I have loved this place since it opened. Ashley makes you feel right at home. Jason the owner and Jason the bartender are always amazing. This place is a great watering hole. The entire staff runs a fantastic bar and it's always one of the first places I suggest to people new to the area. read more

A strange and fantastic dive bar with a boat in the middle that you can reserve for parties. They have really inexpensive drinks as well. If you are into Moscow Mules, they have around 5 specialty options for 5$ each. They hold your license, for equity. You also have the option of purchasing the mug, which as a bartender is a commonly asked question. They also have tacos, and some other Mexican food. We did not eat on this visit, but I imagine they are A-OK. read more

This place had just opened when I reviewed it the first time. A year later, it's one of my favorite spots. The drinks are cheap and strong, the bartenders are nice and quick. The games are free so grab a table for pool, fooseball, or ping pong- or join us outside for a game of bags. What more could you really want? Yes, its out of the neighborhood but its totally worth the $5 cab ride home. read more

This is the place to go and have an affordable drink, play some pong, watch some sports, music is great and oh my, the chicken and fries are the best I've had.She makes her own pickles, and I'd buy these alone! Try a pickle shot here. Omgoodness. Best of all? Nice, nice folks. read more

Fun dive bar with pool tables and a fun boat to sit in! Good drinks and fun atmosphere.

The "Dive" part says it all. Oh, and there's a freaking BOAT in the middle of this bar, which is actually kind of cool and works. I came here to watch the Broncos playoff game (which they lost so I'll probably never come back here because of their badluck mojo) with a group and it was decently packed. The bar service was quick though as it was pretty easy to get a beer. If you like craft beer though, then stay away from the namesake "Dive Inn" lager, which I was told was brewed specially for the bar. Well, their special beer tastes like MGD, which is gross. So why the 4 stars? Because the food is dirt cheap and MUCH better than your typical bar food. Cochinita pibil street tacos for $2?? Are you joking? That's awesome. NOTE: You have to order food at the bar and then the kitchen calls out your name and on the other side of the bar where you can pick up your food. Not a terrible system as it cuts down on the wait staff, but the calling out of names every two minutes is a bit off-putting. read more

Dive Inn is a fun neighborhood spot! Huge space with nautical theme and plenty of seating indoor and out! Pros -Fun atmosphere - Friendly staff -Outdoor space -Pool and Ping Pong tables -Sunken Bar -Great drink specials Cons -TOO MUCH F@$KING COUNTRY MUSIC! Honestly, I love this spot, but the huge amount of modern country music is painful. That being said there is a jukebox that can help remedy this issue. read more

This place was amazing! I was in town from Dallas and this place was down the street from where I was earlier in the day and I tried it out. I had their green chili and the juevos rancheros and it was SO GOOD! Seriously I could taste how fresh the food was. The service was also outstanding! Food can always be great, but if the service is terrible then usually your perspective will change. THIS IS NOT THE CASE FOR DIVE INN! The service was incredible. Adam and Ashley were so awesome! They treated me as if I was the president and made conversation with me and everything. I even got a tour of the entire restaurant (which I think the ping pong tables are baller status as well as all the patios they have outside). I will definitely be back when I'm in Denver again. read more

Wow, fun little place this is! It's a bit nicer (to me anyway) than a regular dive bar. When I hear the words "dive bar" I have a way more divey place pictured in my mind. The bathrooms were nowhere near the standards I'd have for a place with that label. Ping pong, corn hole, darts, a funny fish hook game, and a random boat to sit in= a fun time for just about anyone! The only negative was that when I first walked in, some random old man spilled his entirely fresh glass of beer on me. Wow, what a way to be welcomed in? I was offered some rags to clean up, and that was about it. Sans the beer spill, I think I like it there. read more

I yelped for delicious Moscow Mules around the area (Broadway) and was led to Dive Inn for offering plenty of Moscow Mule options! I opted for the Caribbean mule and i loved it! I almost wish i tried the Greyhound though, because grapefruit mules are my usual favorite! For $5, i think it's a pretty good deal! Note: they keep your driver's licenses until you return the copper mugs. 2 mugs = 2 ids. read more

I went here the other night to grab my VOTR tshirt and hang out! A pretty cool place! There's even a real boat inside to sit on. There's also: -pool tables -ping pong tables -cornhole -huge tvs to catch your favorite sports on. -the pitchers have the built in ice middles so your pitcher doesn't get warm, especially when you're outside on the patio! read more

I love this bar. Unfortunately I discovered in the last few months before I moved out of Denver, but whenever I return for a visit I will be sure to stop by. I'm a huge fan of the free pool, backyard space for bags, pingpong, hotshot, etc The bar itself is a good-sized space with lots of room to move around - with indoor, semi-indoor, and outdoor options. But its not so big that you feel like you are the only person there. One negative is the location, but the cheap (and well made) drinks compensate for it. read more

Great bar! Awesome bartenders and strong drinks :) The food is really great too for the price. $2.50 tostadas and they are huge! Green chile is bomb, you can tell is made fresh every day or two. This is a great place to go with friends for a night out. Lots to do here, including watching sports games, playing ping pong, bags, pool and more! The main front bar has an outlet and USB port under each seat, super convenient! I've definitely used them quite a few times when my phone was running low on battery. Last but not least there is a boat in the middle! Super cool! read more

