Rite Liquors

Rite Liquors isn’t just an old man bar—it’s a place to hang out while you’re growing old, as many regulars already have in the 90 years this neighborhood slashie has been in business. It’s got an impressive liquor selection, from Woodford Reserve premium bourbon to Zubrowka bison grass vodka to Plymouth sloe gin, and the juke­box is just as eclectic, with Latin hip-hop sandwiched between Sarah McLachlan and La Bouche. Open at 7 AM most days, this place attracts early drinkers­—and late ones, and everything in between. You can often find the same guys on the stools at noon and midnight, growing ever more wobbly as the day drags on.  1649 W. Division, 773-486-6257. —Julia Thiel
