WHAT IS A DIVE BAR?

I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED!
For those of you who may not be familiar with the American term “dive bar,” it refers to a well-worn, unpretentious local place that can be anything from a comfy, no-frills neighborhood pub to the kind of squalid gin joint that requires burning your clothes when you get home afterwards. Those of our friends and relatives who gravitate toward the finer things in life tend to abhor places that are dark and dingy with peanut shells on the floor, pool players with full body tattoos, and juke boxes featuring country western hits from 1987. We, on the other hand, find them amusing and seek them out around the world.
