Don’t be misled by the name. It’s called Dive because it’s aquatic themed, and well, because honestly it’s 75% dive beer. Great beer selection, and a rare Upper West Side bar with character.
This place is a foodie haven—100 plus wines, grilled calf liver, all that jazz. The best part though? Kitchen’s open until 2 a.m., and those guys make a mean blue-cheese burger.
I am not a rich or dangerous man. But if I were, I'd sit in the plush, red nook of this Scottish bar, past the portraits of kilted Scots in wartime victory. Try the grapefruit and vodka hand squeezed.
It’s a jazz joint with real palm trees and amazing cocktails, made by a legend in the mixed-drink world. It may look a little pretentious, but you can’t deny the truth: the drinks are good. That good.
Nearly every New York City bar serves this local joint’s brew, but swing by the place itself. From 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., pay $4 for a wooden nickel and redeem it for any beer the place brews.
