Its downvoted because its Paul Allen, but this is a good list.

I would add Phil Brady's and Port Royal. Maybe Duvics.

Lakeside Bar
Bogie's
Ivar's



Dont go to any of these. These, especially the last 2, do not resemble a dive crowd-wise at all.

I don't know but I fully support your post. It's a good list

There aren't too many well known dives in BR.

I'd venture to say you would experience plenty dives in BR playing pool leagues though.

Slinky’s, Zee Zee’s or Chelsea’s should be just what your looking

If not, check out Southdowns Lounge.

Georges southside, rip louis Miller. I was a regular there for a few years in mid 2000’s. But it was a good place you could belly up to the bar, your drink was ready before you sat down.... and an eclectic cast of regulars that you became “friends” with. I can’t imagine it has changed

Dive bars in BR thing of the past

but the good ones were:

- The Bayou (arguably one of the best dive bars in america)
- The Thirsty Tiger (the spot to bring your side piece or hide from something)
- The OG happy note by BRCC
- Tabby's
- The Fishbowl on North Street


I'm long removed from BR, but i don't really consider skanky old old man bars (albeit fun places i'm sure) outside of those areas to be true dive bars.
