Friendly Bar that serves great food.

Roscoe's is one of the friendliest bars in Chicago. The people are cool and you can always meet someone interesting. They have a great casual restaurant that serves great food from really hot boys. Dining outside is especially great when the wheather is nice. You get to see some hot eye candy walking by.
