The map of Chicago is flush with quality dive bars, throw a dart and… you’ll likely piss off a haggard old man who had dibs on those darts, but is also willing to be best friends and tell you all about the storm of ’67. At Rose’s Lounge, the bar’s Macedonian matriarch has kept the storied dive well lubricated for more than 35 years with frosty mugs of Old Style and a stock bottle of Malort — even back when it was just a dusty old liquor for regulars. Further adding to the grandmotherly basement mystique: year-round Christmas lights, plush couches, an unrecognizably young portrait of Al Pacino, wood carvings that are indeed plastic, and a gumball machine salvaged (alright, hoarded) from Blockbuster Video. — Sean Cooley, senior editor
