Dive Inn

I Unilocaled for delicious Moscow Mules around the area (Broadway) and was led to Dive Inn for offering plenty of Moscow Mule options!
I opted for the Caribbean mule and i loved it! I almost wish i tried the Greyhound though, because grapefruit mules are my usual favorite!
For $ 5, i think it’s a pretty good deal! Note: they keep your driver’s licenses until you return the copper mugs. 2 mugs = 2 ids.

Ashley was a wonderful bartender! Atmosphere and bar were cool. Will for sure be back!

A strange and fantastic dive bar with a boat in the middle that you can reserve for parties. They have really inexpensive drinks as well. If you are into Moscow Mules, they have around 5 specialty options for 5 $ each. They hold your license, for equity. You also have the option of purchasing the mug, which as a bartender is a commonly asked question. They also have tacos, and some other Mexican food. We did not eat on this visit, but I imagine they are A-​OK.

the wings were hands down amazing! I have always wanted wings off the bone but nor «boneless» like everyone else serves. I want the real thing minus the bone and they do it here! amazing quality and atmosphere… love this place!

This place is great. Drinks are cheap, food is good, and by far the best bar service I have seen in a long time. The bartenders are extremely friendly, go out of their way to make you feel welcome, and are always eager to make sure you are having fun. Highly recommend!

Dive Inn is the only bar for blocks that seems open and welcoming to everyone. The drinks are cheap and I liked the mason jar style of them. The boat in the middle is fun if you get to take a seat and honk the horn. Bar stools are really low to the floor but keeps with the whole «dive» mentality of the place. Overall employees seem really friendly :)

Amazing! Great Food and Drinks! Awesome Owners

Came here at night, so I didn’t have any of the food and can’t comment on it, just came for drinks and fun. This place had a good drink selection, $ 5 mules with many flavors, the atmosphere was lively, and they have so many games to play! There is pool, ping pong, cornhole, board games, darts, and some other niche things (swing a loop on a string and try to snag it on a hook on a door), that no matter what you will not be bored. To check out bags for cornhole you need to leave an ID with the bartender, and the same when you order a mule bc they want their cups back — make sure not to lose that cup! My fiancée left his on a table and was unable to find it, and had to bargain with the bar-​tender to get his ID back and prove he didn’t pocket it to steal. We would love to come back here with friends because we had a great time, didn’t spend too much, and I want to try all the games!

The Dive Inn is a great casual bar on Antique Row. The «Dive» part of the name is a reference to the Scuba/​Fishing theme, not the quality or cleanliness of the establishment.
For sports fans, there are plenty of TVs. Game enthusiasts will enjoy the ping pong, darts, cornhole, pool, Golden Tee and board games. There is a large selection of booze for the drinkers. And the bartenders always make you feel welcome. There are 3 patios to get your outdoor drinking fix in and a boat to sail the seas.
I can’t think of a negative thing to say about the place.

This place is great because…5 $ mules. From my understanding this is the price everyday all day. Which is pretty great to me. However, I ordered the tangerine and the ruby red and both seemed a little sweet to me. Also normally when I have mules they hit me pretty hard but I barely felt any sort of buzz (I was here for quite some time so this may have played a factor)
There were also plenty of games (ping pong, corn hole, fooseball, arcades) so it made for a great atmosphere. Everyone there was really nice and friendly. I went here for a meetup and ended up hanging out all night with a different completely random group of people.
They ordered some quesadillas which looked pretty good as well.
The only issue is that its kind of in an area with nothing else around it.

I recently scheduled a work happy hour here for a group of about 15. I spoke with the owner to get everything setup, and he was so incredibly accommodating. They offered to open the kitchen early for us, and reserved the boat (that’s right there’s a BOAT in the middle of the bar with life jackets to wear) and a few tables for us at absolutely no charge. Additionally, everyone was really impressed with the food. I’d say it’s on the much better end of your traditional bar fare. Drinks are cheap, service was great, and all in all everyone had a great time. We spent a lot of time at the ping pong tables but had it not been raining I think we would have been hitting up the corn-​hole outside.
I would definitely consider this place if you’re thinking of having a low-​key event! I’ll also add, outside of the work happy hour, we have probably been here 5 – 10 times. The quesadillas are bomb and the mules are cheap! What’s not to love.

Dive in is appropriately named. It’s the dive-​iest of the dives. I can see how the atmosphere there would be pretty cool late on a weekend night when you’ve already had dinner and are a few drinks in to the night. The drinks are just about as good as anywhere else, the staff was friendly, the food was MEH (best word I can use to describe it), and the layout is a little strange — feels disjointed between 3 or 4 different rooms.

