We have a spot by us thatās been here for something like 75 years. They have a dish on the menu called āmeatball saladā that is better than it sounds. The walls are wood paneled. We come here every few weeks to dish with our favorite bartenderāshe lives on our blockāabout all the hot new neighborhood gossip. Theyāre filming āThe Bearā on our block and thereās absolutely no parking. Weāre all inconvenienced, letās dish! She makes a great club soda with lime and my husband always asks what the specials are from the kitchen. Itās cash only. Chicago, we love you because youāre made up of dives like this, dotting corners in every neighborhood of this town.
