    Hookah, music and good food? Yes please!! This place was a vibe on Thursday night. Service was prompt and efficient. We got our drinks and food order promptly and even got our water refilled a few times which is always a plus when you're drinking. I got the chimi sliders and the steak frites and both were delicious. My steak was cooked medium well as I asked and the slider tasted like a mini Dominican chimi. I would definitely return if I'm back in the area.

    We ended up at Dive bar by chance. It was a group of us for ladies night Thursday. We had drinks else where and decided to have some food and hookah. So we went bar hopping. The place we went first said it was too early for hookah(they start at 10pm) but suggested we come here. Great suggestion! We were greeted and served our drinks right away. I gotta give it to them on their drinks, they are not shy with alcohol. Love it. You get your $ worth! We got what we came for, the hookah. It cost $35 and also lasted a long time. Thats a plus for us. But the best part is they accept cards. They don't put hookah on your bill but before you had to have cash or pay a fee at the ATM if you didn't have enough. Now you can pay w card for it. The food was on point. I ordered steak and it was seasoned very well and the fries were so tasty the rest ordered chicken wings, sliders and shrimp tacos and I heard zero complaints. The DJ had a nice vibe going. Also, bonus point for the complimentary popcorn that kept coming to our table. Highly recommended and definately coming back

    I liked this place if you're looking for a sports bar/Lounge vibe. The hookah was super strong but they make you pay for a whole new hookah instead of just a refill. I noticed only light skinned girls were waitresses. They were super sweet and friendly but a little diversity goes a long way. Great service, just an observation. Happy Hour drinks weren't strong and were about $10-12. Music was on point!

    Food was really good! We had the garlic parm wings and the spring rolls with au jus to start. The wings were perfectly crispy and had the right amount of flavor. For dinner we had the Brussels salad with shrimp, burger, steak, and chicken. All of us enjoyed our meals. Good flavor, good portions, and the food didn't take forever to come out. Drinks were really good. I'll def be back when it's hotter out to try the frozens. Super cute venue, lots of photo worthy spots throughout. Service was friendly but they did leave us unattended for long periods of time. Which imo hurts the business more than anything because we were going to order more drinks. Dj played a mix of music, which was cool too. We ended up staying after dinner and hanging at the bar to dance.

    Cool, chilled vibes if you're looking for a happy hour spot, or a lowkey date night.. The earlier you get there the better, starts getting packed quickly by like 6-7pm. The girls who work there are all friendly and welcoming. Happy hour is definitely a vibe, the music is good, no skips. The food was pretty good, they give you a good portion. They have hookah for all the hookah people looking for a place!

    I came here around 9:00pm with two other ppl. We were told we couldn't sit at the bar cause the bar only had one seat. We were also told that reservations were needed but they had a table to accommodate us even though we didn't have reservations. It's an hour table limit if you only order drinks. It's an hour and half table limit if you order food and drinks. The service was horrible. Was here an hour and half. Only had one drink because the waitress never came back. The drink was good tho. 18% gratuity is already added to the bill. The music is very loud, you have to scream to talk.

    This place was put on my radar thanks to a Yelp elite event I attended a few years ago. Second time around was with a group of girls we got few bottles & just basically hung out it was fun. Next time came w some friends for food & drinks we were seated upstairs at first it was nicer since we had the area to ourselves that didn't last too long, they have a 90 minute limit seating which I understand people tend to just hang around & not give others a chance. Drinks to start The reef was very good, decent Jaws attack more for the pics lolll Man of honor & Under the cucumber good as well & so was the Baecation good drink. Appetizers we had the Garlic parm wings nice & crispy not bad & the Italian beef spring rolls they were good. Main dish I went with the Dive smash burger it was very good, nice taste to the meat had a salad instead of fries not bad but it was drowning in sauce too much for the small salad, the burger was good but also very messy. Steak frites was very good nice piece of meat, decent fries. The best Dam chicken sandwich & yummy Brussels salad w shrimp was good as well. After dinner we headed downstairs & hung around for more drinks, it got crowded so it was a bit challenging to get drinks no additional food but we had some popcorn which was good helps keep ya kinda sober loll. Good drinks, they do sneak up on u .. service if seated better than at bar area. Music is good & very loud for such a small place.. price wise on the high side but doable drinks can get pricey if u have too many. Overall fun place for drinks, hanging out & listing to music.

