Chicago Bars
Dive In

Barstool views from Chicago's most cut-rate, eccentric and lovable taverns.

Jonathan Stockton
Jonathan Stockton is a metromix special contributor and author of "Chicago's Best Dive Bars: Drinking and Diving in the Windy City." A former ice cream man, he enjoys wisecracks, outlandish schemes and a good Polish with mustard and grilled onions.

Dive In
The dive bar blog celebrates Chicago's lesser known taverns. Bar requirements include cheap beer and gobs of character, with special recognition for inventive applications of duct tape. Readers are encouraged to respond to Jonathan Stockton's flawed (and alcohol-influenced) views and challenged to leave their cozy neighborhoods to discover the city's greatest dives.

I second the dammit - I was a big fan of JS's writing style (and subject matter).

I agree.

What happened and when will it be back?

Until then, check out chicagobarproject.com

For those of you inquiring readers, the blog has stopped because Jonathan decided to take a break from writing. We would have loved to keep it going.
