Downtown Plainfield Restaurant to Close

Bin 48 owner Kathleen Hammack recently announced plans to retire.

Another downtown Plainfield restaurant is getting ready to close its doors.

Last week, Bin 48 Wine Bar and Grille owner Kathleen Hammack announced her plans to retire next month. The restaurant, which boasts a large wine list plus steaks, seafood and pasta dishes, is located at 24205 W. Lockport St.

" ... After much deliberation, I have decided to retire," Hammack said in a message posted to the restaurant's Facebook page, adding that the eatery's five-year lease expires on March 1. The restaurant opened in 2009.

"On behalf of me and my family, I sincerely thank you for the honor of serving you and for all of your support throughout the years," Hammack said.

The restaurant will remain open until Feb. 16, according to Hammack, and all gift certificates can be used until that date.

The closure will leave another void in the downtown dining scene, following the closing of Fiesta Mexicana in November. Hopes for an upscale seafood restaurant downtown were dashed last fall when a Chicago-area restaurateur scrapped plans to rehab the former Baci restaurant building.
