“ Could be one of the best bars in Chicago who's to say??? Great vibes, great people, and just a quintessential Chicago establishment Super cheap drinks aswell ”

“ What a gem this place is. In a city of thousands of options, this place stands out. The bartender was great, the ambiance is next level and the drinks were reasonably priced. Can't wait to get back ”

“ This is old Chicago and I love it. Nothing fancy, very clean and all the nostalgia. If you're looking for a beer and shot this is your place. If you don't like smoking move on and don't complain about it, plenty of places that don't you crunchy granola people. Cheers to Richard's ”

“ The best of the best. Definition of a dive. Most modern thing in there is the cd jukebox. Cash only, great old cash register. Bartender runs a tight ship. Way cheaper to get some of the beers to go but still good "in house" prices. Having said that, you have to stay for at least one drink to let the vibe seep into your pores a bit. Boy, if those walls could talk. ”

“ Dive Bar? Well, call me Jacques Cousteau!!! DIVE! DIVE! DIVE! It's as Chicago as crooked politicians, thinly sliced Italian beef sandwiches, and carjacking. Great place 2 be before or after La Scarola. ”

“ Very classic spot. No pictures allowed inside. Drinks are really cheap and it's a cash bar. Honestly a bit too smoky for my taste and my clothes held the smell so definitely be wary of that. They also sell beer 6 packs upfront that you can take out. And it's often cheaper than having it there! Small area inside. They have a jukebox as well. So overall very old school vibe. ”

“ This might be the dives to beat all dives. After spending most of the night at The Pearl Club, this was the yin to its yang. It is cash only, The real clientele will likely not be a fan of you if you're reading a Yelp review about a dive bar. Make friends, they were great people. I warmed them over, the bartender and one of the regulars ended up buying me several beers. If you love a good dive bar, this is definitely your spot. Remember, don't try to bum a smoke, this is one of their rules. ”

“ What a blast from the past. We went here for a drink on a Saturday night and we felt as if were transported to decades ago. When you walk in be prepared for a whiff of smoke. Yes , smoking is allowed indoors ! Drinks are super cheap compared to most bars. The bartender looks as if he has been there for years. The place is filled with lots of memorabilia and a juke box. Good place to stop for a cheap drink, reminisce of the past, but be prepared for the smoke. ”
