The service is good, the food is exactly what you want if you want bar food. Basically if you like loud, college style bars with bar food and a good beer selection, this place is for you. If you dont (like me), this place can still be tolerable, which makes it an absolute gem when I am forced to go to such bars by my friends. Edit/response for Dive Bar owners: Different people like different styles of bars. I know a lot of people love loud bars like yours (including many of my friends). Kudos to you all for hitting your niche and and still having a solid environment for those outside of the niche.

One of the local bars in my neighborhood, my roommate and I usually end up here when were not sure what to do for dinner. The food is well above your typical bar standard, and they have a very wide selection of beer that can serve any beer-drinkers taste. The staff is friendly and helpful when they can be - even though the kitchen always seems to take forever to deliver the food (which is always worth the wait). It gets very crowded on game days, but if you can get there early enough for a seat at the bar, its worth it!

Great drinks if youre willing to make the hike uptown. Dont be fooled by the name. Its definitely far from divey. Also dont think youre limited to your standard bar food. Oh no no... the food here really shines. I had their catfish sandwich, which was amazing. I was underwhelmed by the fries though. Just plan on polishing off your sandwich and youre more than set. They also have an extensive dessert menu - ask to take a peek and theyll bring over a tray for you to peruse.

This is a review for the food, I went there for a quick dinner and didnt have anything to drink. The server was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is nice, but I have to admit, I would not come back here for dinner if I was in the area. I had a salad with scallops on it and the scallops were so small I thought they were chickpeas. My friend has a chicken fajita and seemed to be content with it, but honestly it was mediocre bar food. Stick to what you know!

Was supposed to be a dog-friendly bar, so I brought my dog. They turned me away and said they cant allow dogs. So I asked about the guy whose dog was running around loose in the bar, and they said he was on his way out. The truth was he was a regular and they were willing to let him let his dog run loose before they let me in with my dog on a leash. Favoritism... oh well, at least I guess Id rather have a life than be a regular at "dive bar".

Great place to chill. Service is fairly prompt, servers are kind, and the food is delicious. The poutine is the bomb. Happy hour prices are solid too, though I wish the hours were advertised, as it took me a couple of trips to figure out there was one. Go when they arent too busy and its all around great. If you dont like how packed the inside can get, theres usually a table outside you can snag. Cheers!

Great. All-around great. From the staff, beer selection, decor and location, Dive Bar is one of my favorite spots in the city. Not too far North on the 1, 2, 3 line, but just far enough away from the bustle of Midtown. The staff is friendly, and the crowd is never too big. (Unless youre at the Bourbon County release event.) Its an excellent spot for people who love good beer.

Great uptown spot for craft beers and trivia in a no frills environment. Havent been brave enough to eat anything here given the UWS has far better options for that. Im a sucker for fish tanks so it goes without saying that having one as the centerpiece of the bar is a plus in my book. Do be sure to take some of the free candy theyve got lying around if thats your thing.

This place is average. The food is decent and the drink selection is good but I find the prices to be a bit high for what you get. I also find the clientele to be a bit surly at times and the awkward proximity of the table to the bar make it uncomfortable when the bar gets crowded. The acoustics are also really lousy so it is hard to hear. The staff is pleasant though.

A wonderful community of people from all walks of life. The Dive Bar became our date night destination nearly twenty years ago, and has continued to be our home away from home! The people who work there are always welcoming and fun, in addition to being highly professional. The food is always a cut above the usual pub grub, especially the mussels from around the world!

This place has a really nice alcohol selection. The had at least 20 beers on tap including punkin ale. The food was pretty good, but the bartender forgot to put my order in, so I sat around for half an hour before I asked him what the deal was. I got my meal 5 minutes later, and for the trouble the bartender took the last beer I had off my tab.

Im with the other reviewers - average all around. The food is decent, the beer selection is decent, the beer is super cold and the service is friendly. I love the dive-y decor (both dive-related and dive as a descriptor) though and thank god for normal-sized bathrooms, a hot commodity on the UWS!

Reasonable prices and good bar food... quick service with a somewhat mixed crowd... definitely not a real "dive" bar but the closest you can find on the Upper West side in 2016 I would have to say... anytime i am in the upper west side this is one of my go-to spots for a pint or three...

I stopped in with a friend after work randomly and do not regret our decision. The drinks are not cheap, but the quality is worth every cent. The food was extremely tasty too, and the waitress was very kind and helpful. Definitely hitting this place up again in the near future.

We went there twice during our stay in NYC. The service was good, a bartender with excelllent memory and good food as well. Few IPAs on tap (didnt try), for a sport fan it would be a good choice I reckon. Nothing fancy,just proper boozer. Can recommend if you live/stay nearby.
