"In 2022, a bottle shop selling NA spirits like Bare and Everleaf debuted in Humboldt Park as a pop-up inside a plant shop called Succulent City. Bendición Dry Bar’s mission was to unite marginalized community members who were interested in reducing their booze consumption. They’ve hosted events, from queer tarot card reading to drawing classes. The hope is to build a bar inside the space for regular service." - Nylah Iqbal Muhammad, Eater Staff
