The Dive Bar

  • May 8, 2003
  • Rated 5 of 5 by grazer from United Kingdom, United Kingdom
Futuristic tube train, black walls, caged lighbulbs, antidote to corporate hell of wetherspoons.

The Dive Bar is quiet on weeknights around 7pm, but real busy on Friday nights and weekends.

I recommend a Newcastle brown ale. In the men's toilet next to the urinal the other day, I was reading the graffiti as I pissed away my Newcastle brown ale, and there next to it was a small piece of useless metal. It was so intriguing that it had graffitti dedicated to it:

pen1:"What is this?"
pen2: "I don't know, but it makes a really satisfying noise".
pen3: "It really does! Try it!"

Now, it was so intriguing that I had to try it, and do you know what? IT MADE A REALLY SATISFYING NOISE.

This alone made the venue a 'must.'
