6 Best Dive Bars near New Haven

“It always great food at Archie’s“

“3 of us came to watch my granddaughter play in a basketball tournament at SCSU. We had Googled 'dive bars' on the way. We were not disappointed. The neighborhood atmosphere was evident. From the 3 friendly patrons who greeted us to the genial bartender. A 'Cheers' atmosphere. The 'melt in your mouth' burgers were the best ever. And we were pleasantly amazed with the bill! A definite place to return.“

“Fun place to spend an evening/night. They offer lots of different theme nights during week ranging from pub quizzes to karaoke and free beer. Definitely a must visit, but you can only get in if you are associated with Yale or come with a friend who is.“

“Stopped in before going to a show at the Westville Music Bowl. Got the New Haven Burger. That may have been the most juicy flavorful burger I've had in a long time. Sandwich is huge so cutting it in half may have made eating in a little easier. Great fries. Would definitely go back when in the area.“

“Came for dinner tonight and was ignored for outside seating. Other people came without going inside to the hostess and were still served. Waitresses and waiters walked by and act like we didn’t exist.“

“Best place with the best people and the drinks are great!“
