Medium Risk

The health department has logged 15 inspections at Duke's Chicago Bar and Grill, the earliest from 2010. On Dec 20, 2016, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. The most recent inspection at Duke's Chicago Bar and Grill is from Dec 20, 2016, and nothing newer appears in the public record.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around six violations each, up from closer to four violations before.

When inspectors have written things up, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” has been the most frequent reason, cited 10 times.

Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Duke's Chicago Bar and Grill trails the local norm. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
