Dive bar with pool table, cheap beer, and vinyl records
"This may just be the perfect bar. Just the right mix of dive and neighborhood watering hole, Cunneen's bar is that spot you can always count on for an affordable cold beer, a game of pool, and a calm atmosphere with some good tunes. It's the perfect place to meet up with friends, old or new, to chat for hours or just a few minutes. Just be sure to keep that card in your pocket because this joint is strictly cash only." - Sidekick Video
"This Rogers Park Irish pub is near Loyola’s campus — and was founded by a Loyola grad student — and provides an ideal backdrop to cheer on the Ramblers. Find cheap beer and plenty of students crowding this space." - Ashok Selvam
"The cozy cash-only spot on the border of Rogers Park and Edgewater has a wide selection of beers in cans, a decent pool table, and TVs kept at a manageable volume so customers can actually engage in conversation while they keep an eye on the game. It also houses one of the best collections of Chicago history ephemera outside a museum, most notably a clock promoting the election of Richard J. Daley as the city’s mayor. If you go, lift a glass to owner Steve Cunneen, whose 2022 death left a void in the neighborhood." - Ashok Selvam

"A Rogers Park neighborhood bar whose longtime owner and namesake died on February 2 will continue operating under the management of his wife, who first met him when she worked as a bartender in the 1970s; she described the bar as a neighborhood staple and said she hopes to keep it running for generations." - Naomi Waxman
