A large, respectful but frustrated group of southeast Oak Park neighbors gathered on Feb. 1 in the auditorium of Irving School, 1125 S. Cuyler Ave., to listen to and talk with an array of Oak Park police officials led by Chief Shatonya Johnson. The topic was years of neighbor upset over a succession of bars located at 6319 W. Roosevelt Rd. in Berwyn. Bill O'Neill, a resident of the 1150 block of Cuyler for 30 years, cited challenges going back to 2004 when it first became a nightclub under names ranging from Inclusive to Antonio's to Krew Rock Lounge and, since 2018, Mike's Place.
