The Dive — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Came in to a bad body odor smell. The bartender was not particularly friendly to I and my friends although he was friendly to the other customers.

The bartenders are great, prices are good, and Happy Hour is Monday-Sunday from 5-7pm with $3 draughts. There are also a couple of TVs to watch the game in this...

Very small but intimate. Good quality beer on tap. Active jukebox. Friendly bartender. We even had fun chatting with other patrons.
