Ditka’s iconic Gold Coast steakhouse could close as lease nears final days

Bear down — really!

Hold da pork chop!

Legendary Bears coach Mike Ditka’s iconic Gold Coast eatery has been the recipient of a sack attack.

Sneed has learned the lease for Ditka’s restaurant, located in the vintage Tremont Chicago Hotel at 100 E. Chestnut St., will likely NOT be renewed at year’s end.

“Look, it’s been a great run,” Ditka told Sneed.

“It was unexpected. They sort of hit us by surprise,” he said. “But it’s over. Done. I’m disappointed. We were there a long time. But I’ve learned nothing is forever.
