More About Empire Liquors

Empire may have a royal sounding name, but its concept is no-nonsense. With a lounge-y vibe and dive bar friendliness, Empire is the perfect balance for a classy night out with your friends in hip Wicker Park. Enter the dim room with contemporary lines mixed with Gothic arches; settle in for the night at the comfy couches and funky tree stump tables.
