Nestled 9 miles north of the Loop on the city’s far north side, Rogers Park and Edgewater are quietly taking the title as two of Chicago’s most diverse, affordable, and eccentric neighborhoods. Some attribute the charm of both neighborhoods to their distance from the hustle and bustle of the city center, while others say it's their proximity to the calm of the lake and their wide, almost suburban, streets; dotted with charming single-family homes. My opinion? A little bit of both. Whether you’re checking out one of its many parks or beaches, eating on Devon Ave, or just taking a stroll through the beautiful campus of Loyola University Chicago, you’ll be sure to find a sense of calm you didn’t know existed in Chicago.
This may just be the perfect bar. Just the right mix of dive and neighborhood watering hole, Cunneen's bar is that spot you can always count on for an affordable cold beer, a game of pool, and a calm atmosphere with some good tunes. It's the perfect place to meet up with friends, old or new, to chat for hours or just a few minutes. Just be sure to keep that card in your pocket because this joint is strictly cash only.
