Somehow, the quintessential dive bar has gained a favorable reputation with just about every Chicagoan you’ll meet. The $3 old school photo booth produces the best b+w tones you’ll see in the city . Read more

One of the best dive bars , if not “the best” in Chicago. Love the vaudeville looking stage that polka bands used to play on. PBR on tap , bring cash, lots of interesting people. Awesome neon sign!

Somehow, this Ukrainian Village dive has managed to remain an underground favorite. The local artists and musicians who frequent it hold on to terra firma with cheap drink in hand. -ASK Read more

Rainbo is in Wicker Park and during prohibition it was a speakeasy . One of the best bars in America.