    Dive Bar is a place I found on IG and bookmarked under Happy Hour with my girls. My friend recently graduated with her Masters so we decided to celebrate at Dive Bar. Reservations were easily made via Open Table. According to their website HH is Monday - Friday 5-7. I arrived first (6pm) which prompted me to sit at the bar for a drink. When I asked the bartender about the HH specials he said they don't have HH. As I type this now there's still HH specials listed on their website. Maybe it's no longer offered but either way it should be adhered to or corrected. In the midst of me waiting for my friends I had a celebratory cake delivered to me. Once I received it I asked one of the managers if he could store it in the fridge until later (1. It was a surprise for my friend, 2. It was buttercream and needed to remain chilled). He stated he wasn't sure if he had space for it, went to check, came back & said it wouldn't be able to fit. So I placed the cake in the chair next to me hoping it didn't collapse & also hoping my friend wouldn't see it. My friends finally arrive and we move to our table. As we're moving a waiter walks by, sees the cake in the box and asks me if I would like him to put it in fridge. Of course I say yes and he takes the cake to the fridge. The same one with no space??? . Moving on we ordered wings (Buffalo & Garlic Parm), grilled oysters, steak frites, popcorn shrimp & mr krabby fries. Everything was soooo good! Although the grilled oysters are extremely over priced for the amount you receive. Our waitress was Amber who was a burst of energy, so sweet, consistently checking on us and giving drink recommendations. We also had shot of Casamigos Resposado to start with at $14 per shot (that's insane). Hookah is available for $35 via a separate check payable by cash or card. Dive Bar's food is solid & their drinks are strong. Their customer service with the exception of Amber & the waiter that realized I needed cake help leaves a bit to be desired.

    This place is so gorgeous and the food and Service is great

    An upscale dive bar with literally a diving theme. I've been to this spot like 3x and it's always a good time. $35 hookah which is surprisingly good considering they use insta light (cheap coal). Drinks are good, waitresses and bartenders are friendly. Menu is typical bar food, wings, quesadillas, & tacos are all good. My only complaint is they charge an automatic 18%, don't show you the receipt and then you end up adding tip.

    Good music, great vibe, the hookah is available, the drinks are so good, they are open until 4AM! Great place to celebrate a party

    Came to this location 2 days in a row my first night was a little off I stood in front of the place for over 10 min with no one coming to ask what we needed. A young girl came to me eventually took down my name and told me the wait would be 15 minutes. We ended up leaving unsure of if they had hookah but also we didn't really get an inviting vibe. The next day I took the chance to try them again & it was GREAT! I wasn't sure if they had hookah or not however they DO! (Mint, blue mist, watermelon mint and I think two other flavors) hookah is a separate bill from your drinks and food! Hookah girl is so sweet They do offer indoor seating upstairs (for got the minimum) and downstairs 90 min. The gentleman that greeted me at the door was so pleasant and courteous! You have to sign in with name number address and they take your temp then seat you. LOVE THIS! I asked the waitress for her drink recommendations and it was between the Sun Tan (Resposado Tequila + Aperol + Melon + Lemon + Spicy Rim) & Man of Honor (Mezcal Joven + Ginger Tea + Passion Fruit + Lime + Cucumber) I ordered both however the sun tan takes the lead it was amazing! Consistent as we ordered 4! The drink came out the same each time. Shrimp quesadilla - very cheesy, good fresh taste Grilled oysters - it was ok for what it's worth I usually don't order seafood everywhere but this was good nice presentation This is honestly a great place I can appreciate from customer service, drink consistency, food consistency ambience in a time like this I came here and appreciated my experience. *the wait was a little long however you can tell that everyone is really working together to deliver the best service

    Besides the excellent service, I must commend the management here for the music and vibe ! The food was on point, and everything prepared to perfection. Whether you're flying solo or want the company of some good friends, this is the place to stop by.

    See all
