    This used to be my favorite bar in the city! They had 4 Square long before it was trendy to have games at bars. Cool neighborhood vibe!

    Cheap booze on the Upper West - who knew? Solid board game selection for those in the know. Stake out a spot in the old, worn lounge area and stay a while.

    Nice chill atmosphere with a bar you can sit at (not too many people crowding it) and a mix of standing room, high tables and couches. Decent beer selection and small Halloween candies FTW.

    The 1st time we came here, we stumbled in after reading reviews, looking for a nightcap at 2 am. We walk in, a guy is playing a trumpet, and the entire bar is having an epic singalong. Yup, come here.

    Dive 75 is a great place for a first date. Have a drink or two over a game of connect four or Janga. Just make sure you eat before you head to this pub, they don't serve food.

    Undeniably the best bar in town. Won’t find duvel or delirium or draft anywhere else.

    Don’t be misled by the name. It’s called Dive because it’s aquatic themed, and well, because honestly it’s 75% dive beer. Great beer selection, and a rare Upper West Side bar with character.

    Many domestic drafts and very good music. The best idea after walking across Central Park!

    There's no food service, which makes this place nice and laid back. There's better beer selection close by at Amsterdam Ale House, but that place is usually slammed with people trying to eat.

    Drink or Treat - this neighborhood bar does what you wish your neighbors did every day growing up...give away candy. Help yourself as you mull your choices from their consistently strong tap lineup.

    Very nice selection of popular and more obscure beers, but leave your appetite at home because there's no kitchen.

    Cool neighborhood joint with a nice beer selection. It's Halloween for adults with free candy. And play time with Connect 4, Scrabble, Jenga, Yahtzee, Battleship, etc.

    Waaaaay too many people ordering Budweiser products in bottles. They have Founders Porter and Magic Hat on tap, people! I recommend you go somewhere lame to drink your stupid drinks.

    Find an empty Jenga piece and write down a dare. Show off your skills and have a riot laughing at what is written on the wooden blocks. Some game pieces are missing but fun-sized candy makes up for it

    Play Apples to apples, Jenga or more to your heart`s content. Tip the bartenders nicely and they often give you a drink on the house!

    I'm usually wary of any bar that has to put "Dive" in its name to lend itself some cred, but this one wasn't too bad. Look out for the meatheads ordering PBR tall boys. Stick to the good beers they ha Read more
