A great place to have a party, the ambience is great and I will be back here again next time, the drinks and food are delicious too!

A Chicago institution. If you don't like Maria's then you probably don't like Chicago. That's fine, but why u here? Maria's is a great place to chill with a cold one. They don't have a huge tap list,but they do have a nicely curated mix of local brews. They also have old standbys like Old Style and PBR. Even on a Sunday afternoon they had good music playing. Maria's feels like home. Thats Chicago.

One of the bar backs was very UNhelpful when we asked where the bartender was (likely on a bio break)...she gave a dry shoulder shrug. No words. No options.But aside from that, it's a nice spot. The music (we went on a Sunday) was amazing! Old School R&B, like what 90s rap groups sampled.BYOF it looks like. Drinks are decent. We'll be back. Hopefully the bar back is nicer.

Great unique handcrafted cocktails with a friendly flair. The place is clean and fully stocked with your desired libations. It has definitely elevated its game from years ago.

This place could easily be a 5 star experience and for most of the night it was. Unfortunately the bartender on Friday night, Sarah, was rude and ruined the experience. I was waiting for Dave to free up as he’s normally who I order from but Sarah was free so I asked her for a Maria’s ginger beer but handed me a Fever Tree ginger beer. Being at Maria’s I pushed back asking if she could please get me a Maria’s ginger beer and she quickly responded saying they were out. I pointed to the fridge where you could clearly see they had cold ginger beer so she begrudgingly rolled her eyes and made her way to grab me a ginger beer. She then threw my check on the bar and took back the fever tree ginger beer and left it at that. I’m not easily rattled but the interaction was rude and unnecessary to the extent that other patrons noticed her attitude too and suggested not tipping her for her service. I’ll be back to Maria’s because I know other folks that work there but if this was my first interaction I would not be returning based on this experience.

This place has an entire bar, club, and restaurant hidden behind this tidy package store. It's modern and hip without really trying. Food from Kimski is delicious and creative. Outdoor patios, Fantastic changing selection of Marz beer. Live DJs play on a terrible sound system.

Maria’s was a warm and friendly space. I don’t drink and yet the bartender made me a delicious drink similar to a Mai Tai (see below). My partner had a brown ale from the extensive tap selection. It was dry and jus the right amount of sweet.
