Maria’s is doing a wonderful job keeping everyone safe from COVID. They had well spaced out indoor seating with numerous air purifiers. They also had hand sanitizer on every table. I’m impressed with their level of precautions. I felt very safe.

Got a regular cheeseburger and fries. Son got a bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a Cherry Blossom Shake. All were greasy spoon worthy and we enjoyed it. The Cherry Blossom Shake was interesting and a different flavor, not sure we would get that again, but at least we tried it.Bonus for having my favorite crinkle cut fries!

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff They do have an hour limit on the inside table so be ready to go bar hopping The world has become a different place with this pandemic its forcing us to go bar hopping lol.

Its hard to say how they really run due to the current situation. However all I can say is there Micheladas are really bad, really bland, tomato juice is very up front and takes over. There old fashioned was a little strong and served in a small paper cup. It really needed to be in a glass cup with ice. My friend couldnt finish it. Its on the pricey side for every drink.

What a unique and delicious fusion concept. Only problem was no place to sit because it was so popular. Loved the food and variety of brews.

Marias has done a simpley excellent job of handling the very very tough 2020, transitioning to a reasonable respectful environment that still stays true to their amazing growth curve

Definitely one of the best places in the area. Service is typically above par. This place has a good feel to it.

You have got to go here. Eat the wings or the ribs that they deliver to your table from the restaurant next door.Have a cocktail. Have 3. Make mine a Mule. This place is many places all in one.Theres 2 bars: one is quiet, old, and sedate, where the seats are full of regulars.Around that bar you enter into a huge open area that has booths, tables, soap boxes, all on wheels to arrange whatever seating area you need for your group size, and a bigger newer bar. Too cool.Maria has let her 2 sons take over the place. So far its still the best bar in Bridgeport.They have a liquor store at the entrance. Do not look up at the row of ventriloquist dummies. You will not sleep well if you stare into their eyes too long.

Had a fruit fly in my sour beer Oct 4 at 7:30pm while dining outside. It was cold too. Bit gross. If I wouldnt have waited for the foam to settle... Hopefully mgmt sees this and treats the problem, so it doesnt happen to someone else.

Always a great vibe! The day brunch is also incredible, check it out!

Extremely rude staff! I was in the neighborhood and I wanted to check the place. The lady at the desk with tattoos was very rude and was talking as if I did a big mistake walking in. Will never be returning here!

When you first walk in to the bottle shop, and then sneak through a door way to the bar, then wrap around the corner to the tap room, and finally discover the food counter. It makes for a wonderful adventure with so tasty food and drink.

When you first look at this spot, it seems like a run of the mill grocery or convenience mart. However, behind the curtain, there is a full on bar that brews its own beer. The cocktails are good and the brews are worth it. There used to be a pie shop next door that was top notch, but even with it gone, there is nothing that limits this being a great spot to wet your whistle. I would recommend coming here

Dont judge a book by its cover. There is a fantastic beer list. The food is unique, sortof a polish-Asian fusion. Everything was great, try the wings.Oh and the staff was super friendly and helpful. A real neighborhood gem

This was a special event! Brunchlox celebrate 10 years of food good vibes and House music.

Always have a great time here. Love that there is indoor and outdoor seating as well as ample space. Well over 20 beers on tap and most are local to the Midwest. Prices are very reasonable ($5-8 for beer, $5 happy hour cocktails) but I havent ever tried food from Kimskis. As far as I know you can still bring your own food though. Free parking in the area!

Inter Marias through the Bottle Shop offering a wide variety of beers and other Liquors. Then you enter into the old original bar and can stay there or walk into the newly renovated space which includes an outdoor patio. Order food from the on site deli. The serve beer, wine, draught cocktails, and other bar classics. The place can really get hopping on weekend nights.

Very unique place!Not my taste but came here with friends. Not bad, good place to explore

Pop Up Restaurant on Mondays. Good food!

Great place for drinks with friends or colleagues. You can also get really good wings here. Just have a blast on a cool saturday night.

Closes at 9pm said on this site but as soon as we opened the door a lady just started screaming No No No No! then I asked if they where closed and she said yes!!!

