My favorite dive is the Noc Noc in San Francisco. They turn the other way at smoking, the bathroom is painted black and smells like puke and the last time I was there a guy got his head bashed into the bar and started gushing blood. Now that is a good dive bar.

Cicero, I am huge fan of martinis so next time you venture to the Hay Adams for one I would be glad to join you. I think we should have a constitutional amendment protecting the institution of the martini, which is much more important than marriage.

off the wagon is a dive for douchey young professionals 'slummin' it for the night with other douchey young professionals. i almost had to come to blows with my best friend at a birthday party there after he got 'inappropriate' with the sister of the birthday boy in front of their father. good times.

Martinis are for ingrate poseurs.

Does anyone have a definition of dive bar? I feel it's being tossed around rather loosly. A "I know it when i see it" does not suffice.

Also, does anyone else remember that the term Dive Bar is kind of offensive? Remember, it's not a dive bar to everyone.

I was at the Lucky Bar this past Saturday on the upstairs patio. If I had been downstairs I would have had to converse with my friends over the soothing sounds of Metallica.

That seems pretty divy. The waitress was cute though. I liked her tattoos.
