This is what most people should experience. Not gouged for price. Great service. Young people - don't go trendy. Go for something good.
Great old school dive
$4 old style in a bottle. Looks like it hasn’t changed in 40 years. Amazing place

Sky Ride Tap, established in 1971, is a classic Chicago dive bar that has been here for decades. The long bar with a semicircle indent, wood panel walls, and Blackhawks paraphernalia create a cozy atmosphere. It is a no-frills, no-nonsense spot to unwind, with a pretty big room and a high ceiling. Loud and packed on Saturday night, it can feel a bit chaotic trying to get a drink, but it is a good spot for something quick. While there is no food menu, they offer chips, pretzels, and a variety of beers for purchase, along with loaded nachos. The bartender is friendly and pours drinks with a heavy hand. Drinks are cheaper than in most places, and it is cash only. Located near the Metropolitan Correctional Center, Sky Ride Tap is a neighborhood watering hole and a real Chicago bar experience.