A hip spot with great food selections as well as beverage choices.

My favorite place in the hood.

Sometimes I DJ here on the 11-year monthly night Oddities from the numbered streets. The physical layout/developments have really expanded up since that night began! Although the speakeasy vibe is no more- I will always champion Marias that has stuck to the roots and allowed me to play My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult in such a swanky posh space on those nights.

Oh geez. This place was the first bar we went to in Chicago and it is the last one we went to while staying. Highly recommend this place. Beer on tap is impressive. 24 taps. Marz community brewing is hands down a favorite, brewed down the road on 35th. And being from the hop Capitol of the world, Marz brewery is legit. Try the cryocrag if they have it! You can also buy beer to go.

Great beer selection and dope food. The beef sandwich was incredible!! Highly recommend

Fantastic neighborhood bar. Go-to-spot for drinks and casual hang-out with friends. Great rotating beer list. Good cocktails.

Marias has a Great beer selection, and with Kimski attached to the bar you can get some awesome food to go with it.

Very good craft beer selection, better try some food while youre there

Dive bar on one side, bright, modern bar on the other. Great craft selection, patio, and within walking distance of Sox games.

Good service, decent prices. Theres also a restaurant attached but I did not eat. They bring the food to the bar for you though.

Chill vibe, cool bartenders, and a great rotating draft. One of my favorite spots for a drink.

I guess the service was ok, beer list is standard mediocre Chicago but its a great bar and great vibes all around

Oh good ol Marias!! How Ive watched you grow over the years! Great spot and probably... the only good bar in Bridgeport! Great drink selection nice addition of Korean and I believe polish food and outside area.

Feeling adventurous? Try a mystery shot for $2. Great prices, and they offer delicious food at the connected restaurant. You can also pick up a six-pack on the way home.

This place is a little treasure. my first time down in the south side and a must try! also, great IPA and excellent art to photograph with the new iPhone low light feature!

Nice place prices are ok,, a lot variety of beer and liquors...

Great selection of beer and some food. Love the natural light inside.

Have a wide selection of local and imported beer. They have a good seasonal selection. Be sure to check out the restaurant in the back.

Its a good place to have a couple drinks, nothing special or spectacular. The lobby/store at the entrance is great and fun, with a vintage ambiance, decorated with vintage dolls, bottles etc. It gives you a nice feeling as soon as you walk in. The bartenders (at least when we were there) a little arrogant, he just poured the drinks but not a single word came out oh his mouth, not even hi. They have a little area with tables and chairs were you can play board games.

Strong but bad drinks and over priced

This bar has become too good for themselves. They only care about the cool people. I stood at the bar for 10 minutes waiting for service and the three bar tenders passed over me repeatedly while servicing people that arrived well after me. This is the closest bar to my house, but today was my last time visiting as they don’t deserve me money.

Its a very cool little spot. Great food and drinks. Trendy crowd too.

Kool place. Overhead doors and patio seating fo the summer

Everyone is welcome, creative Korean/polish food, 40 + craft beers and cocktails. Maria is a delight and can often be found behind the counter of the package good section, where youll also find the only t.v. on the premises. Best repurposing of an old man bar ever.

The absolute best hole in the wall bar in Chicago. Ive been coming here for years and will always continue to come here. Always a great IPA beer selection, awesome cocktails, and the staff is helpful with their recommendations. Maria has become my Korean mother! Definitely a must visit if youre in the area!

Great happy hours drinks. Food was food. Great location.

Marias really came through with the Community Bar portion of their business name. I met up with fellow classmates for a 30-year reunion. They were excellent hosts and the staff... fantastic. I will return.

My girlfriend introduced me to this bar. It’s been our favorite so far. The neighborhood is great too. Lots of art and graffiti on the walls that everyone can appreciate. It’s the details that matter.

Great atmosphere; laid back, yet high quality service and outstanding food. Cannot wait to come back!!

Oh good ol Marias!! How Ive watched you grow over the years! Great spot and probably... the only good bar in Bridgeport! Great drink selection nice addition of Korean and I believe polish food and outside area.

