What makes a great Dive Bar?
This morning I finished my shift at Amazon at 6am. Took my shower and stopped at my favorite little watering hole that opens at 6am, O'Kelley's Bar and Grill here in Mesa. They start cooking at 7am and there are 4-5 regulars that are always here having drinks or coffee when I arrive by 6:30-6:40 am.

I have a beer or two then order my food, always lunch items as I hate eggs and will never eat them or most breakfast items.

The food is incredibly good for a place like this, great prices and super nice people.

By 7:15, there was 40-50 people already inside drinking, eating, playing pool and other stuff.

This is one of my Top Five Dive Bars I've ever been to.

So, do you like dive bars and what makes a good one?

The seating and size is great and lights are low.

Feels so comfortable like an 'ol friend.

IMO, once your favorite dive bar starts getting too crowded, it's time to find a new dive. It's someplace where you can grab a drink, talk to the bartender/wait staff without yelling, order some deep fried food of some kind, and maybe shoot some pool. Typically a dark, yet friendly, whole-in-the-wall joint where you can go to relax or forget your troubles.

Depends if the GILFs expect me to spring for all the drinks and buy them lunch. If they do, we gotta nip that shit in the bud and call the pros.

There need to be more places that serve lunch food in the mornings. I f-ing hate breakfast.

Weekends are terrible for people that hate breakfast, everyone serves "brunch" (breakfast with mimosas) and don't offer a single lunch item until it's over, sometimes as late as 2pm.

Ding ding ding we have a winner right out of the gate. This is my criteria also!

I've never heard of such a thing. Perhaps you need to review your choice of establishment?

Yup, luckily I've always lived in larger cities that have that option. I eat breakfast 1-2 times a year, that's it. I'll have a couple of bagels or sausage McMuffins or BLT but that's rare.

I think people are certainly part of it but it needs more than that. Good drinks for the price, good music, food and good friendly service.

To me it's a package deal.

Yeah. I agree 100%. It's the people who frequent the establishment that are the major factor in making a dive bar. It's all about the atmosphere created and the regulars contribute to creating that atmosphere the most
