Rite Liquors

Chicago
Dive Bar
$$$$

In a space once occupied by a polka club in the 1920s, Rite Liquors has been operating as a liquor store and dive bar since the 70s. With an ample selection of things to do and consume -- like scratch off the lottery tickets you couldn’t help but buy, drink cans of Busch Light paired with a bag of chips or a Hostess cake, and grab a pack of smokes for the road. It’s like an old gas station in stock selection and fluorescent lighting, a dive bar in atmosphere (the lights dim as you travel to the back towards the bar), but above all, a liquor store with a selection you may not expect from a dark, neon-lit corner store.
