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 cr...

Worst

this place is more of a wannabe-yuppy crowd sipping on yucky appletini's. definitely not a real 'dive bar'. i wish san jose had more real dive bars with drunks and bikers- more ...

Nice Place 2/13/2005

I go to Dive Bar by accident. I look for Vietnamese bar, get lost. I'm very happy Dive Bar. I have bartender. She got blond hair and big things that catch your eye. Most pleasing, big smile and good drinks. She put lotsa shots in my drinks. Den after big tip, I get free drink. I go again sometime. Lots to recommend. Don't like snacks. Pros: bartender, beautiful wood bar, closed caption tv Cons: hard to find, loud pool table, sticky floor more

Dive Bar almost rocks! 2/10/2005

This is a gay friendly bar with lots of potential. Unfortunately, the music from the juke box and DJ's is predictable. Tons of Abba, Pet Shop Boys, Neil Diamond and the Grease soundtrack. It's ok, we can rock too! Otherwise, it's a good place to kick back and talk. Cocktails are pricey but bartenders will hook you up if you play your cards right. Pros: big liquor selection, beautiful bar, pool table Cons: music, prices, suspect neighborhood more