I recently scheduled a work happy hour here for a group of about 15. I spoke with the owner to get everything setup, and he was so incredibly accommodating. They offered to open the kitchen early for us, and reserved the boat (that's right there's a BOAT in the middle of the bar with life jackets to wear) and a few tables for us at absolutely no charge. Additionally, everyone was really impressed with the food. I'd say it's on the much better end of your traditional bar fare. Drinks are cheap, service was great, and all in all everyone had a great time. We spent a lot of time at the ping pong tables but had it not been raining I think we would have been hitting up the corn-hole outside. I would definitely consider this place if you're thinking of having a low-key event! I'll also add, outside of the work happy hour, we have probably been here 5-10 times. The quesadillas are bomb and the mules are cheap! What's not to love. read more

The food is tasty, and it's a good place to have birthdays or have a nice Sunday funday. They stream almost any game. You find a wide range of ages here and there are plenty of games and a patio! Did I mention there is a BOAT in the middle of the bar that you can sit in?! There's a jukebox and having TouchTunes is greatly helpful these days.. also, they put on some pretty fantastic events such as 80s prom night read more

I love the dive inn because of the atmosphere! Great games! Cornhole, pool, pong, video, darts!!!!! It's a winning place for me for some quick bites but mostly the Jamo mules!! Try a mule! read more

Great people, atmosphere, and drunken ping pong! Also the staff is nice and there's a boat table in the middle of the place. Kinda reminds me of the Chrysler table from Pulp Fiction. I recommend this place. read more

See all

If you like dive bars then the Dive Inn is definitely for you. Of course, the name is a double entendre since there is a boating theme throughout the place. Speaking of which, there is an actual speedboat in the middle of the front room where you can sit and have drinks. And, if you ask the bartender nicely, she might toot the horn while you man the steering wheel. If you like games, then this place has got you covered. In the back room there's pool and Foosball and the back patio has corn hole and ping pong. So, if you're the type of drunk who likes to challenge your friends to games, bring them all here for a cold pitcher. Before you leave, make sure to order some fried chicken. But be prepared to burn your fingers because you won't be able to wait for it to cool down. Don't tell my mom, but I think their chicken might be better than hers. Sorry mom . read more

I wrote a review 2 days ago however I can not find it now, so I will write another. We went in on Friday 2/13. Cool concept , we had been here before, at that time we had bad service , basically just RUDE. So this last Friday was the 5th try, and AGAIN, very rude. I am starting to think that if you are not a regular , you will be ignored and you will feel as if you are bothering the bartender. I tipped 20%+ on every round as I use to be a bartender I am totally about tipping.....but this place, you have to go up to the grumpy and rude bartender, but I tipped anyway in hopes she would be nicer. NOPE nada , didn't happen. Very sad as we like the patio and it is close to our office for happy hours, there are many more bars along Broadway that would welcome us and our $$$ . I hope this one gets posted, as I feel the owners should know....but I have a feeling they do, they just must not care. read more

Wings and cheese curds are to die for. Staff is friendly and prompt. Drinks are strong and prices are right. Heard amazing things about the fish fry but have yet to try it. Definitely recommend! read more

I remember coming here when it was BJ's Carousel. My how things have changed. It's definitely not the dusty and dark drag queen dive it used to be. Kind of miss those days. Not to say that the remodel is bad or anything. They gave it a nice face lift and threw a boat in the middle of it. I was a bit disappointed that the boat wasn't a pirate ship, but it was still a novel idea. As my date and I sat in it, the first thing that popped into my head were these Lonely Island lyrics: "I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat) I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat) Everybody look at me cause I'm sailin on a boat (sailin on a boat) I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat) I'm on a boat Take a good hard look at the motherf****** boat (boat, yeah)" The drinks are cheap and strong here and despite being busy, the bartenders were pretty quick. Bathrooms are nice and clean which is always a good thing. They have an outdoor patio area and they also offer pool tables if you're into that. I've heard wonderful things about the food and look forward to checking that out in the future. read more

They have a BOAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BAR. I just...oh it's hilarious and I love it. I've been here a few times and it's pretty average. Good vibe, decent people , fine location. Good beer specials, cool setup inside the bar with the boat, some shot skis, a very low bar up front -- it's a decent place. Nothing about it sticks out as anything other than normal, but it's never a bad place to stop. read more

For a dive bar this is a 5 stars bar! There's a billiards table, a boat in the bar, it doesn't get any better than drinking wearing a lifejacket in a boat. Cheap drinks, and the bartender is fast! Let me know how the patio is though! I will go back for sure. read more

I can't believe I didn't notice the boat in the bar until my third time here. That's just embarrassing. However, I will say that I have spent most of my time on the patio, so maybe that's a valid excuse! I love that there's corn hole, and that even though the patio is small, the garage doors open to make it feel much larger. I can't vouch for the food, but the beer selection is solid, the mules are delish, and there's a boat. Inside. How can you not like that? read more

