Rossi's: Reviews & Ratings
Spent better part of my week here meeting the many bartenders and patrons some regulars and some visiting the first time (like me, though they make you a regular quickly). They open at 9am and close past what I could stay, beer selection is respectable, and prices in the city are probably the best. If you go for the first time and it's busy, ask about the rules, they're simple, but don't break them; if the bar has seats they will tell you. Thanks for the good passtime this week everyone and Oby says hi too!
One of the best dives in Chicago. The bartenders are always awesome and the prices are some of the best in town. They also have an impressive craft beer selection.
The bar tender was super cool! I got the Chicago handshake and it was delicious! Everyone there was pretty friendly. For a drive, nobody treated you like an outsider. Would definitely go back!
Cash only bar in the heart of the city. One of my favorite bars to hit when I have a chance to make it to Chicago for business or pleasure. Had one of the best culture in the city imo, what a gem! Great beer selection, a full fridge to choose from if you don’t want to order from the bar.
Was looking for a dive bar and score only 0.2 miles from the hotel. Cash only but a really good selection of canned beers. Both locally and internationally. Cheers
Desiree is awesome! This is a super cool little dive bar that shouldn’t be skipped on your trip to Chicago! Cash only, so be prepared. Absolutely the best service we received at any bar the entire time we were in the city!
Great spot to grab a few drinks with awesome service. Small bar with huge selection of beers. Staff and patrons make you feel at home. If you’re from out of town, recommend the Chicago handshake to make your trip to Chicago official. Old Style beer and a shot of merlot.
This bar is such a cool place. It's the one part of that massive city that makes you feel like you never left home. Cash only, but they have an ATM. All their bartenders are cool and their bouncers are awesome too. Love you guys. I come EVERY time I'm in Chicago
