Dive Inn

Dive Inn has made its mark since taking over the BJ’s Carousel space in 2012. The decor – which includes an actual motorboat for seating – adds to the upbeat spirit of this Platt Park neighborhood joint. In recent years, the outdoor area has been expanded with more nautical touches and games – but the some dive-like prices and vibes we’ve loved for over a decade.
