Classic dive remains endearing by keeping things simple.

In Short
All the elements of a textbook dive--dim lighting, unadorned bar, smoke-filled air--come seamlessly together in the narrow room. As the hanging sign outside suggests, Old-Style on tap is a fixture, but the bar stocks a few domestic and German bottles as well. A dartboard has a following, but the decades-old jukebox crammed with oldies gets the most attention.
