According to patrons and a notice on the restaurant’s website, Dylan’s Raw Bar & Grille, 15402 Mack, announced a temporary closure effective July 30, with plans to reopen soon in the same location or elsewhere in the community.

Dylan’s — a Park staple since 2007 that is as well known for its cuisine as for its concerts — is currently housed in a building owned by Robert Bashara, the Park man who has been accused of hiring someone to kill the man he allegedly hired to kill his wife. Bashara is in jail on a solicitation of murder charge, and was slated, at press time, to return to court July 31 with his new attorney, Mark Kriger. He has not been charged in connection with the slaying of his wife, Jane Bashara, this January at the home they shared. Bashara has maintained his innocence with regard to his wife’s murder and the reported plot to have handyman Joseph Gentz killed in jail.

A statement signed by restaurant staff on the Dylan’s website reads, in part: “We have enjoyed entertaining you, and look forward to doing so again in the near future.”

The restaurant’s owner could not be reached for comment.

Dylan’s was formerly Tom’s Oyster Bar, another popular eatery. For more information, visit http://dylansrawbar.com.
