Walgreens

Pharmacy closes before 9pm during the week. Don’t trust the stated hours. Very disappointed to rush to get there right before they close to find out they were already closed.

Ugh the best. They have sushi here can you imagine?! Don’t eat it but they have it. And they have the chia drinks. Plan for an extra 1 minute I the checkout but unlike Minnesota they do have alcohol. Get that SPF.

It’s a beautiful Walgreens, but customers are not allowed to use the restroom after 9:00pm. I think that is ridiculous and inconsiderate to not let patrons use the store during operating hours.

What’s the point of having an appointment for the healthcare clinic if they take people out of order and without an appointment? Never coming back to this poorly services healthcare clinic again!

I was just stunned when I walked into this Walgreens. It’s gorgeous and had everything including sushi. I feel like going to other Walgreens stores will leave me forever disappointed for the rest of my life. They even had super clean bathrooms.

I’m guessing this was an old bank or something because the building is gorgeous. Additionally, it was well stocked and clean.
Like most Walgreens now, it has a lot of quick food items on the main floor. They had a great selection of fresh foods, plus a wide variety of packaged food. Their beer selection was very big!
The checkout line was super fast and the cashier I had was incredibly friendly. I would love it if this were my neighborhood Walgreens (or Duane Reade, since I live in NYC).
Gorgeous, clean, well-​stocked with friendly staff… what more do you need?

A Walgreens in an old bank! I visited this one just to see what it looked like because a Walgreens in an old bank is just too cool not to check out. Walking in, the high ceilings replete with huge windows illuminating the store made it feel a bit like a bank in Gotham City even though it’s a drugstore.
This Walgreens is similar to the giant flagship one downtown where Loehmann’s used to be. It has the upmarket sushi, frozen yogurt, and high end spirit selection as the downtown one does on the first floor. I guess, it’s the new norm for Walgreens taking over large spaces and reinventing them compared to your run of the mill freestanding ones. On the upper floor, there’s a beauty section with both high end and drugstore brands. On the lower floor, there’s the pharmacy, meds, and travel items. I picked up some neat travel lotions and body washes unique to the store. They smell amazing and are packaged neatly. This store in particular has the bank vault reimagined as a «vitamin vault.» Those it’s just a wall of vitamins, it’s pretty neat to see it in a former bank vault on the lower floor devoted to pharmacy needs.
Generally, this is a decent Walgreens with the upmarket add ons of sushi, fro-​yo,
the pretty package of a former bank.

LOL why the hell am I reviewing a Walgreens?
I’ll tell you why. Two words: VITAMIN. VAULT.
I’m no banker, nor have I attempted to rob a bank. So for better or worst, this ended up being the first time I ever got to walk into an actual vault– minus the monies.
This is without a doubt the nicest pharmacy I’ve ever dropped into. If you’re not here to simply dazzle at the beautiful interior of this former bank, you can get all of your daily essentials right here. They also have a fair amount of Chitown swag for anyone planning on buying an affordable shot glass to take back home.
Drop by for a quick visit after eating around Wicker Park. It’ll be worth i!

Haven of everything Walgreen’s. Treasures of makeup upstairs. Brands you won’t find in any other Walgreen’s. Lower and lowest level are a gem as well. Well stocked and organized friendly helpful staff not to mention the interior décor is amazing. Let’s hope all banks become a Walgreen’s someday.

***This is one of the nicest pharmacies I have ever been to; like the Wicker Park neighborhood it is located in, this Walgreens has a unique, clever look; it resides in an old bank (the vitamins are stored in the vault and given the actual vault door that leads to the vitamins that sit next to actual safety deposit boxes, this section is aptly named the Vitamin Vault); there are three floors here so you will find an excellent variety of items in each section including a mix of upscale and local product (such as Jays potato chips); there is also a Chase ATM and a Redbox machine at the front of the pharmacy; this Walgreens is conveniently located near the CTA Damen Station on the Blue Line***
I do not know what the parking situation is; you might be able to find open spaces in the nearby residential area.

Whoever thought to put a Walgreens in an old bank is a revolutionary genius. It is beautiful, and the vitamin vault is very cool. It has vintage medicines sitting on the safety deposit boxes. The beautiful art on the ceiling was my favorite. No question the best looking Walgreens you’re ever likely to find. They offer your normal Walgreens fare, in addition to frozen yogurt and a decent alcohol selection.
It’s hard to muster up many words for a Walgreens, but if you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth a few minutes of your time just to marvel at its wonder and beauty.

Originally built for Noël State Bank in the early ‘20s, this historic landmark is one to definitely see. I remember this flatiron building when it was occupied by Fairfield Savings and Loan in the 90’s. Walking in back then I noticed the slow deterioration yet hints of vintage charm. So, when I heard Walgreens would be the next tenant in 2012, I was very disappointed.
I was hopeful a giant nightclub could have pushed the six corners into a premier nightlife option for the City. Or a lavish mixed use. Or an ambitious restaurant. Or even a museum of sorts. But a retail giant… intruding in an organically growing blend of arts and leisure in this neighborhood… especially when there is one literally 3 blocks away in either direction on Milwaukee Avenue. C’mon!
I am still skeptical if it is the best reuse option but I do appreciate the restoration efforts made by the drug store. As you enter you immediately notice the huge beautiful skylight. The bright painted walls, original tiles, the bank vault turned into a vitamin vault. As you notice the fancy signage to the escalators to the updated shelving units… a tremendous effort was made to create a highly chic image of its brand while retaining the building’s history.
If you’re in Wicker Park, this place is worth a visit.