What a weird and wonderful place! Its a delightful mish-mash of styles and vibes, first you enter through a liquor store and arrive into what seems like a classic Chicago wood-paneled dive. If you turn the corner you end up in something that feels more like mid 90s LA shopping mall food court (in a good way). Keep going and you hit a Polish/Korean junk-food kitchen. One of a kind and an experience unlike any other.

Great beer selection, but Im about the whiskey... They had a great selection of that as well...

This spot is very cool. If you find yourself in Bridegport check it out. The way everything is laid out is very neat. It has this late 770s early 80s feel with a big side room to dance in. The bar was a bar I didnt see any drinks that blew me away but I sure they can make you any classics you want. I had such a great time there I would definitely go back.

Really cool spot. Went for Brunchski & thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance & music!

Just discovered this place... and I love it! Good selection, will go to the bar next time.

Great bar. Drink selections are excellent and a great place to just hang out.

Lots of beer options and make awesome drinks try the Old Fashion. They also have Asian/Polish fusion food. Wings are pretty flame.

Always a great time. Chill vibe. Great bartender, eats, and music!

Staple to the neighborhood.My father use to be a patron to this place and now I totally admire and visit when Im in the area . this is a beautiful- family run location.Emily and angel are stellar workers heres .They have a well known whiskey collection . But I recommend the seasonal drink such as the Palmer or mule. Also if come with a group , they also have board games or card games to entertain.

Very lively place , lots of good people . Just an all around place to relax, enjoy yourself and enjoy a vast list of of premium Craft Beers.

Good for dinner and drinks, odd brunch menu

Confusing layout but great food. Portion sizes dont make sense. We had to show our IDs twice in each of the rooms and asked why and they didnt have an answer.

Always feels like home.

Great little dive has a lot of local flare.

A True South Side gem. The Selection of Craft Beer, Whiskey, a must before or after a Sox game, Id love to spend a lost weekend between Marias and GR.Field

Awesome craft beer selection (and the domestics, for those that want it), and a great atmosphere. You can stay in the old part and feel like youre in a dive bar or go to the newer part and feel like youre in something more chic. Theres also a restuarant that serves food in the bar and an outdoor area. Ive been here a handful of times and am consistently impressed.

Great food, great people, great beer list!

This place has awesome vibe! There were times when I came here every weekend, and each week it feels like a different place. What remains the same is their awesome bartenders and their knowledge in making great cocktails and their selections of beer & whiskeys. The back patio is a lovely place to hang out in the winter; when its slightly too cold, while the 100 proof bourbon washes down your throat and leaves you slightly too drunk in the best way. Some of my best memories were made here.

Great place for a beer and grabbing a bite, the Marias standard is super solid.

First time since they renovated. Food is very tasty and good selection of beers. Love the decor but please update the restrooms and make sure it has soap.

Marias is always a great time. The beer selection is excellent, cocktails on a class of their own, and the food is unique and delicious. It gets pretty busy so just be ready for that.

One of the best bars in Chicago, period. Beer selection and cocktails are both excellent. The food is great too. The vibe is just great and friendly.

Favorite bar in Chicago. Such a great atmosphere, perfect lighting, music is on point. Bartenders always know their stuff. Worth the drive out here for the night.

Man, I tell ya, this spot... this spot Marias is the hippest spot in all of Bport. Like, it used to be a dive bar, and it was cool, and now its a slightly fancier, hipstery, bar, but its STILL cool. They got more space now than they used to have, and MARZ brews a lot of their craft beer selection and damn, its all good.

Great drinks great atmosphere

Good selection, way overpriced!

Hipster central and pretentious whiskey selection. Im just not that sophisticated or trendy. This is not my scene. If youre an aspiring actor, working in a call center, and dress like a bike messenger, youll love this place. Everything tastes great, food and drinks. I would not consider it a good value.

Friendly. Relaxed. Reasonable prices. I love this place. Whenever I return to this part of town I will definitely stop in. A gem of a place. If you are lucky, Kundan will be bartending. She is super nice, helpful and knows her booze!

Great atmosphere, with awesome food available from Kimski next door!

