Chicago Legacy Businesses: Inside Chicago’s Essential Dive Bars

“A peek inside some of Chicago’s classic dive bars across the city, including Sovereign Liquors in Edgewater, a part-bar/part-liquor store that has been open for nearly ninety years; Simon’s with its iconic neon sign in Andersonville; and Chipp Inn in Noble Square, one of the city’s oldest bars.

“Good dive bars are neighborhood institutions. They can be reliable places to find familiar faces or just great spots to hide out and take it easy.
