    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!

    Probably one of the most unique bars I've ever been to. Drink prices can't be beat and the service is great. Don't come here if you're looking for hoity-toity cocktails and a stuffy, overpriced atmosphere. Do come if you're looking for an authentic neighborhood experience where you can let your hair down and relax with good music and good people without breaking the bank. Bonus: This bar is also half liquor store, so you can also purchase libations to-go!

Bar service can get a little backed up depending on how crowded the place is...one time I was there, the bar was so crowded that I couldn't flag down a server long enough to place a food order so, before I left, I placed my food order to go using the mobile route. Whatever, I didn't care. I'm pretty chill. Anyway, burger was still good when I walked it back to my hotel. When the place isn't slammed, service is like night and day and the place is a bit more quiet. Pop on in if you want to try some good beer, a tasty burger or other pub fare.

Everything was pretty good and I appreciate that the pretzel came with three different dipping sauces. It was super busy, even for a Saturday, but everyone was friendly and helpful. Not the most exciting or incredible meal, but a solid option.

    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.

There was also a wine tasting going on which was a fun activity. The service here was great and this atmosphere is unmatched. I'd never expect a place like this to be tucked away in the loop! We didn't eat here but I would come back to try the food. We just ordered the olives off the happy hour menu which were the perfect little snacky item.

Went here for the beer flights, it allowed for conversation and each person had an easy exit after finishing the five little beer tastes.

Then at the time we finished at the 3rd coast wine bar down the street on rush street(gone now).

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!
