Great jukebox , people, and smoke. This place is a time warp in a great way. When bars were bars , not libraries . $.75 hard boiled eggs . Get in on that! :-)

Erik Rowley

A gritty old bar with character. Yes you can smoke, listen to classy tunes of a bygone era on the jukebox , order a templeton rye , & take a leak in the men’s room under a scantily clad Marilyn Monroe.

Redeye Chicago

Neon light's, the smell of cigarette smoke, and sounds of Frank Sinatra are the best way to describe Richards. If none of that bothers you then come by for a beer and good conversation. Read more

It’s St. Patty’s & some drunk girl wanders up to the bar from Emmit’s next door. She looks at one of the old Italian bartenders , “Can I get a Vegas bomb?” He replies, “I ain’t got time for that s#%*.”

So cool!!! There are many stories about this place. Ask the barman about the movies (the nice one, not the other ????)we can smoke here!!! ❤️

Steve Wreyford

Be careful of that Point 83 bike ride on Thursday's... might be the best time you've had in a long, long time! Get off your ass, dust off the bike , drink some beer and be a part of a great group!

Cheap beer and old school feels are a plus but prepare to stink like smoke.

Angela

You can smoke cigarettes here. Yes that's right folks. Also the cheapest beer in the area with .75 hard boiled eggs if that's your thing.

Kate Schaffer

One of the best dive bars in the city . Excellent juke box with CDs!

Richard's is underrated, and the best place to grab a drink before or after dinner in West Loop. Read more

Raquel Henry

It's an okay bar . I would rate it top notch but one of the guys (bouncer) was kind of a d-bag!

How is this my first dive bar and I live in Indiana....

Kara Raymond Halvorsen

They didn't get the memo about the smoking ban that was passed a number if years ago. People smoking in there all the time. Nasty

Deborah Balmes

If you like Frank Sinatra go here

Bear Dohring

4$ 24oz budweiser . 5$ absolute on rocks. Nuff' said.

Chase Wreyford

Meet Point 83 here EVERY Thursday for a bike ride

Todd Carpenter

Just because it's "closing time" doesn't mean you should leave.

This place is disgusting. It was filled with smoke when we walked in; even the bartender was smoking. So we walked right back out.
