Used to be a wonderful, safe and friendly spot! I want to make it clear that I am not reviewing…read morethis way in reflection of the bar itself, or other bartenders. It's a great hangout where "everyone knows your name," however, some people just should not be in a position of "power" if they are going to let their personal life, jealously and insecurities get in the way of their work... I was a regular here for a long time, as well as my husband was, but management has become increasingly unprofessional and, to be frank, unstable. The manager treats this establishment like her personal living room rather than a professional business. She regularly uses her position to settle personal scores, including banning people and '86ing' loyal, high-spending customers based on personal whims and private grudges rather than actual conduct. It is incredibly disappointing to see a local spot run this way. It creates an uncomfortable, toxic atmosphere where the 'vibe' depends entirely on the manager's personal mood or who she is currently upset with outside of work hours. It is lousy business practice and even worse customer service to regularly bait patrons and then use professional standing to retaliate against them. Even after letting an overcharge of around $100 slip until I noticed it and brought it up... The attitude remained. If you aren't in the 'inner circle,' or if she decides she has a personal grievance with you, expect to be treated with hostility. It's a shame because the bar itself is amazing and staffed with fun, great bartenders, but the current leadership is a liability to the business. Has been so and will likely get worse... There are plenty of other establishments in the area where you can spend your money without the high-school-level drama and unprofessionalism. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere that actually values its patrons.

I wasn't a huge fan of the salmon (not their fault, I was just expecting an actual piece of salmon instead of a patty but I didnt read the menu properly). We also had the patty melt which was good. Drinks were good but service was definitely lacking. We would go back and sit at the bar since youre probably going to get better service there. This was a Sat afternoon so they were a little busy but not enough staff.

The decor in this place is amazing. It isn't just the red frogs, with some green ones in the mix, but there are so many other creatures. Service was quick and friendly from the day bartender.

The burgers looked and smelled yummy! I did soak up the spectacular view from the deck. After the stress of the holidays this was a peaceful, much needed reset. It's a cozy, quirky place for the locals and travelers passing through. This isn't even touching on the passion seating room with pool tables and more creatures! You need to see it yourself.

Security checked our IDs at the door, and once we walked in, the bar area was packed. Luckily, there were reserved booths nobody was using and my girl, and I sat there since the main bar was crowded. It actually worked out perfect for us. It gave us space to sit, relax, and have a good conversation without feeling cramped. We ordered a couple of colorful drinks that were nicely balanced and flavorful, not too overpowering, and easy to enjoy. The music was hip-hop which is right up my alley, so the vibe was definitely on point. What really stood out was the atmosphere. I've never been in a bar quite like this where jellyfish were hanging from the ceiling, and a whole underwater theme. I was told a mermaid appears over the bar at certain times, but sadly, I didn't get to see her this visit. Overall, it was a great spot to end the night after the movie. Good drinks, good music, and a unique sea-themed vibe. If I return, I will hope to see a mermaid

The bar tenders have horrible customer service even when the bar isn't busy. It seems like they rather hang out and chat with regulars and friends than serve paying customers. The security guards we're blatantly discriminating against my friend for no good reason. Also, security apparently accepts bribes at the front door to let people in, so much for safety. The drinks were in my opinion overpriced and didn't taste good. Maybe I'm biased because my whole experience here put a complete sour taste in my mouth. Then, to top it all off my friends and I were being harassed by two patrons who had clearly been overserved the entire time we were there. We had no choice but to leave and we will never be back again! After visiting I wanted to leave a review because I felt other people should steer clear. To my surprise, I read reviews here that mentioned almost the exact experience we had. So, this is not an isolated incident and Dive Bar has not taken our comments into consideration. Disclaimer: I did not have this experience, but it was very disheartening to see all the reviews, tik toks, reels, etc. I found after visiting Dive Bar in which women and men are claiming to have been roofied. This may or may not be true, but it can't be a coincidence this many people have had the same experience. There needs to be an investigation into this bar. I myself will be placing a call to the BBB and I hope that anyone who has had that experience feels empowered to speak to the authorities.
