Bigger & Better: Del Sur Bakery Is Expanding — Plus, Ravenswood On Tap Returns This July with Beer, Bands & Mini Golf

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Ravenswood · June 24, 2026

Ravenswood neighbors have a sweet reason to look forward to the rest of summer. Del Sur Bakery, the wildly popular Argentine-inspired spot at 4639 N. Damen Ave., has temporarily closed its doors to undergo a major expansion into the adjacent space next door. Owner Justin Lerias says the goal is to welcome customers back into a brand-new, larger home by the end of summer — with July as the hopeful target. It's a bold, exciting next chapter for one of Ravenswood's most beloved neighborhood institutions, and the wait is sure to be worth it.

And while you're counting down to Del Sur's grand reopening, there's plenty more to fuel summer excitement. The Ravenswood On Tap Craft Beer & Music Fest is locked in for July 18–19 — a full weekend-long celebration on Malt Row featuring local beers, live bands, artists, mini golf, wine tastings, and more. It's one of the neighborhood's signature summer blowouts, and a can't-miss for anyone who loves great brews paired with great community energy.

Ravenswood is clearly in a season of growth — from expanding beloved bakeries to doubling down on the festivals that make this neighborhood unlike anywhere else in Chicago.
