While the definition of a "dive bar" varies, the following is a list of notable establishments which have been described as such. A dive bar is typically a small, unglamorous, eclectic, old-style drinking establishment with inexpensive drinks; it may feature dim lighting, shabby or dated decor, neon beer signs, packaged beer sales, cash-only service, and local clientele.[1]
