"Neighborhood bar High Dive has reopened after a two-year pandemic closure, Block Club Chicago reports. During that time, owners George Simos and Alex Tsolakides turned the half of the space into Dante’s Tavern, a spin-off of their mini-chain Dante’s Pizza, which closed two locations during the pandemic. They did not respond to inquiries from Block Club about whether they would continue High Dive’s tradition of karaoke and open-mic nights. High Dive, 1938 W. Chicago Avenue, Open 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily." - Naomi Waxman
