I think Wicker is a place for funky more than dive. It's been years since I frequented Chicago, but back in the day the true dives were out at the edges of the city - the ethnic neighborhoods in the far Northwest or Southwest and the African American catfish joints down in South Chicago. There were a couple I liked in my own 'hood, Rogers' Park, but last time I was there most of them had been upscaled and funkified.
