Cash only, classy old fashion feel. 1960's 1970's feel. Great bartenders great prices
Very lowkey spot, with good vibes and atmosphere, cheap drinks, cash only, atm on site
They say it's a dive bar institution, but it felt more like a quiet afternoon hang. Surprisingly mellow for a weekday, with just a few folks nursing drinks. Not the raucous scene I'd heard about. Good for a low-key break, though.

Known for its friendly bartenders, including the outstanding Tony, and cozy ambiance, Richard's Bar is a great spot to relax with friends. Visitors often enjoy the reasonably priced drinks, especially the dirty martini and Richard's crafted whiskey, and appreciate the nostalgic, no-frills environment that captures the true feel of old Chicago. The bar attracts a great mix of locals and visitors, all appreciating incredible music and the welcoming atmosphere.
