Pair 'a Dice!! Â Given it's proximity to the Horseshoe Casino just down the road, this kind of "ironic" naming is just what a place like this needs. Â
It's a fun little bar if you're in a VERY random mood, or feeling like straying from the gambling mecca of Horseshoe for some more local flavor. Â
The bar itself is small, but the atmosphere is really gritty. Â It's situated amongst the smoke stacks of this part of NWI, some railroad tracks adorn the adjascent intersection, and the clientelle are good, hard working locals. Â A warning: if you're from Chicago like me, you WILL stick out. Â Not that this is a bad thing, but just realize that once you stray from the *relative* Chicagoan-friendly Horseshoe, you're in native territory. Â Respect your surroundings.
Beer is cheap here, the music is kind of top-40 meets the occasional GnR tune. Â Also, you can smoke in there, so it gets REALLY smoky. Â
In my opinion, finding gems like this makes exploration pay off. Â Destination bar? Â Not really. Â Fun discovery? Â Absolutely.
