Weekly Blog Roundup – The Dive Bar

Who doesn’t love a great local watering hole (aka bar) where you know everyone (cue Cheers theme song) or at least know the bartender.  That’s the most important part anyway.  Around the corner from me is Broadway Dive, one of three places with Dive bar in their name.  Turns out they fill growlers.  And soon they will just fill my mug with beer.  Its a great place and makes me miss my favorite bar in D.C., Solly’s.  Here, like Solly’s, they have Big Buck Hunter, a locals vibe and a juke box.  Solly’s is good for PBR in a can, but at Broadway Dive, they have tons of great beer.  The bartender is friendly and attentive, the specials are good, and did I mention they fill growlers and have buck hunter?

Why talk about Broadway Dive? Well, now that I have been to Dive Bar (their other location) and the local spot, I thought they deserved a mention.  When my friends from D.C. come to town to visit (hint, hint), we’ll be hitting this place up, that’s for sure.
