Yelp.com Review - by carey C.

5.0 of 5 stars. This place opens at something like 7am... great for those Traders that need to take the edge off before making a bunch of hand puppets at each other all day! Not only that, their juke box is one of the…

Yelp.com Review - by Rachel F.

4.0 of 5 stars. Good dive bar. Found myself here on a Thursday night. What can I say? It's dark, has a juke box and a bartender that seems nice enough but she can probably throw you out with one mean look. Good mix…

4.0 of 5 stars. I like dive bars. Chicago is filled with them, but Rossi's has a special backwoods trucker, edge-of-town feel that you don't typically find in River North.

3.0 of 5 stars. Rossi's is a decent dive in the middle of downtown. The place is pretty dingy, but if you go to dives regularly you can deal. The downsides is that its usually very crowded (most after work bars…
