Good to know

What makes a bar a dive bar?

There is no strict rule, but dive bars are generally casual, worn-in and local, with a simple drink list. The label is often a compliment from regulars.

Are dive bars 21+?

Bars that serve alcohol generally require guests to be 21 or older, but policies vary by venue, so check the bar's age policy.