Ok, maybe I stopped in on an off night, to their credit. My experience was not pleasant here, but here's why: Hipster doofuses that I made the mistake of talking to on the patio. I remember talking to one of them, and his friend interrupts me. I call her out on it, girl got maaaaad! She tells the bartender about this and says I had to leave. I never even had a chance to tell my side of the story. Just goes to show you what kind of clientele they primarily cater to and favor. To his credit, the bartender did supply me with a glass of ice water while I waited for my taxi. So at least he wasn't a total jerk. On to the good. The concept is unique, very spacious, and it looks like a bar that caters to their neighborhood residents well. I do believe in second chances, so I can find myself coming back in the future, believe it of not. Just not anytime soon. And I'll be sure to steer clear of hipsters. read more

If I could put 0 stars, I would. I have come in many times before and have always loved this place. However, on August 20th I came in to have a couple casual beers with a friend. The bartender, Ashley, was SO intoxicated she could barely stand. She didn't stop taking shots to serve patrons. It was very scary to be honest and someone needs to be paying attention to this. Extremely unprofessional.... read more

Great place to meet friends. Loud but great place. I will return. Regardless of occasion, always a great place to hang out.

The Dive Inn has some flair, kids! An otherwise unremarkable space was given a nautical theme and a BIG BOAT bolted to the middle of the floor. Yeah you can sit in it! And the horn will randomly go off until you work the steering wheel and pretend you're driving it! Okay yeah they serve drinks too, okay selection, bartenders friendly and fast as all hell. Rumor has it there is a patio; didn't see it, was sitting in the boat playing Miami Vice the entire time. read more

This place is great because.....5$ mules. From my understanding this is the price everyday all day. Which is pretty great to me. However, I ordered the tangerine and the ruby red and both seemed a little sweet to me. Also normally when I have mules they hit me pretty hard but I barely felt any sort of buzz (I was here for quite some time so this may have played a factor) There were also plenty of games (ping pong, corn hole, fooseball, arcades) so it made for a great atmosphere. Everyone there was really nice and friendly. I went here for a meetup and ended up hanging out all night with a different completely random group of people. They ordered some quesadillas which looked pretty good as well. The only issue is that its kind of in an area with nothing else around it. read more

Awesome atmosphere and lots of fun!!! Corn hole toss available outside. Ping pong, pool tables and a cool boat inside. Check it out - you won't be disappointed! read more

po dunk af. slow staff that notoriously favors regulars, aka old and trashy people. mgmt: do you understand that walkins will tip well if your staff does not chat it up for eva with their friends?! is this a vfw (right next door) or a public watering hole? improve read more

This place has great indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is limited, but get the tacos. We did have a disagreement with the bartender on the amount of drinks we had and he took as personal affront. I never rate on service but, you will never see wait staff if you are not at the bar. read more

I love to go here to watch UGA football games. They definitely cater to the Georgia crowd and the sec football crowd. The ambience is really amazing for games on Saturdays and the crowd gets very rowdy. The pitchers and drinks are cheap so it is perfect for watching football games. They have $5 Moscow mules that come in a variety of flavors. I had the regular one and it was delicious. I ordered the shrimp ceviche from the menu because it was really the only thing on the menu that wasn't super greasy. It was only $6 and was a super fresh combination of shrimp, tomatoes, and onions. It was served with a side of chips. I enjoyed it. Next time I go back to the dive inn I will try some of the greasy Mexican items from the menu. Looking forward to the next game day! read more

Love this place! Such a unique bar and such a cool place to hang out! Highlyyyy recommend checking this place out!!

My friends bragged about their chicken the kitchen closed at 9:40 when it said they didn't close until 10. I was heartbroken and starving so we ended up leaving solely for food. We would have stayed longer, probably had a few more drinks, and I would have had a better evening with their food in my belly, but oh well. I still loved the vibe and the small boats they have for you to sit in an drink like you're on the lake hanging out. I still hope to try their chicken and sooner rather than later. read more

My friend and I visit this bar frequently, and we love it! Friendly staff (thanks to all the Matt's, David, Ashley, Ryan, and others) and good drinks at decent prices. Oh, and don't forget to order a pizza after 9pm! They have multiple rooms for games, an outdoor patio, and a jukebox that you can contribute music to through your phone if you wish. Location is also convenient with lots of parking in nearby neighborhood streets. This bar is one of our go-to's for sure! read more

Always go there for big group happy hours. The last time I went, some people posted on the event page that it was too noisy because of too many people, so they left early. I'd say Dive Inn already made improvements since they didn't play loud music this time. Love their bar chair height stools - high enough to talk to people standing, while not blocking people from any direction to jump into the conversation. Very good place for mix and mingle. read more

How could you NOT love this place? I mean really, what's not to like? Cheap, delicious tacos. Ping pong tables and corn-hole. Pretty large selection of booze. You can be indoors or outdoors and enjoy your beverage. Juke box where I can use my iPhone to pick and pay for songs. Seriously, this place is legit and has such a chill vibe! read more

We had a group of us who went here after a volleyball game. The atmosphere is not really my cup of tea...but the food and drinks were good. Service was friendly and on top of things. read more
