Me and my friends went there last Friday for a friend's birthday. It took about 10 minutes to even get a bartender to acknowledge us and another 10 for him to actually serve us our drinks. I paid half cash, half card and the bartender overcharged me on my card by $10, claiming he had given me change from the cash I gave him. Knowing I had absolutely no cash back when he gave me my card, we immediately left. I never recommend anyone going here!! Cons: rude bartenders, overpriced drinks, very small space

This is a bar I could get used to hanging out at 4-5 nights a week. Its that good! Wednesdays are karaoke night - and one of the LEAST pretentious venues I've ever been to. The crowd is friendly, drama-free neighborhood regulars 25-35 yrs old. Great drinks - Tina the bartender is the best & verrrry easy on the eyes! Yum! Pros: karaoke on Wed nights, friendly staff, crowd of neighborhood regulars Cons: gets really crowded where the bar ends and opens into the DJ room, late-night cow parade on the weekends can get nasty

The tap beer selection at Dive Bar is the most redeeming quality the place has. The service is sub-par and made for a bad experience the time I visited. The music in the jukebox is okay, but it was turned off and replaced with a dj that played music too loud to allow for conversation. Dive Bar needs to decided if it is a dance club, or a bar and do one well. I read the word 'pretentious' in another review to decribe this bar and I wholeheartedly agree. Try the San Jose Bar and Grill. Cons: Bad Service, Expensive, Bad Atmosphere

After reading that Dive Bar was voted the "Best New Bar" and "Best Cocktail Lounge" in San Jose, and having heard good buzz about it, my friends and I had to check it out for ourselves. It is now our hangout -- we LOVE it! It is a perfect and welcome addition to downtown San Jose -- the bartenders and security are the nicest, the drinks are fantastic, the DJs play a great mix, there's no cover charge -- and no pretentiousness. Even on the most crowded nights, you can tell the patrons appreciate a good spot downtown -- unlike some of the other scary places nearby. If you haven't been to Dive Bar yet, I highly recommend you check it out. Pros: DJs/music/atmosphere, Cocktail menu, Bar staff

My gal pals and I wanted a fun place to hang before heading out to spend the night at Club 8. We were dissappointed in the music. Not our kind! There was no action there at all. Maybe we'll have to try it again on another day. Thursday nights are dead! Pros: Downtown Cons: Music