Came here on a Friday night and the place was half empty but that doesn’t necessarily mean a bad thing! Very chill environment. Love the decoration and obviously the boat in the middle of the bar. The only bad thing it’s far from everything really so it’s not really an area you can bar hop cause there isn’t much else going on in a mile radius.

Yes, yes, yes. This place has everything that I want in a bar — pool, crazy shit like a speedboat with tables, a great atmosphere, cheap drinks, great service and it’s never been packed full which I appreciate.
I’ve come here for birthdays, dates, meetings and just to chill and never have I been disappointed.

I live down the street from this bar and have found that this bar is going down hill fast, it no longer caters to anybody properly. It needs to terminate certain bartender males who are arrogant and foul mouthed not to mention racist.

Best bartender, service, & prices ever! We had so much fun! We asked if they had a koozey we could have or buy & initially she said no, but then she went to the basement to double check. She came back up with a baggy of cool stuff, including a koozey! We bought a glass & left a large tip & it was well worth it! I would’ve spent more money!

When you first walk in, you’re like «Oops, let’s get the ef outta here.» Ignore that. You just walked into a place called «Dive Inn», give it a chance.
Because what awaits you is a good time at a really coo… is that a speed boat?
1. There’s a god damn speed boat right in the middle of the place, and you can sit in it with yo friends. What?
2. Ping pong tables in a room with giant swordfish on the walls.
3. Foos and pool tables in the back back, with lots of pictures of people fishing and life vests. Have I sold you yet? Cuz I got more.
4. Corn hole in the out back area. Love me some corn holes.
5. The kicker. $ 5 mules. If I haven’t got you yet, this should do it. I mean, mules are delicious and for only $ 5? In a copper cup ! And I had you thinking this place wasn’t fancy! If there’s a better way to stick it to the terrorists than to knock back $ 5 mules while playing ping pong under the gaunt stare of a giant swordfish, I don’t know what it is.
If you see me in there, challenge me to some ping pong, if you win, I’ll buy you a mule. But you won’t win, sorry.

I can’t believe I didn’t notice the boat in the bar until my third time here. That’s just embarrassing.
However, I will say that I have spent most of my time on the patio, so maybe that’s a valid excuse! I love that there’s corn hole, and that even though the patio is small, the garage doors open to make it feel much larger.
I can’t vouch for the food, but the beer selection is solid, the mules are delish, and there’s a boat. Inside. How can you not like that?

I remember coming here when it was BJ’s Carousel. My how things have changed. It’s definitely not the dusty and dark drag queen dive it used to be. Kind of miss those days. Not to say that the remodel is bad or anything. They gave it a nice face lift and threw a boat in the middle of it.
I was a bit disappointed that the boat wasn’t a pirate ship, but it was still a novel idea. As my date and I sat in it, the first thing that popped into my head were these Lonely Island lyrics:
«I’m on a boat (I’m on a boat)
I’m on a boat (I’m on a boat)
Everybody look at me cause I’m sailin on a boat (sailin on a boat)
I’m on a boat (I’m on a boat)
I’m on a boat
Take a good hard look at the motherf****** boat (boat, yeah)»
The drinks are cheap and strong here and despite being busy, the bartenders were pretty quick. Bathrooms are nice and clean which is always a good thing. They have an outdoor patio area and they also offer pool tables if you’re into that. I’ve heard wonderful things about the food and look forward to checking that out in the future.

Guys, guys, guys. Why has no one let me know about Dive Inn? Seriously, I’m feeling cheated right now.
James F and I poked our heads in the other night to use the Moscow Mule Passport deal. Dive Inn has 8 different mules from which to choose, so we were already sold. But upon walking in and being greeted by some cool bartenders and noticing a freaken’ boat in the middle of the bar, we were already sold.
So we shimmied up to the bar, chose our respective mules, and enjoyed a fantastic evening chatting, people watching, and sipping some damn fine drinks.
Before we closed out our tabs, we were encouraged by the bartender, whom I think was called Kramer, to take a look around the joint because it was a lot bigger than it seemed. And holy cow, it was! The place already seems massive, I mean, there’s a speed boat *rightthere*, but continue past the boat and the main bar area, and you’ll find a room full of pool tables and ping pong. And then an outdoor patio with more games and another bar! Geez Louise! This place is definitely a Tardis.
I don’t know about you guys, but I have a feeling that you’ll be finding me at Dive Inn a lot in the near future. Care to take a boat ride with me? (Seriously, I need to hop in that boat!)
