Rainbo Club
Rainbo Club stands out as a quintessential dive bar in Chicago, blending raw, unpolished charm with a laid-back energy. The space features a wraparound bar, standing-room seating, and a nostalgic arcade corner, creating an atmosphere that’s both casual and engaging. While the decor leans toward eclectic and slightly worn, it adds to the bar’s authentic, Chicago-cool appeal.
Known for its affordable drinks and a relaxed vibe, Rainbo Club caters to those seeking a no-frills experience—whether it’s enjoying a cold beer, playing pinball, or even using the retro photo booth. Service is efficient, though the bartenders maintain a reserved demeanor. A cash-only policy and limited tap options suggest a focus on simplicity, making it ideal for a quick stop or a longer, low-key visit.

People LOVE this place. It is a dive bar in the most divey way. It smells like cigarettes, dried beer, and some of the floor is sticky. But that’s why you come here. They have a photo booth that they allow children to come into the bar to use. Very much a vibe. I got a beer and a shot, as one should at a dive. It was served cold, and quickly. They also have a patio! Definitely need to come here if you’re a divey person.
Solid dive bar with great atmosphere and eclectic art. Fun place to go with some quiet music and a photo booth. Make sure to bring cash!
Great place to get some admin work done for work on your laptop and stuff they have wall outlets you can plug your charger into Also shout out to the bartender for the screenplay idea and thanks to everyone that was there to help work on the first few pages of a thing I’m writing large credit to them for most of the ideas on paper so to say. Nice lighting for reading things next to the laptop in case you have to take notes for schoolwork or something. They don’t really offer any food but there’s like pizza up the street so whatever and the bartender seems to know his drinks and mixology from the way he handled the in and out busy but quiet service in a fast paced unmannered world of having to do work and your power going out so you have to find a place that can take a laptop charger and a laptop to get work done for work and also help you with side projects about things you’re working or writing about on a friday evening Also if you leave your card they will hold it for you and let you pick it up later or ID so idk what that says about their security but that’s all I have to really say about this place from my first visit
Mike was the bartender and he took such good care of us!! Made us tourists feel very welcome. It was by far our favorite bar we’ve gone to!!
Large open space with a wraparound bar, some table seating and a lot of standing room. Decor is haphazard and uninspired, but manages to maintain a Chicago-coolness. Tap is limited to five beers, but there is a good selection of bottles. Helps to know what you are looking for. Bartenders weren't particularly friendly but were super fast and did a great job of making sure no one was left waiting. All prices are reasonable and there are a handful of excellent pinball and arcade games. Would to come back on a lazy afternoon, drink pints and play games for a few hours.
It’s a dive bar with a vibe. $2 Hams before tax, cash only.
Cheap drinks, chill atmosphere, analog photobooth for $5. What's not to like.
