    Coolest bartender and drinks at Rite Liquor!
    Scott S.

    Happened by chance to walk past this Bar/liquor store. We stopped in to check out the place. The whole place seems to be a liquor store with one side doubling as a bar. Unique setup but man did we have a blast. Bartender was the coolest helping us pick everything from beers to shots. There's a pool table in the back and a juke box for tunes. Laid back crowd.

    What can I say more about Rite Liquors than AMAZING! This is a hole in the hell wall and when you come here you are family! When you walk in you are not sure if it's a liquor store or bar but then you giggle with excitement that it's both! Drinks here should be changed to God's drinks because they are poured out by a little old lady who makes each drink with love. I had a PBR y'all boy but still felt the love when she handed me this perfect craft drink! God has graced us with this great location and if I lived here I'd be a regular! They took amazing care of us the patrons the short hour we spent in their tender loving care! The drinks flow like milk and honey and the beers are crisper than a witches brew! This place for sure put a spell on me and now I'm theirs! I highly recommend this without a doubt this place and I'm sure you will love one of America's best hole in the walls!

    Such a great dive bar. Cheap drinks, fun characters, good service. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Wicker Park.

    Great place to grab a drink with friends!…read more Having just left another event, a group of us were on the hunt to grab a quick drink. We looked up and there was Stocks and Blondes. As it was about 9 degrees F, it was good enough for me just to get out of the cold. We came in to a moderately busy crowd on a weeknight, about a week before Christmas. Some Christmas decorations around and you could see some of the other patrons were stopping in after their respective office Christmas parties. Great vibe and a really good selection of drinks. Our server was great as well. Patient as we were a handful of people at multiple tables. Oh...there's a rule - DO NOT MOVE TABLES! We thought we'd move two tables together for our larger group and were quickly shut down. We were directed to the multiple signs on the wall asking patrons not to do so. Totally on us. We were told that the rule is in place because the floors are uneven and the tables then become a bit wonky. Understood. One flaw, but not related to the eating/drinking portion. The men's restroom seems to have a plumbing issue. The stall is blocked off as out of order and there are signs apologizing about an issue with the plumbing. Fair enough. It was about as clean as a downtown Chicago bar bathroom can be, but the toilets not being able to flush (even the urinals) seems a bit odd. There was another person in there when I stopped in who seemed to be a regular. He mentioned that the plumbing out of order issue has been a thing for several months now. That's weird, if true. Would I go back? Absolutely. Given the circumstances, I'd have to be at the right place at the right time to do so, but I totally would. I'd recommend this upbeat little place for anyone to stop in for a drink and a good time. Whether on your own or with a group, the place is friendly and fun for all.

    We visited Bar Sotto during Chicago Restaurant Week and had a really enjoyable overall experience…read more The space has a cozy, dimly lit, intimate vibe perfect for a date night or a relaxed dinner with friends. It feels upscale but still comfortable. Service was attentive and paced well, especially considering it was Restaurant Week and fairly busy. The Restaurant Week menu offered a great variety. We started with the crispy arancini, which were perfectly golden on the outside and creamy inside with a rich glaze that added a nice depth of flavor. The wild mushroom risotto had great earthy flavor and was very rich, definitely a heavier dish but satisfying if you are in the mood for something indulgent. The gnocchi were soft and pillowy with fresh basil and roasted tomatoes that brightened the dish nicely. For entrées, the filet mignon was cooked beautifully, tender and medium rare with a flavorful sauce that complemented it well. The chicken parmesan had a solid crisp and good seasoning, though it leaned more classic than standout. Portions overall felt fair for the prix fixe price. Dessert was a sweet finish. The tiramisu was light, creamy, and not overly heavy, which we appreciated. Overall, 4 stars. Great ambiance and solid execution across the board. While nothing completely blew us away, it was a well done Restaurant Week experience and I would definitely come back to try more from their regular menu.

    It's a really cool place as you walk in. The ambiance is dark and sultry. We were only stopping…read morein for a few drinks so we sat at the bar. The bartenders were friendly. Why a lower rating? We ordered a cocktail off of their menu and asked for it without one ingredient (simple syrup). They said they might be able to do it, but they would have to make it from scratch. Wait, does this mean their cocktails are all premade sitting in a jar under the bar? If I'm ordering a cocktail from a bar downtown & paying downtown prices, I'd like to think they're all going to be made from scratch by my bartender. The drink turned out pretty weak. We also had a smoked bourbon cocktail that was really nice, smoked in the glass at the bar with you.

There are some very choice finds that all the untappd and beer advocate faithful are seeking out. I was pleased and then some, even getting some nice recs from the bartender based on some newer brewery offerings and my taste profile. The place was easy to get in and find a good spot on a Tuesday night at prime time. Easy to order, easy to settle up. Did I say it was easy?! Some Tool was playing when I drank my stout. Appropriate. Other 90s nu metal and grunge followed. The free popcorn wasn't bad either. Prices are appropriate depending upon the beer you get. I shall return!
