DEFINITION
A dive is an unchanged, well-worn establishment with quirky nick-knacks, a distinctive smell, and a collection of regulars. They often have a jukebox in the corner or boast live shows. The reputation and friendly service of the dive are generally unknown, but once discovered
they have a story to share.
