Chicago’s Best Dive Bars | Eater Chicago

"The Old Town Ale House is a slice of Chicago history. They don’t make dives like this anymore. A staple in Old Town since the 1950s since the neighborhood was a bohemian hangout, the bar features portraits of a few famous folks, including some regulars, all painted by owner Bruce Elliot, and a lending library for bookworms." - Ashok Selvam
