    I'm always trying to replicate their Greek tater tots at home because I don't live in Chicago and I've had dreams about them since I had them the first time

    Beer + shot (of not terrible whiskey) + wings is $9. Can't go wrong with that. The draft list is usually pretty pedestrian, but the old style is cheap.

    We happened upon this place on their trivia night. Looks like fun. We plan on going back for their High Dive Special. Beautiful bar.

    Better than your average. Friendly staff. 90's grunge on the speekies. Way relevant beer selection, nice patrons. I'd do it again. Anthony is the best bar keep in the greater chicago land area.

    I feel guilty for not having shared this tip years ago about High Dive, however they have some of the best wings in the city - since they take the extra step in grilling them during preparation.

    Get the fried chicken sandwich! The pool table is also great and lowkey.

    The casual rock music bar you wish your neighborhood had. Good beer. Good food. Good people. Good times.

    I like this bar because you don't have to listen to Whitney Houston like you do in every other bar. They play good music & have good food & beer.

    They card everyone. Small inconvenience for a solid burger & a $3 PBR tallboy after a sweaty bus-ride. Get extra pickles!

    The jukebox is basically a who's who of indie rock icons, the grub's much better than most area bar food, and the nightly specials are generous. Read more

    Order a drink called "The Dave". It's Absolut Mango, OJ, and a splash of soda in a pint glass. Super refreshing.

    Wednesday's $1 sliders. Good little burgers and the pickels that come with are awesome. They are actually big sliders, about size of McD's cheesebugers.
