Dive 75

Dive 75 is a classic hangout that feels more like a living room than a bar, with couches, armchairs, a big fish tank, and a playful atmosphere—board games like Connect Four, Jenga, and Scrabble are always on hand and there’s usually a few people chatting over a game or music from the jukebox. The bartenders are laid-back and welcoming, ready to pour from a massive craft beer selection (up to 30 taps!), plus ciders, scotch, whiskey, and tequila for anyone looking for something different.

The crowd is local with folks stopping by for trivia night, free candy, after-work drinks, or just to relax on the couches late into the night. Sports are always on the TVs, and you might even see regulars holding court for hours by the fish tank—it’s never too loud, so catching up with friends is easy. Dive 75 has earned its status as a neighborhood staple since opening in 1999, and it’s the kind of place that feels like home whether showing up solo or with a bunch of friends.
