But to-go cups are not an option.
A new Taco Bell location in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago will serve customers beer, wine, and mixed drinks, according to reports.
The restaurant is part of Taco Bell’s rebranding effort, introducing upscale locations similar to the chain’s outposts in the U.K., Seoul and Tokyo, which feature more open kitchens and fancy serving baskets. The location will have an “urban” aesthetic, with exposed brick walls and murals. more

SNIP: For some reason, the article made me think of this scene from “Demolition Man”.
Damn it Loco. You and your damn Tequilla. See what you’ve done now. Lol.
No drive-thru Coronas?
Ohhhh shit. As if Taco Bell isn’t ghetto enough, now they’re gonna serve Tecate and forties!
Oh great, now we girls have to put up with burrito farts AND beer burps from our knuckledraggers! 😉
I have never been to Taco Bell, and now that they are serving alcohol, I will never.
Diogenes, And here I was feeling sorry for the guys for the same reason. I know how you women are. LOL
@ Brad- Yeah, I guess you guys have suffered through the same thing from us at times! lol
Brad, I think TB uses *Olestra. 😀
* Taco Bell products may cause diarrhea, fecal urgency, and more frequent and looser bowel movements.
Diogenes. Been meaning to tell you this. I enjoy your stuff.
Mary Jane. I hope this isn’t over the top. But Taco Bell and alcohol would be the best enema ever. I can’t even imagine. I don’t even want to imagine. Nothing like processed cheese and a shot of Jack.
“Now all restaurants are Taco Bell!”
@ Brad- Thanks Brad. The IOTWR gang are the best.
Chicago is the pilot program?
This will die a quick death.
Taco Bell’s marketing slogan used to be “run for the border”. Now it will be “run for the toilet”.
Today Taco Bell…Tomorrow White Castle! Poo poo me all you want (nyuk nyuk nyuk–see what I did there?)
Bill White. Ahh White Castle, yum, yum
I remember after the Bars closed ordering 20 white Castle burgers. They were delicious, back then.
Now they suck!
I tell you what, when I was young, single and recently out of college, a six pack of soft taco supremes and a six pack of my favorite American light beer was my lazy Friday night.
sigh.
Miller Light and Taco Bell – they do complement each other well.
(that is a more meaningful statement than you might realize)
Al Bundy with rolled up newspaper after eating 3 burritos – “Let’s rock.”
You can get a drink in a drive-through in Louisiana.
I was quite shocked when my last GF stopped at the liquor store in Mansfield, LA and ordered a Margarita with salted rim in a drive-through.
AND you can open carry with no permit required. Helluva state.
Their Liquor License should REQUIRE that they lock their late night customers in the restaurant and only release them at dawn, closer to sober.
No one appreciates this article more than I do…..
I remember ‘Demolition Man’ an how silly it seemed 25 years ago. It’s becoming all too real now.
In Chicago. We’ve seen the animals freak out when they get their orders wrong WITHOUT Alcohol involved, this is not going to turn out well.
What kind of wine would go well with a beefy Fritos burrito? Thunderbird?
