Formerly Leon’s Ribs, The Squared Circle will accommodate approximately 48 patrons in addition to 15 seats in the bar area. Autographed wrestling memorabilia will adorn the walls and TVs will showcase live sports including wrestling PPVs.
Varon’s husband, Lee, will head up the kitchen which will include a custom-built brick oven. "I could not be more excited about returning to Chicago, and about bringing my concept to one of the greatest food cities in the world," explains Varon.
Varon is currently on board with TNA’s Impact Wrestling as "Tara" where she is one of their biggest stars and can be seen every Thursday night at Spike TV.
