13 Best Dive Bars near Imperial Beach

“Great place, love the atmosphere...but 30 dollars for a hat is a bit outrageous!
Bartender Tom was awesome!
The sign on the bar said 25 dollars for a hat but the owner happened to be there and told Tom that it's 30 dollars now. Shouldn't have the price advertised on the bar and then change it willy nilly. That part kinda sucked but otherwise I really loved the place!“

“Had a lot of fun. Highly recommended“

“Cool Spot! Always an interesting spot to hang out, have a few pops and people watch...“

“You can't call it a dive bar when they have $300 bourbons on the shelf! Erin is great. We went there twice and will probably go back again later. And there are pinball machines and a pool table and other arcade games. Fun place.“

“Definitely not a place that gets going all night like a club would but a very cool and quaint spot to grab a drink with a group friends. Pool tables and a variety of drinks on tap. Bartenders are receptive as well. Juke Box is a plus to play music of one’s choice.It’s honestly kind of it’s own place in the middle of everything, but wouldn’t mind staying here for a night and drink the night away. The Elwood is nearby too.“

“Old dive bar! Been goin here for awhile… 25 plus years! Xoxox.. glad they cleaned it up but kept the dive feel“
