Kentucky bourbon wings are def Top 5 in the city and worth the trek to UWS! Great selection of beers and other food, but seriously, chicken wings and their house hot sauce is tempting to steal ;)

Great beer list , tons of stuff on draft . Definitely not as scuzzy as many dive bars I've been to. Food is actually pretty good too. Don't miss the hot dogs , shashuka and the mussels

A "Dive Bar" is the last spot you think would have decent seafood -- check out anything from the lobster mac & cheese to the grilled salmon sandwich and even a lengthy list of mussels specials.

Must have the poutine here. Ad some Bacon and it's even better. Great beer selection & wonderful staff .

Horrendous wait staff ! This pains me to say since their beer selection and food are wonderfully delicious. More often than not, the wait staff treats you like a burden while they drink and text.

Greatest neighborhood bar there ever was with solid bartenders and an EPIC beer selection

Go and play board games ! Great for hanging out without feeling awkward. (Fellow introverts know what I'm talking about!) Music is a bit loud though.

Good beer menu , solid wings and a good poutine

Their poutine wins the most-cheese-curds-for-your-dollar award by a long shot, and gets extra props for the fact that the extra-crispy fries hold up well under all that weight. Read more

Shakshuka comes in a regular sized frying pan. Pretty darned good. The poutine is smothered in cheese . Delicious

One of the best tap lists in the neighborhood . Extensive food menu too.

Holy catfish bahn mi . The name is deceiving - the food is fantastic.

Great selection of beers on tap . Try the Kwak it comes in an odd glass but is still great.

Great beer list and great food at this Upper West side institution.

If you plan on getting trashed, and NOT hearing about it on Monday morning, pay the Dive a visit. Appropriately named with kitsch decor and the smell of last years kitsch to match. Doable prices.

Great Bar , Friendly staff and the Biggest selection of beer I have seen.... and I live in london....

One word: Poutine . The extra-crispy fries really stand up to the whopping pile of gravy-covered cheese curds that make this dish exceptional. Read more

This place is cool for a group of 4, lots of locals. Get the pretzels .

Good drinks and a very nice food menu - Not a real dive bar!

The rather-clean bar has an underwater theme and is a frequent student hang-out.

Truth in advertising: a total dive bar. Decent beer selection , surprisingly acceptable food, too.

Great mussels , wings , mozzarella sticks , and much more

"This Amsterdam Avenue watering hole randomly offers free mussels on Fridays on a first come-first serve basis starting around 5pm." - eater.com

Wings , fries , and Belgian beer selection for days.

Usually pretty bad service but good beer and generally good food. Also $10 pitchers of Bud Light , if you prefer cheap beer to good beer . Multiple veg options , including the specials.

Try the exclusive house beer here, an unfiltered amber ale brewed by Chatham Brewery in the Hudson Valley.

The ambiance fits the name - a dive, but surprisingly delicious food! Must try the lobster mac and cheese or the shrimp caesar salad - my favorites :)

$12 for a pot of steamed mussels , dive fries and a Stella - best deal in the city .

Great beer selection ... The muffuletta was good but I will probably try something else next time.

Neighborhood genuine bar , great beer selection and no hipsters .

Great bahn-mi and eggplant sandwich !

If you've got a fresh face and good complexion, chances are you'll get a free pitcher of bud ;)

Decent bar with a nice beer list . It was already packed by 4:45 on a rainy Friday!

Scum bag bartender @ dive bar. We're only ones at the bar and watching Michigan football game, but he decides to turn up volume on a different game. What a douche.

Order the house beer ' its huge!

Awesome vibe, great peeps... But make sure you ask for Jenny (spunky, tall, lanky brenette) as your waitress/bartender - she rocks! And will hook it it up (hat's off).

Excellent onion rings . The "dive fries " are just fries . I don't understand the name. Neither does the waitress .

They have southern tier pumking on tap . It's delicious!

Shaksuka! Mussels ! Great beer list !!!

Beer flights ????????

Tuesday night is trivia night ! Fun for all and win $25..

Perfect place for low key bar talk

Th catfish tacos.....SOOO AWESOME!

Excellent beer selection , but the food is lacking, and I tried everything.

Good place for a drink and a game.

WINGS! Also great beer .

Very white and douchey crowd... My friends and I felt like we were in a crowded frat basement . Not about that life.

Fried pickles and wings . Dinner of champions. Decent selection of craft beers .

One of the few places in NYC you can find a Muffuletta .

Had a great time off to beat my friends in a beer challenge
