I have been coming to this place with friends for a couple of years when we want a casual place to shoot the shit and have a drink. Typically we have a decent time.However, tonight my friends and I came in early in the evening after celebrating our friend’s birthday. We minded our business but nonetheless a few patrons at one table decided to start hooting and hollering at us and making comments about how we all looked, unsolicited. We immediately decided to leave because we didn’t want to deal with any of that after an otherwise good night.This would have all been completely forgettable IF one of the bartenders hadn’t followed us out of the bar to accuse us of harassing the customers. He threatened to call the cops on us if we didn’t leave, even though we were already on the street and leaving.Needless to say we won’t be back. As others have said, this bar is nothing special, and dealing with hostile customers and staff isn’t our idea of a good night.

An important neighborhood establishment. A rare bar where different age/social groups commingle, hard to feel out of place there. Food is definitively above average, they do great things with mussels making it rather singular in that its a dive bar where you are more than on point getting seafood.

Fun, casual place to get a drink. Nice to sit outside there when the weather is nice. Decent beer list. Definitely a barman bar. Food looks better than it tastes - order it as an accompaniment to your drinks...

Honestly, I was very impressed with the food. Better than I thought Id get at a dive bar. And a large selection. I was also very impressed with the vegan options for my friend. Definitely going to start eating out here more often.

2404 Pub with interesting menu. Solid 4.On the fluffier and sweeter side than the traditional firm pretzels (my preference) but tastes good— imagine a brioche knit with salt. Slightly too oily. Quite expensive at almost $18 for just a pretzel but it’s such a phenomena and fun to share :3Buffalo wings taste good too.Can be crowded and busy on game days.

Came to dive bar on a weeknight at 11 pm because it was one of the very few places that had outdoor seating and was still open at that time in the neighborhood. We were seated outside but it took some time before the server came with waters for us. Got the dive bar burger and the everything wings. We were almost served some other partys food at one point. When the food finally came, the fries that came with the burger were cold (they had so much potential to be delicious though because they had that crispy coat to it). Burger was pretty good, I was a pretty big fan of the bun and the patty was cooked well. The wings were perfectly crispy but lacked some flavor (perhaps a little more salt wouldve helped?). While there were a few hiccups in the overall dining experience, dive bar met my needs for a super late dinner.

The food was okay. We had the chicken fingers, fries, onion rings and lobster mac and cheese everything was pretty decent except the onion rings they were flavorless. We sat outside and the table was slanted so our drinks literally slid off the table twice. We told the waitress and she said well you could always sit inside at a booth lol.

We went in during happy hour and enjoyed the $5 burgers and $6 loaded hot dog. The food was fresh; the garden salads veggies were crisp. Cant beat $3draft beers. I was pleasantly surprised to find this good quality food at these prices. Its a dive bar with good food and friendly staff. One of the few affordable bars in the upper West side of NYC.

Dive Bar was by far my favorite dining experience during my stay in NYC. The menu had many NOLA inspired dishes and a huge beer selection. I had the tomato soup and muffaletta pretzletta. The half sandwich portion was very large and easily enough for 2 people. Our waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. The environment was fun and comfortable.

Recently, at Dive Bar on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, I got a lovely hazy IPA and an absolutely incredible Guinness beef stew that rivaled my grandparents home cooking. The Rye whiskeys were on the house from Lee, the Best bar owner in NYC! If you are looking for a pub forward dining experience in terms food, Dive Bar is an excellent choice. Lee is always adding both innovative recipes and classics with a twist to the menu. You won’t be disappointed!

This is your neighborhood bar where everybody knows your name. Its really like going to Cheers.

I want to take a moment to praise Dive Bar, which stands out for its great location and tranquil atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a cold beer and savoring delicious appetizers.

Not the most romantic atmosphere and the bathroom could be cleaner, but it has a good neighborhood vibe with the best selection of whiskey in the Upper West Side. They have multiple bottles of hard to find whiskey(bourbon) to sample like weller 107 and blantons for petty good prices! The fries are crispy and the mussels with a beer special is my goto favorite

Great bar with good food and a decent selection of beers. The mussel+beer deal comes with a ton of mussels. Taking a star off for false advertising on the deal - the paper at each table says a Belgian beer (suggesting any Belgian beer), but your only real option is a can of Stella

This is easily one of my favorite joints on the UWS. They have a really extensive menu (both food and drafts!), everything is always great - service and quality! I love their staff, especially Jesse. It’s clear the owner Lee is invested in his business and truly loves the place. It’s definitely my “Cheers”. Love Dive!

Review №37

Do not order the Buffalo wings!! You’ve been warned. The were deep fried in a thick floury coating and steamed? The steam was still riding from them when served. They were soggy, mushy and oddly sweet tasting. The nachos were meh. The server was lovely and fast and efficient. My cosmos was well made. But those wings man. You would think a sports bar would do wings right. But no. It was a fail.

