I’m asking City Council to close this establishment to protect the Logan Square community.
Lucy supported: Shut Down Deadbolt Bar Due to Repeated Violent IncidentsPeople should be able to enjoy a night out without fearing if they will return home at the end of the night. Also, withholding surveillance footage is extremely despicable and it goes without saying, this establishment should not be open if they are not going to abide by the law and provide the information needed for people to receive justice.
nylah supported: Shut Down Deadbolt Bar Due to Repeated Violent IncidentsOne of my best friends was violently beaten by 3 grown men at this bar in early April. No one offered her help in way shape or form. After regaining consciousness she was immediately kicked out of the bar bleeding everywhere and no one asked her if she was okay or if she needed anything they just threw her out. She ended up having to get staples in her head because these “grown” men kicked her in the head multiple times while I was on the floor unconscious. Again, security was no help for this. This place needs to be shut down before anyone else gets hurt because of the violence and the negligence of the staff/owners who continue to let these things happen.
