Aloha Poke closes Chicago-based Aloha Poke Co., which debuted June 27 at 4465 Mission Blvd. in a brand new building where Der Wienerschnitzel once stood, has shuttered after just two months. The restaurant chain reportedly has been involved in a dispute with other poke restaurants, whom Aloha Poke was allegedly threatening with legal action for using derivations of the words “aloha” with “poke,” which Aloha Poke was claiming were an infringement on its company trademark.
\nSince July, Aloha Poke reportedly has been sending out cease-and-desist letters to similarly named businesses, saying they needed to find new names, even longtime Hawaiian poke eateries. The negative attention has resulted in numerous viral posts accusing Aloha Poke of predatory business practices and culturally appropriating Hawaiian words and traditions.

The bar will offer beer, wine and a wide selection of sakes and sake bombs.
