I was in this place with my fiance a few weeks ago, and it was a total disaster. The food was meh, and then later in the night, a massive fight broke out between these drunken idiots, and the bouncers, the bartenders, and I think one of the owners had to get involved... also whoever the main guy was didn't even attempt to deescalate the situation, and made it even worse more than anything. Total nightmare, and completely ruined the evening.
We never leave reviews on anything, but something had to be said about this place. We live in the area and usually go to either the Pinkerton or Poor Romeo on the same block.. both places are fantastic. Better food and drinks, and the staff are amazing. We decided to try something new. Bad mistake. Avoid at all costs!

Thanks to Phil and his team for throwing the best kid-friendly Christmas party. We ventured over from the Annex and the journey was worth it. Big kudos to Santa and his giant elf were great with the kids. Good food and drinks.

When I saw it was a xmas themed for December, I knew I wanted to have my bday celebration there. First off, they told me I had a table for 12 (I reserved days ahead), and they sat us at a table for 6. So my friends and I had to crowd around. Secondly, the bar turned into a "club" once 11pm hit and they turned their seating area into a "dance floor". The dj (who sucked btw) stopped playing xmas music and turned the volume up so loud, I couldn't hear the person next to me. Thirdly, because y'all wanted your bar to be a club, we had middle aged drunk women dancing up our backs. When I asked them for space, they verbally berated me about how "if you don't like dancing then don't come to a dance club". Which I didn't know The Dive Shop was! I've been many times before and this was the first time it's ever been like a "club". I reserved a table so my friends and I could *sit down* and enjoy a few drinks for my birthday. Stop trying to be something you're not.

Went here with some friends on a Saturday night and the vibes were great!
Got a bit hungry, got the parm fries and they were heavenly. Some friends also tried the fried brie and I almost cried with how good it was. We'll be back here again soon, especially on Wednesday for trivia night!

The pineapple coconut fried rice is da bomb...if you ask for it spicy the chef is not shy 👌
Always a vibe at the dive shop ! Delicious food and drinks, with a stunning outdoor beach style patio ! Music to dance the night away on Friday's and Saturdays is always a great time !

Absolutely loved Dive Shop! Booked the front area for my birthday and the staff were SO lovely, friendly and super accommodating. I had about 35 guests throughout the night and everyone had such a great time dancing & drinking and left wanting to come back. This place is a gem.

What a vibe. What a nice getaway in the city that feels like you are in the Florida keys in a local dive shop. Oysters were amazing, other dishes on point. You need to see the place to get the atmosphere!
Great vibes!
