It's a reasonably-priced busy dive bar in the heart of Chicago. I asked the bartender if she had a beer + shot deal and she said "no, but you can order a beer and shot." And so we did! Noise level is fairly high, thanks to a lively crowd plus a jukebox. They don't normally serve food but I think are fine with customers bringing in your own food, and you can also place an order from a nearby restaurant (I don't recall which one). And yes, it's cash only so bring some money if you don't want to pay ATM fees! 4 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact. I like bars that allow customers to bring (or order) their own food - it allows for all diets! The one thing I'd like to see is more beer on tap - even just one good rotating local beer (e.g., Goose Island). Draft beer has smaller environmental footprints compared to bottled or canned.

Recently stopped by Rossi's Liquors and this place is the definition of a dive bar, in the most…read moreauthentic way possible. After a quick ID check at the door, the bouncer let us know it's cash only (thankfully we came prepared). From the moment we walked in, dim lighting, loud music, and shoulder-to-shoulder crowds gave the vibe of a full-on frat party, but not in a bad way. It's chaotic, energetic, and unapologetically no-frills. There's even a self-serve cooler with drink prices clearly listed underneath. I grabbed a Sapporo Premium, brought it to the counter, and our friendly bartender broke our change and offered a chilled glass to pour it into. Simple and efficient. That said, it was loud, so loud that even whispering-distance conversations were a struggle. The space is small, seating is limited, and since we couldn't snag a spot, we ended up leaving shortly after finishing our drinks. This feels like a better weekday hang than a packed weekend night. Still, if you're looking for a classic, gritty, no-frills dive experience, Rossi's delivers exactly that.

Came into play pinball and ended up having a pretty good time here. The bartender was really nice…read morewe talked to him quite a bit but in typical SW Michigan fashion, he didn't know how to pour a cocktail. At least he knew how to pour a shot (some don't) but a whiskey and ginger ale was ordered, a whiskey coke was served. He even clarified it was ginger ale, not ginger beer, and then still poured coke. At this point I have to laugh, why does every bartender in this area do this??

No big orders but food took awhile. The bucket had no paper towels, no salt or ketchup. They brought a new one with an empty ketchup bottle. Our waitress was asked for silverware and never brought any even though she came to table next to us for orders. We Just got the silverware and a new ketchup bottle ourselves. We stopped asking for anything so we were not disappointed. The ambiance was ok but menu is very small. Once we were near done our waitress did return but it felt like she wanted us to hurry up. We still tipped but she did not earn it. Not worth it!!! Very disappointed!!! If you do go don't expect much and you won't be disappointed.
