What does "dive bar" mean these days?
Some think they have to be cheap with dark lighting and no frills. Extra points if they smell like spilled beer and sweat. Others believe a pool table, darts or a pinball machine are de rigueur. Live music from local bands? Absolutely. Everyone there knows your name? That's so TV. Does the bartender offer you a free shot? Sometimes. Cheers!