Honestly was expecting something good but the foods not even better than any other quick Mexican food place. Chicken was very bland and wasn’t full even after paying $20

Probably the best bar in the city. Not one of, but THE best. Lots of different beers on tap and their cocktails are pretty great too. I always start with a Palmers Pint. Great vibe and with Kimskis connected you have everything you need. If you havent been here you need to go yesterday.

Best bar In Bridgeport. Patrick is our favorite bartender, he makes the best old fashioned.

Ive been here a few times and I really like the hidden away-ness of the place. Theres a store up front when you first walk in and then the bar is behind it. I guess thats not a really big deal but I like the feel of it.The vibe of the bar is nice, kind of a mix of old-man bar and hipster (maybe leaning more toward the latter). Beer list is pretty good and the place is dimly lit and comfortable.However, does it really need to be so loud inside? I mean, theres like 15 people inside and the music is blasting so loud I have to scream to the people across the table from me. Maybe Im the old man but it just seems unnecessary and kind of unfitting to the vibe.Last time I was there I got to enjoy the back-back bar, where there is outside seating. This time there was super super loud dance music back there that shook the entire place. I kind of dont understand that in the middle of the afternoon on a Sunday. Not exactly what I was looking to get into, but we stayed anyway because, hey, its a bar and we came to drink.When Im down there its basically the place that I go, but otherwise Im not really making the trek to Bridgeport from Uptown to go down there.

Went today. Had some of their wings and two drinks. Left with the worse stomach pain Ive ever had in my life. Got home and vomited all the food up. Will probably visit a doctor if it persists because I think I got food poisoning. Never again.

In the time that Ive been going to Marias it has transformed from a divey hole in the wall with a bottle shop to one of the most popular bars on the Southside. A place where you can get some of the best beer and cocktails in an area thats not necessarily known for its nightlife. The crew here is always easygoing, helpful, and knowledgeable about what they have to drink.For those looking for something unique, peruse Marias cellar, a cooler packed with some of the best out-of-production beers that you can find. They can be a bit pricey, but there are some very interesting selections regularly available.

Great casual bar with two sides and a patio. Modern decor. Diverse crowd.

I went to Marias back in the day, when it was still a legit neighborhood dive. It is amazing to see the transformation it has taken over the past few years. Completely renovated into a speakeasy-style pub with lots of flair. There is nothing to dislike about this place.Upon entering you are greeted with a respectable variety of local, national and craft brews. The front acts as liquor store. If you venture further past the hidden door into the bar you will find more amazing pints, all at fair prices. They typically have a variety of music and two(!) back porch areas.I wish I lived closer so I could make this my regular stop. VERY RECOMMENDED!

Super cool, low key bport bar...classic. Was a liquor store then added a bar and now have a whole secondary bar that has a basic (not bad basic) loft feel.I think I was hitting on Maria last time I was there...

Fantastic food, great vibe and stellar cocktails

Good place to catch some beers. Not keen on the food.

Great time, drinks, and food.

Favorite bar in Chicago. The best craft beer selection and the tastiest cocktails. Also, the food at the attached kimchi place is worth coming for it alone. Especially the kimchi fries mmmm

Came here after a Critical Mass bike ride with some friends to the south side, pretty safe area. Really great selection of booze. Their kimchi fries are a must. I recommend getting an egg added to whatever you get.

Fun spot in Bridgeport. Definitely would recommend for everything to check out.

Pretty solid place here. They have some good craft cocktails and decent seating. I went to the patio for lack of space and then moved outdoors cos the inside was so loud. Its a general bar. I found the bartenders a little short and not really friendly but they gave me what it needed so minus points for that. The bar doesnt have table service so you have to get your drink at the bar and eventually bus yourself. I had the corpse reviver- I liked it since it was fresh and not super bitter. Plus point- they let the people from pleasant house next door serve you so you can have a drink and food together.

Very cool place. A large selection of beer. They even have games to play at your table. But with that comes with a crowd. So dont be turned off by this.

Easily one of the best bars in Chicago. Tons of great beers and cocktails to pick from. With the addition of Kimski, now you grab a bite there too. Patio area is awesome. If youre in Bridgeport, this is a must stop destination.

Went for brunch ski great drinks, amazing food and good music. Wonderful time!

Awesome bar in Bridgeport!
