Lush Wine & Spirits

Wicker Park, Bucktown & Ukrainian Village


Lush is a local mini-chain that is part wine shop and part wine bar, specializing in smaller vineyards and organic wines. Buy a bottle on one side, then take it over to the other and sit at butcher-block tables in a decibel-friendly, Euro-style ambience. It's all very economical, especially during the free tastings on Sunday from 2pm to 5pm.
