Cal’s Liquors
Cal’s Liquors
Mon–Thu 7am–7pm (or later); Fri 7am–2am; Sat 8pm–3am (closed Sun)
Average beer: $3If he's around, Cal slings insults while his nephew Mike slings Old Style at this Loop dive bar, where a handful of stools are warmed by bike messengers, construction workers and the occasional gritty punk coming to check out bands that bang out music from a tiny corner of the room. But don’t be shocked if you're looking for a drink on some random Saturday night and find nobody’s home.
