NAPERVILLE, IL — The George is now open in downtown Naperville, transforming the former Bev's spot with an lighted pergola, fire pits and a menu of modern American cuisine. The indoor dining space with 19th-century vibes inspired by the nearby Pre-Emption House.

Helmed by Empire Restaurant Group, the team behind Bev's, Hizeman's and Empire Burger & Brew, The George aims to create a gathering place "where people can come together over great food and a beautiful setting — casual, but with polish," restaurant co-owner Will Cullen shared in a news release.