I’m reviewing a Walgreens? What? Yeah. I discovered this gem soon after moving to Wicker Park when in search of champagne for my housewarming party. I looked up the closest Walgreens to my place and this was it. This Walgreens is pretty impressive and unique. It was converted from an old bank, so you can find the old bank vault in the basement with preserved old prescriptions. It’s historical and cool and you should definitely go check it out the next time your in the area.
This Walgreens is very well-​kept and clean, they keep the heat on pretty high in the winter, and there’s a doorman who greets everyone. (He’s probably actually security to make sure no one steals anything, but I’m going to go with doorman for effect.) There’s a bunch of fresh food, froyo, and sushi for sale here, complete with tables. Great for if you’re in a pinch. There’s a whole section upstairs with beauty supply stuff, which my gf was excited about.
The prices aren’t too high for the city. I got a few bottles of champagne for a pretty price ($ 8 apiece). I’ll def be back here if I’m being lazy about getting groceries and I need food to tide me over.

As far as Walgreen’s go, this one is very well-​oiled and a pleasure to visit.
The have a whole entire floor dedicated to cosmetics, one whole floor dedicated to the pharmaceuticals, and one whole floor in the middle for anything else you could want included fresh deli food, fountain sodas, a huge selection of liquor and even Froyo!
The floor space in this store is tremendous so it never feels over crowded or cramped. The lines here move very fast because they always have a full crew of staff working.
The pharmacy /​clinic downstairs is always neat and orderly, and how can you not love the old vitamin vault?!
Every manager, or shift leader I have ran into there seems to take their job very serious and it shows.
I’ll go back here over and over and over again.

Fanciest Walgreen’s ever. I’m fond of here because of my first visit in December 2012. After walking 45 minutes to Subterranean only to find out a concert sold out, this Walgreen’s was my saving grace. I was able to feel my nose again and buy some of those shake n’ bake heating bags.
This Walgreen’s sells Malort. And sushi. And soft serve. There’s a vitamin vault. There’s a minuscule parking lot. It’s 24 hours. This Walgreen’s is pretty special.

It’s not everyday that you can give your local Walgreens a 5 star review. But then again, this is no normal Walgreens. Situated in a gorgeously restored, historic bank, this 24 hour shop is candy for the eyes.
Be sure to look up when you walk through the doors and admire the soaring, ornately decorated gold ceilings. And of course, head downstairs to the totally unreal vitamin vault, which displays a bunch of vintage medication bottles atop old safe deposit boxes. With a fully stocked wine, beer, and liquor section, there are often tastings going on during the weekends (which can make waiting for a prescription that much more fun!). Oh, and don’t forget the sushi bar, fro yo station, and eyebrow bar (yep, you heard right!) — all on hand here.
If you’re in Wicker Park and need some allergy meds or tampons, bypass the CVS and take a detour to this gem.

As an out-​of-​towner i was blown away by this Walgreens. Juice bar? Fresh sushi bar? Frozen yogurt bar? Vitamin valut? I felt like I was in the Willy Wonka of Walgreens.
Really cool spot with everything you could possibly imagine from a Walgreens and then some. Apparently this spot was originally a bank and when Walgreens took over they worked with the city to restore the building to its original glory.
The ceilings are ornate and beautiful. The store is composed of three floors connected by escalators, elevators, and stairs. Work a peek inside or a fun-​filled shopping trip if you need something!
If you need a quick bathroom break they have a public restroom on the street level near the frozen yogurt bar. Beware I don’t think they clean this regularly.

I’m at awe. Hands down this is the most magnificent Walgreens I’ve ever seen. The outside doesn’t look like your typical Walgreens. And the interior architecture is glorious. It almost feels like you’re in some historic site.
Anyways, it’s three stories with a concierge. What?! Lol. He greets you as you come and go. There’s a café and froyo. Also not typical at all. I didn’t really get to walk around to the upper and lower levels because we were crunched for time. Pit stop for water. This place is like a mini Whole Foods! I feel like this should be a tourist attraction! Haha

One of my favorite Walgreens! It is in a historical building (formerly a bank), and definitely check out the vitamin vault downstairs!
This is such a convenient location (right off the Damen Blue Line stop), and you can pretty much find anything here (3 floors). There’s a limited selection of fresh produce, but understandably so. I come here for heavier items, and since I live so close, it’s much easier to carry these things home then buying this from Jewel/​Wholefoods.
The only thing I haven’t been able to find here is those happy birthday helium balloons (they have the smaller birthday balloons…)
