The 9 Best Dive Bars in Boston

Anthony Popeo: Excellent for dates. Cash only but super nice setup. Great cocktails, solid beer selection. Service is a little slow.

Carrie Bevis: In mid January, the cozy dive bar was still covered in wonderfully tacky Christmas decorations. Solid beer and spirit offering

FunkMasterTee: Divey Beers and Food, y'all! Come n get it!

Spike: An inexpensive college bar that you will keep going back to. Mainly because it's so cheap, but also because it's awesome.

Jarrod Fleming: They say not to leave your dead hookers in here but they wont look in the restroom for them when you leave.

Andy Thomas: Total. Freakin. Dive.

Rue La La: Intimate atmosphere for brews and bites, including $2 burgers before 8PM, Monday-Friday. Can't decide on a beer? Have the bartender spin the wheel and choose it for you. Take note: it's cash only.

Nicholas Adam Owens: Best dive bar in Boston!

Boston.com: Not sure what you want? Spin the beer wheel, cross your fingers, and hope that you land on Port Brewing’s Shark Attack or Ommegang’s Duvel Rustico, rather than Coors Light. You’re stuck with it. Read more.

David Cunningham: Excellent beer selection! And always ask for some yum yum sauce for the French fries. So tasty.

Keith Albee: Don't call Bobby "Weggie"

Matthew Fay: Cheap beers. Beware yuppies stay away.

Jo Lam: Awesome place for a chill night and people watching. Oh and great bartenders!

Spike: Your classic New England dive bar; cheap drinks, gross bathrooms, and Big Buck Hunter in the back. Pow.

Jason Bortle: Leave your whores at home and come in to enjoy cheap beer!

Jake Smith: The beers are cheap. The bartenders love to show off the "Gone Baby Gone" scrapbook (ask about it!)

Jag Firerwalker: Good place to have a quite beer and not to be bothered

Rocco R.: Mike D. Best bartender in Boston hands down. Try Sweatpants Sundays starting at 7pm.

Dave L: Althea is great. This is a hidden gem of drunkenness!

Jacqueline Donohoo: Ray is the BEST. He works every weekend. His sangria is the bomb!

Karen Kenyon: No matter what at this bar you are never the drunkest one! And that is awesome!!!

Alexander Ward: Amazing place, fantastic staff and really nice crowd!

Andy Ellis: A Southie Bar, less yuppies than most.

Brian Oneil: Now serving Food and its really good!

Jessica Jara-sweet: People are amazing and the bouncers are to die for!!!!
