Dropped our kid off to 1st day of college today. Found our way by chance to Dive Bar and Restaurant. Foods banging, drinks are great and the people, the view and atmosphere are on point!
August 2025
Funny story. We were actually going to the restaurant nextdoor. Walked in here and didn't realize it was not the same place (maybe need better indications, my only complaint). It was busy and the girl at the door was super nice and seated us and warned us that food may take a little longer due to how busy it was. So we sat and while looking around, we noticed it was not where we were supposed to be😂. But we decided to stay. Glad we did. Even though it was busy, it didn't...

The food was good and the view is nice if you get a table facing the water or parallel to the water. However, I felt a lot of the appetizers were a bit pricey. The buffalo chicken spring rolls were worth it though. I don't know what the entrees are like because I only had drinks and appetizers. The craft beer is also a bit on the pricey side, about 1 to 2 dollars more than it might be at other places. I also felt when we were there, it was a bit loud.
