Inside is a full bar and a good beer list, a pool table and dart board, and there is also a surprisingly large outdoor space with plenty of seating, corn hole, and a grassy area. The bartenders are great and you can bring your own food. There is plenty of parking under the Route 95 overpass.

It has nice layers soaked lady fingers with creamy mascarpone instead of whipped cream. It's not too sweet or bitter. Perfection. Not a very spacious place. Definitely has the city vibe as you are serenading by the sound of Market - Frankford line passing by. I had an unpleasant experience when a guy behind me fell on my back. There is more space upstairs that opens at 7. It opens at four but when I went there they were open at three for Liverpool game. Salad has a very thick dressing. You can skip it. Smashed burger : my husband enjoyed it although he's disappointed with the half speared pickle.

I mean what can you say about a place that literally calls themselves "The Dive?" - Albeit true in…read morenature, and as unassuming as it is, The Dive truly is a local 'underground' spot where you can go and feel completely and truly yourself. The bartenders are friendly and kind - the beer is cheap - and nobody judge what you're wearing, who you are, if you're reading a book or the newspaper. Just show up as YOU. You're just there to grab a pint, after all. No need to impress. Enjoy!

Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome on all three floors with the bar being on the 1st level, a smoking area on the 2nd, and a pool table and games on the 3rd. Dive is the right name for this bar (and we love it) having been around for a while, dark lighting, wood paneling, and walls that have probably seen thousands of patrons walk through the doors and up the stairs. The bartenders are great, prices are good, and Happy Hour is Monday-Sunday from 5-7pm with $3 draughts. There are also a couple of TVs to watch the game in this sports city!

What a cool bar. The vibe is tiki-inspired with a big bar, swanky seating and creative cocktails…read more Right away I was impressed by the menu which looks like a treasure map, perfectly playing into the tiki theme. I've never seen this before and thought it was so creative. The bartender was really friendly and helpful. The prices were reasonable for what you're getting - about $15 for expertly crafted cocktails. I can't for the life of me remember the exact names of what we ordered but I was especially impressed with my second drink which was mezcal based and came with a hollowed out lime containing peppercorns which was then set on fire! The toasted peppercorn notes paired very well with the rest of the drink. I'm not usually one to enjoy mezcal but I actually really liked this drink. I was really surprised and impressed by that. Their happy hour is pretty solid too with $9 select drinks, $5 snacks (including the curly fries), and $9 sandwiches. We also ordered curly fries because why not and they were amazing. I'd definitely return in the future to try more food and more drinks.

I ordered the Passion Punch and Chimichurri Chicken Skewers. The pinch was pre-made; I would've liked an individual serving. But it was sweet and tangy. I would've liked a little more bourbon and less sweet but it was tasty! The skewers were good with the sauce. Dogs are welcomed and they provide water bowls. I would come back!

You definitely need extra light to take pictures. Food options are varied. There are Indonesian food such as fried tofu, nasi goreng, Mie goreng , Dan Dan noodles, tacos, kimchi dumplings. Fried tofu: there are six cubes of dense tofu with dipped in batter served with sweet soy sauce aka kecap. Unfortunately the batter fell apart. Mie goreng: huge portion. I asked for seafood. There are several small shrimps. It is missing a punch flavor that I expected from an Indonesian dish. Steamed kimchi dumplings are pretty good and spicy. Tacos and dan dan noodles are decent. The drinks: my husband likes the spicy margarita
