dive bars are the places to drink in public. 'clubs' are just full of shiny shirt, fake tan, this is my new fuckin haircut, duckface photo taking bro asshole fuckheads that are just gonna piss you off. sure, dive bars can sometimes be full of hipster types who can be kind of annoying if you actually interact with them, but they arent gonna be all agro and up in your shit. also sometimes dives have kinda seedy, skeevy, molester pedo-stache looking types as well, so youll have to shop around for the perfect rundown hole in the wall, but bro-avoidance is fully worth it.
