Island-Inspired Theme Bar and Grill Hiring In Evergreen Park

An island attitude is coming soon to Evergreen Park offering comfort food and drinks with a tropical flair, music and sports, and local jobs.

The Red Palm Bar and Grill is taking over the old Cavatappi space at 3020 W. 95th St., Evergreen Park. The restaurant is accepting applications for servers, bartenders and kitchen staff from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, starting June 15. Interested candidates may apply in person or apply online at Shiftgig.

The new owners have wrapped the old Cavatappi sign and replaced it with a sign that reads, “What next?” on the sand colored stucco building. The outdoor patio is already shrouded in bamboo where diners can sit under 20-foot tall palm trees while surrounded by flora waterfalls.

Mike Nix, former executive director of the Beverly Arts Center and veteran of 12,000 wedding receptions, is the owner and creator of the island-inspired theme restaurant, according to information on the Illinois Secretary of State website.

An entry on the Red Palm’s Facebook page says the restaurant will offer made-from-scratch comfort foods and a tropical-inspired menu, from starters through after-dinner fare.

A full-service bar features a roster of signature tropical cocktails and a wall-size projection screen showing Chicago’s sports teams in action all designed to conjure up an “island attitude meets local latitude.”

The Red Palm is aiming for a mid-July opening at 3020 W. 95th St., Evergreen Park. Check out the bar and grill’s Facebook page for updates.
