Rite Liquors

Iconic/NotableLincoln Park · Liquor Store Community-sourced, unverified
📍 1521 W Fullerton Ave, Chicago, IL 60614

Rite Liquors carries Malört, the bitter Swedish-style wormwood liqueur that Carl Jeppson started selling on Chicago's Near North Side in the 1920s as a Prohibition-era "stomach tonic" — it's become the drink visitors get dared into trying as a rite of passage, and this store is a reliable place to find a bottle or a shot of it.

Dish Gem$$
A souvenir bottle of Malört is the definitive Chicago spirit, bitter and famously polarizing — a real, if unusual, way to bring the city home with you.
