    Great downtown dive bar! I have a strong affinity for dive bars and this one did not disappoint. I'm only upset that it took me this many years to find this place. With a huge selection of beers, ciders and seltzers including a large selection of imports in a cooler with 4 different doors for access. The uniqueness of this bar is that you grab what you like, DO NOT OPEN IT and bring to the bar. The tender will open it and charge you. Don't grab that credit card because they only take cold, hard, cash! The Cubs game was playing on the tubes and it was busy with a fun crowd and standing room only. Walking in made me reminiscent of my college days with the smell and feel of many patrons drinking on a warm summer's day. Not off-putting, just a noticeable "feel."

    Epic dive bar!!! Bring cash and select your beverage from the fridge. So fun and chill. If you lucky you can get your songs played on the jukebox too!

    I've been back to Rossi's a few times in the past months while going to concerts in Chicago, and maybe as I've gotten older being ignored at the bar for 20 minutes has gotten old. I used to love coming here with friends when I lived in Chicago, and the atmosphere is still lively, dive-ly. I'm a fan of their craft and European beer cans selection in the coolers- take the can to the bar and do not open it- but the wait to be noticed will be long, it's not even worth it. Just get a High Life or Lite for faster service. Still would go back with a group of friends, Rossi's is at least a breath of fresh air in River North.

    Went to Chicago on a guy's trip and went to Rossi's based on a Google search. This is such a great bar and has an incredible vibe. We spent hours here and had a great time with our bartender, Cynthia.

    So this is not a liquor store, it is a small bar with many beer choices. Do kit open needs from the cooler, take them to the bar. Super tiny; super fun. I loved the 80yr old woman running the bar.

    Just a classic no-nonsense bar. Bring cash as they don't a accept plastic. With everything around it changing and developing, Rossi's is a throwback. I love the beer cooler in the back, a solid offering and selection of beers. Pick what you want and bring it to the bar for it to be opened. Just a classic spot

    Perfect dive vibes. We've been for evening cocktails and an early morning post-late night bloody. Incredible bartenders and the most chill space, it's small and cash only so be cool about it.

    Love the ornery old bird. If you close the place out, she might make you drink the Malort. Have one but avoid more if you can.

    Great atmosphere, affordable drinks, chill bartenders, low key and divey. Couldn't have asked for more on a warm day.

I realize it's not the simplest shot to make. The gray-haired bartender refused as it was too much work for one shot. Fair enough, I said I'd get two. He said making fewer than four was "a pain in the ass" and he wouldn't do it. Never mind then! Paid, tipped, and started to leave. Didn't want to interrupt the guys impersonation of a bartender for too long. I did mention it to the door staff as I was leaving and they had a problem too. Told me "yeah he's 100% right". Whatever! If the rude service isn't enough, maybe you'll like the copaganda around the bar. I recommend pretty much anywhere else.

While we were waiting for our drinks, he was arguing with two Hispanic men right next to us--for quite a while. When he finally served our drinks, he only brought one, forgetting my fiancé's order. We tried to be patient, but we had an appointment to get to. My fiancé politely said, "Excuse me, I didn't get my drink," and the bartender snapped back, "You didn't order a drink." When my fiancé clarified, the bartender doubled down and said, "No, you didn't, and if you have a problem, you can leave too." At that point, the two men walked out, and we should have, too. Needless to say, this place is a hard pass. Cringe vibes, rude staff, and no sense of customer service. If I could give 0 stars, I would. Surprised this place is still in business given the similar reviews I've seen. Old man needs therapy.

I ordered a drink and got a drink and then I moved on. Perfect. But turns out that it's only when that one guy works. Come with me on a five minute journey yelpers as we go through tonight's near drinking experience. My wife and I walked in. 3 other tables sat with drinks. Great. We sat at an empty bar. Love it. Two employees at the end of the bar ready to spring into action and pour me a Guinness. Nope. Brothers and sisters in Christ I say to thee nay. There were no drinks to be had tonight. We listened to someone do their own research about where he might sit outside with his bucket of bottles while he was led to a shelf of available options instead of told flat out. When he asked how much? He was given a general idea but no definitive response. Anyway, I'm already tired of this story and it got longer and worse and we never had anyone ask what we wanted so we walked a block down the road to Beaumont's which is the best. Go there instead. You can sit at the bar, eat some bread and oysters and drink while you write reviews for places that aren't worth your time. Cheers.
