Andrew Rizzo
Andrew Drummond Rizzo, age 31 grew up in Park Ridge, IL but has been a working member of the Lakeview East community ever since he was a young adult. As a third generation owner of property near the historic Wrigley Field, Andrew has had the privilege of growing up around the influence of many of the contributing members that make Lakeview East the beautiful place it is today.
Andrew's family business boasts a 71 year history that started back in 1946 when Wrigleyville was unrecognizable to most patrons today. What started as a Mobile Oil Gas Station with an adjoining Auto Repair Shop & Car Wash transformed into a modern & inviting multi-faceted Sports Bar;
Rizzo's Bar & Inn.
Andrew, a former KU grad always had a keen eye for architecture and design. His demand for perfection is apparent in all aspects of the newly designed RBI, that is a blend of both new and old. The inside of the bar provides a quaint and inviting space for sports fans and drink connoisseurs to relax and indulge in a rehabbed space that highlights elements of the previous structure. The outside patio is an evolving space that boosts a high retractable patio, many a number of TV's and 8,000 square feet of space that easy transforms to event spaces that have housed anything from weddings to first birthday parties.
Andrew's keen business sense has allowed him to burst onto remodeled Wrigley rehab and leave his stamp as one of the best go to bars to visit both in and out of season. RBI serves as an insurmountable source of pride for the family with Andrew at the forefront of business.
