Traditionally, slashies in Chicago have been where patrons can both buy alcohol and grab a drink at the bar before heading home with their purchase.
Partner and sommelier Derrick Westbrook grabs bottles of wine at Juice @ 1340 in Chicago on April 4, 2022. Juice is a slashie, with a liquor store, wine bar and bottle shop. Slashies have evolved during the pandemic, finding nimble ways to adapt and bring in customers.
But the pandemic has pushed the slashie to new heights of creativity as owners seek out ways to help their small businesses thrive.on a sunny afternoon, it might feel as if you’ve been here before. The wall on the right reads “You Got the Juice” in graffiti, not only a nod to the shop’s brand but also a quick self-esteem booster.
Lewis handles the beer buying; Williams takes care of buying spirits and curating the cocktail menu; and Westbrook focuses on the wine program. “We were doing yoga and wine, hosting political fundraisers, knitting circles and book clubs,” she recalled. “In order to create multiple streams of income, I went to the city and asked them to change my licensure so I could sell wine by the glass.”
For Erin Carlman Weber, owner of All Together Now in Ukrainian Village, what makes slashies so special is that they are utilitarian. At All Together Now, you can pick up an iced coffee in the morning on your way to work, but it’s also a place where you can pick up wine on your way home or drink with a friend over an artisan cheeseboard.
