What People Are Saying
from Google"One of the best Dive bars I’ve ever been too. They specialise in ketchup bottle cocktails. $28 for half a of bottle of spirits and mixer. But you get $5 back when you return the bottle. Great value beers here too. Love the hanging plants from the ceiling and faded browning walls, it’s just a fab place. Don’t miss it! And the miniature spirits bar is fantastic!! It’s cash only - ATM next door is pricey, so come prepared! The staff are really funny and friendly too!"
"A truly unique experience. Horrifying or wonderful depending on your perspective. This is a quintessential dive bar. Squeeze bottles of booze and cheap beer. Sticky floors, cramped booths and a ceiling that looks like it's about to fall in. Worth a visit."
"The place is actually filthy and it was overpacked on the night I went to check it out. To top it off the bartender was rude to me within the first 10 minutes of being there simply because I wasn't aware of the cash only rule. She was unpleasant when answering my questions, said I couldn't have water unless I bought something, and was just antagonistic to me from the beginning. Don't know why people waste their time and cash here, just to squirt liquor in their mouth from an old ketchup bottles"
"Probably the best dive bar I've ever been in! Fantastic squeeze bottles and cheap drinks, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Great place to spend a weekend night in. Will definitely be back"
"Dirty and Divey just like I like it. Cocktails in squirt bottles. Also cheap beers. Doesn’t look like it’s been cleaned or renovated in like 50 years. Still love the vibe."
