Rainbo Club

On the Grid : Rainbo Club

"Rainbo Club is a Chicago tradition. Simple as that. Somehow, the quintessential dive bar has gained a favorable reputation with just about every Chicagoan you’ll meet (don’t fact check us on Yelp...). Maybe it’s the pinball machine and arcade games? Or the $2 PBR drafts? Or the eclectic rotating art installations that grace its walls? For us, it’s gotta be the $3 old school photo booth that produces the best b+w tones you’ll see on any Photo Booth in the city." - Potluck Creative
