Business Description

A lot of people who walk into the Dive Bar for the first time immediately comment, "this isn't a dive bar!"Well, yes and no......The dictionary defines "dive" as a slang term, best described as a "disreputable or run-down bar or nightclub". So, in that sense, no, we're not a dive bar. But anybody who has stumbled upon a local dive bar and had a great time, knows that dive bars are sometimes the most ... more

In Short A cocktail lounge in the heart of downtown, Dive attracts both smartly dressed young professionals for after-work drinks and a hip pre-clubbing crowd on weekends. The bar is highlighted by plush red-leather booths and a vintage 36-foot-long mahogany bar where people line up to order both classic martinis and contemporary creations. Entertainment includes seven TVs, a pool table, ... more

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

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.

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 ... more

Dive Bar is the coolest!

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 ... more
