New Pub and Restaurant, Warren's Ale House, Opens in Wheaton

Warren's Ale House is now open at 51 Town Square in Wheaton, run by the same family that operates Ellyn's Tap & Grill in Glen Ellyn.

The owners of Ellyn’s Tap & Grill have opened their second restaurant, Warren's Ale House, at 51 Town Square in Wheaton, with plans to take the traditional American pub menu up a notch. The Hernandez family grew up in the restaurant industry. Working at their father's Mexican restaurants, George, Jerry and Leticia Hernandez learned the ins and outs of running an establishment. Brothers George and Jerry started with Ellyn's as kind of an experiment, Jerry said. "It took off from there," he said, with positive feedback and a lot of regulars and families.  Leticia joined her brothers as a server and bartender at Ellyn's, and is now a manager and part owner at Warren's.    Let Patch save you time.

New Alcohol Rule Helps Downtown Restaurants Defy Industry Trend, Bolster Summer Business

In June, Wheaton's City Council allowed restaurants with sidewalk seating to serve alcohol.

A simple ordinance change was all it took for Jane Halpin, manager of the Cellar Bistro in downtown Wheaton, to buck the economic headwinds and increase business at her downtown restaurant this summer. At the beginning of the season for sidewalk dining last June, Halpin led the effort to change two city code ordinances which prohibited alcohol sales on public property. One section of the code disallowed alcohol consumption outside licensed courtyard eating areas. Another disallowed alcohol consumption on public property. The Wheaton Liquor Commission unanimously approved the ordinance revision on June 10 and the City Council followed in a unanimous decision to change the law on June 21. As a result, three downtown restaurants experienced a…
