A familiar gathering place is back in Highland Park.
Highland Bar & Kitchen has officially opened at Deerfield Road Plaza, bringing a relaxed sports bar atmosphere, classic American favorites, wood fired Neapolitan style pizza, and a community focused vibe to the neighborhood.
For longtime residents, the space may feel familiar. The location was once home to Player’s Grill, and the new concept is already attracting locals looking for a comfortable place to catch a game, enjoy a meal, and connect with friends.
Sometimes the best neighborhood spots are the ones that bring people together, and Highland Bar & Kitchen is hoping to do exactly that.
