The Scene – A curved aquarium with multi-colored dwellers-of-the-deep greets incoming patrons at this pub that is decidedly less divey than its name suggests. There's no dusty film on the wooden tables and no grimy bartenders serving up your pint. Mirrors line the painted red walls of this narrow tavern, making the place appear larger than the space it actually occupies. And the bar is less than roomy--if you can't get a table, you'll have to go elsewhere, as standing around is not an option. – – The Draw – The crowd comes to knock back a few, betting on billiards at…

Great little dive with a huge character appeal
by aqua2150
I recently was a Dive Bar to kill time before meeting some friends and to check out some Sunday football. This is really my kind of place...something off the beat'n path. It's a tiny joint with a large bar, a pool table like think with stools and a few booths around the edge. The menu was definity bar food, but man did it all sound amazing....seafood, pulled pork, BBQ chicken, salads and amazing breakfast items. I nibbled on some chicken fingers and I must say they were the best I have ever had. Washed them down with a few bud lights and saw the Jet's get spanked, I couldn't ask for a better afternoon. Defs worth making the trip up town for a nice escape from the bars you see in midtown and below.
- Pros: Friendly staff, amazing menu
- Cons: Way up in the 90's

Pretty awful
by STJN
Fish and chips consisted of batter with some grey gunk inside, with two baked potatoes and some past-the-point-of sour tartar sauce; appetizers arrived after the main course and while a touch more palatable were swimming in grease. Beer was watered down and off.
Service was polite but incompetent.
If you're going to eat here, stick to the chips and salsa; if you?re going to have a drink stick to something in a bottle as they don't know how to keep their draft beer.
A packet of Tums might be a good option for dessert.
- Pros: Not too much
- Cons: Heartburn, bad beer, worse food

The Details on Dive Bar
Know Before You Go:
The pool table is only available at certain times--and mostly just during the day--"No chance on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday," says the bartender. There's a dart board open all the time for those who must play.
The Extras:
Try the Mary Ryan sandwich. This grilled tuna club with avocado sprouts and wasabi mayo is hot, healthy and heavenly.
Save Money:
Enjoy a large bowl of complementary mussels in a wine or beer-based sauce every Friday when you buy a drink after 6pm until the food runs out.
