About Maria's Packaged Goods and Community Bar

Maria's Packaged Goods and Community Bar is a Chicago institution that offers a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, reminiscent of home. The bar has a good selection of local brews, including Old Style and PBR, and a carefully curated mix of beers. It also features a top-notch selection of tequilas, bourbon, and other drinks, especially on a Friday night when a DJ plays good music. The vibe is lively and exciting, with old school R&B music creating a great atmosphere. The bar is dog-friendly and has a spacious patio, making it a nice spot to relax with a drink.

Inside, the space is full of artwork and outdoor furniture, including hanging swings, adding to the fun environment. The outside might not reveal what’s inside, but once in, visitors are greeted with a vibrant and energetic scene. The service can vary; one bar back was unhelpful when asked about the bartender’s whereabouts, but overall, the service is considered top notch.

Food options are available through the neighboring kitchen, Kimski, which offers dishes like the standard hot dog with dressed fries—highly recommended. The atmosphere is exciting and unique, making Maria's a place worth visiting again.