Great atmosphere for hanging out with friends and neighbors. Not only will you find a huge drink menu, including craft beers youve never heard of before but will most certainly want to try, but youll also find a great food menu as well. The establishment prides itself on just how good the food is! A must visit place in a terrific neighborhood thats easy to get to even if youre not on the upper west side.

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.

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.

Review №63

I had previously given this bar 2 stars because its loud and service is slow. They seem to start raising the volume of the music at around seven. Why do bars do this? The extra star is because $5 wine at happy hour is a good deal, and the large plate of fries is the most fries ever.

Review №71

Cute and effective bar! Dropped in with two friends after an event. Spacing was a bit tight but then again, its Manhattan. I ordered a burger and fries with two glasses of wine while my friends had blue long islands. Food was decent, drinks were fine, waitress was sweet, and the ambiance was cool! No complaints here and if Im ever in the neighborhood, I would definitely drop in for a bite and drink. Be aware though, the security/owner does ID you! No complaints from me as Im in my 30s and found it as a bit of a compliment! BUTTTTT.....since having had a front row seat (only available seating was a table right by the door) and being able to witness that EVERYONE regardless of how old you looked was IDd.....I thought it was important to mention. Either way, have no fear....still a cool bar!

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.

Review №75

Imagine a pretzel thats softer and sweeter than the typical firm variety, evoking the texture of a brioche with a hint of salt. Its delightful flavor may come off as somewhat oily to some, yet it remains irresistibly charming. Despite the steep price of nearly $18 per pretzel, its unique allure and appeal make it a must-try experience worth sharing. Buffalo wings also provide a tantalizing taste sensation. Expect bustling crowds, especially on game days.

Review №76

TERRIBLE SERVICE. The waitress was rude. She messed up our food order. Did not bring us napkins. Over charged us by claiming everyone had 2 rounds of drinks and then called us a liar when we called her out on it. When she brought out the food she tried to hand it to my friend who had his phone in his hand. She took the plate and wiggled it in front of his face instead of just putting it on the table in front of him. He was confused and tried to move his hand out of the way and she almost dropped the plate on his lap. She got angry at him and told him to put his phone away. We are not coming back and I would suggest no one else come back until they figure out how to treat customers the right way.

This place is the best. The food is excellent, but the vibe is what really makes this place stand out. It nails the divey feel youd expect from a place called Dive Bar, but with the friendliest service ever.

Lives up to the name. The decor is what your would expect from a dive bar. Lots of random knick-knacks on the walls, looks like it hasnt been updated in some time. I thought the atmosphere was really fun.That said, there are plenty of TVs here, and the taplist is excellent. They probably had 25 beers on tap, one from Other Half, 3 Bourbon County Stouts, and several other beers that arent necessarily easy to come by.They also appeared to have a large selection of bourbons and whiskeys. Couldnt really comment on the quality or prices, but there were certainly a lot of them.

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!

Despite the name, this bar isnt particularly divey. Its large, well lit (for a bar), and has a extensive food menu and beer selection. While my dining partners had a regular lager and wings, I was able to get a Belgian witbier, eggplant parm panini, and a surprisingly fresh salad. The price was also reasonable, considering the location.

Being a local minority sometimes its hard to find a local spot for a drink that doesnt profile you and doesnt make you feel as youre out of place. I went for a drink during July 4th wkend with my husband and I felt comfortable and welcomed. My husband even forgot his phone on top of the table and one of the workers ran out to give it to us. Ive been in the neighborhood for 38 yrs and Ive never walked it. I will definitely go back for another drink. Thank you for the hospitality. It did not go unnoticed. I wish more establishments would be like you especially for the locals.

DISRESPECTFUL STAFF- KICKED US OUT FOR NOT NOT DRINKING ALCOHOLI wish I could give this place a negative review. My wife and I were just kicked out of the Dive Bar by the male bartender for not drinking alcohol.We went there to watch Game 7 of the yanks game (diehard yankee fans). We waiting a bit for a seat, then we sat down at the end of the bar and ordered and paid for seltzers. The bartender asked us if we were drinking...I advised him no we were not drinking alcohol (because my wife may be pregnant) and he had told us I have paying customers and if you arent drinking leave. Regardless of pregnancy or not, its COMPLETELY WRONG to kick someone out for not drinking alcohol. We will NEVER go back there again...what a heartless way to treat people.

That I hadnt yet reviewed Dive Bar on 96th is almost disturbing, since it is the nicest Dive Bar in the area. Their beer menu is longer than a New Yorker thinkpiece and is certain to have at least a couple that will hook you in (but some will still drink Bud...erm, not that theres anything wrong with it).

The burger was good, with a generous helping of fries. The place was upscale while under the aesthetic of humility.

Dive Bar is a nice spot!! Located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the atmosphere + vibes are quintessential for a dive (& thats what makes it so great). They make a good margarita and their fries are a perfect shareable bite!!

The bar tender picks and chooses who to be friendly with. One minute she smiles with certain customers, the next minutes shes rude with the next. When working in any customer service job, it is ideal to be friendly with all people.
