The Dive is tucked into a little brick row home on Passyunk. It is the type of neighborhood bar you wish you had just around the corner from your place. Happy hour is from 5 to 7 p.m. every day, with $2 liquor, $2 beers and free slices from J&J's Pizza, just down the street. The wood-paneled ground floor has a long bar that spans the length of the space. Colored Christmas lights are strung along the perimeter of the tin ceiling, and a big flat-screen TV hangs in the middle of the bar. TV Dinners, Chef Boyardee, Hot Pockets, popcorn and ice cream are served from the glass-front fridge, and heated in the microwave conveniently located below it. Friendly as hell, the bartenders serve five different beers on tap, including Yuengling and the seasonal Lancaster Milk Stout. The signature drink is whatever you want, but the bartenders recommend a Planters Punch (Captain Morgan's and Bacardi with OJ, pineapple and a splash of grenadine). It tastes like something you'd drink with breakfast-that is, until you're knocked flat-ass on the floor. Via (cityPaper)
