"This Ukrainian Village spot might be the most well-kept dive bar in the city, where you can get Chicago Handshakes but won’t be subjected to decades-old cigarette smells. But the back space also doubles as a dance floor with occasional DJ sets, so keep an eye on their event calendar. EZ Inn’s large wooden interior is like a winter cabin, with plenty of leather bar stools and couches that are perfect for hanging out when you need to rest your legs." - sam faye, veda kilaru, nick allen
