Maria's Packaged Goods & Community Bar

Was here last night with a couple of friends and honestly had one of the worst nights out in a while. The bartender was good along with the drinks, the problem lies in someone who works there that had a problem with his having my son there. This woman in question was taking pictures of our baby for some odd on reason and hiding away when she took the pictures. In which world is it ok to do that? He was sleeping and is still not even a year old. People with children also want to go out and have a life. To then proceed to mock and harass us as we were leaving is uncalled for. An utterly despicable way for any human to act.

Front staff let us in for a party of 10 with a baby in a stroller. We enjoyed our time but the mother of the baby was also enjoying her time without ordering anything from the bar on a slow Sunday. While we were leaving the bar, a short man with a hat started talking down on my friend which is a mother of the baby shaming her that her baby is out at 10pm at the patio. They then kicked us out and started insulting the mother of the baby in attendance before recording us defending our friend of the baby. I really recommend any mother of a child or any women in gender to come to Maria’s to enjoy a drink or food at there patio.

Love the back bar, plenty of beer selections and a great atmosphere

Good drinks and nice outdoor area. Just wish they served food. You can however order food from somewhere else and get it delivered. So that's nice.

Classic Chicago bar that keeps getting better year after year! Love that they still have packaged goods in front and the original bar on the side. The new area is fantastic!

One of my all time favorite bars. Get the Palmer’s pint and any of their expertly picked beers from local breweries. And get a shot of Malort just for fun. I will keep coming back forever.

Went here 1st time after a long time. Expanded the out door seating and the food was great. Still have a large selection of beer and drinks. Not gonna lie felt a little judged while having drinks. Not sure what that was about.

This place used to be the best. Whatever made it special is gone in my opinion. Beer selection has gotten weak, no food during the week. Steadily gets worse every time I go

hidden gem with a great selection of beer. the bartender gave us great recommendations when we asked for his advice. no tv's or distractions so this place would be a great spot for a date or for grabbing a few drinks to try out and enjoy company

You may have a chance at Maria (or it's proprietor, I wasn't sure) greeting you at the front. You'll be struck at the aura of wisdom she has from the start, holding reign over a liquor front that doesn't rival a Binnys in selection but somehow but you know that Binnys could never. There's not much else to say - come here for some unique cocktails and a good selection of beer, stay for the nice vibe. You can also likely find free street parking around it.
