A true gem! An absolute must for every dive bar aficionado out there. An Oasis in the land of $12 martini chain restaurants and douche bags

Rossi is an amazing best kept secret in Chicago!!! Only Rossi has premium liquor w/ the best cocktail prices in Chicago. The crowd is a mix of blue and black collar, emo, skateboard, and punk.

If you want a true local bar experience, this is the place. #CashOnly and they have #Oberon. Suggested to us by Steve, a bartender at Hilton Chicago; all of his suggestions/tips are solid. 👌🏼

Cash only, cooler with large variety of beer, and TouchTunes. Good times!

Cash only, grab beers from fridge and enjoy here or at home. But this place has good beer selection. Check the last fridge on the right. No food. Dogs are allowed.

Grab a cold one out of the cooler and tell the bartender to add it to your tab. They appreciate you saving them the walk.

If I were a local, this would be my place. Will stop by whenever I'm in town.

Pretty cheap drinks and reasonable selection. Also they kicked some people out for being douches and that was entertaining

If you haven’t had a shot of Jameson at 7am, you haven’t truly been to Rossi’s.

The diveyness of this bar provides stark contrast to the surrounding establishments. I saw a dude doing coke off the toilet seat.

Best dive bar in River North. Can get kinda crowded though.

If you're ever walking down the street & decide to have a random drink, this place rules. I don't feel like I'm in Chicago, the drinks are affordable.

The bartender on Sunday nights is a total a-hole:-) I think his name might be Dog but I wouldn't bother finding out his real name because the service is soooooooo bad you will wish u never went there
