On today’s episode of Killing Time I’m excited to get to talk to Chicago’s Ms. Dive Diva, whose goal it is to find the “diviest dive bar” in all of Chicago. She’s on TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram as @chicagodivediva and she has a blog as well that we’ll also talk about, so join me as we talk about everything from Mallort to the bar in the Chicago Art Museum in this episode. Also, as a fun aside, I happened to be visiting Chicago recently and got to meet up and hang out and have some Mallory and Old Styles at Rossi’s, a downtown dive bar, so if you follow me on TikTok you’ll see a video collaboration of the two of us!
If you’d like to learn more and find her blog or check out her cool merch, visit https://chicagodivediva.company.site/.
The bars that Ms. Dive Diva recommended on this episode were:
Simon's Tavern in Andersonville
The Loyalist (not a dive though!) - Say Dive Diva sent you and tell John that Dive Diva said hi!
*Also a quick correction: I mentioned that we met the owner of the Old Town Ale House, but I actually did not... apparently he's the owner's ex-husband. He's a really cool guy though that did an episode with Anthony Bourdain and also painted him... and he has some unique paintings.

Thanks so much for listening to this episode, and if you enjoyed it then please be sure to leave a review and share it with a friend. You may also be interested to learn that I have another podcast that’s all about Dayton, Ohio called “Discover Dayton,” so I hope you’ll check that out too!
Thanks for listening.
