Trusted Neighborhood Haunts That Deliver on Divey-ness<\/h2>\n

A dive bar can mean different things to different people: a bar that isn’t trendy, a bar where you can smoke, a bar where the bartender knows your, your best friend’s and your parents’ life stories, a bar you can stumble to at 3 am when the rest shout ‘last call,’ or simply a bar near you with dirt-cheap drinks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re looking for one or all of these qualities on your next night out, our list capture’s the absolute best dive bars in Chicago, down to the very last Old Style can.<\/p>\n
