Rossi's is a classic dive bar in downtown Chicago known for stiff, reasonably-priced drinks and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that's stayed true to its blue-collar roots despite surrounding gentrification. The bar has an impressive beer selection with a unique self-serve cooler system, and the jukebox and lively crowd create a genuinely fun social scene. Note: it's cash only (or debit card), so plan accordingly.
