F&L at 1330 Tickets

The F&L at 1330 is a play that looks at gentrification of a dive bar on Chicago’s Near North Side through the eyes of the owners. Carla and Bernardo are the brother-and-sister owners of Fernando and Lalo’s, a bar started by their father and uncle. It’s been in its location at 1330 N. Larrabee Street since the 1970s. But as the neighborhood goes “upscale,” a bar like the F&L becomes a relic on valuable land. With city government and developers circling, Carla and Bernardo also confront family issues that force them to decide whether it’s worth it to fight “progress.”
