Divebar AArrrgh!

DiveBar
Tropicana/Pecos

Porno is a funny thing. Put a guy in a public place with porno on the big screen, and he reacts the same way a cheating husband might when encountering his mistress at a P.T.A. meeting. We know the sluts that are on the big screen we are very familiar….very familiar. However even in public places like Divebar one cannot stare too long….even after a few beers and 2 shots of Divebar’s infamous “Pirates Blood.” Earlier that evening I enjoyed yet another successful bull-pen session at the Champagne Café. Loose and ready to begin I headed east on Tropicana.
I’m the one with big tits and funny hair!

This is what Trika (aka Sally) the Manager for Divebar told me before I went in for my review. “Indeed that’s her all right, you picked an interesting night get her comments” said the doorman whose name I cant seem to remember. The Divebar has been in existence since September of last year. In an area like Las Vegas where the glitzy intermixes well with low brow Divebar fits right in. Especially a place called: Divebar. With so many local places competing for such a prestigious title the owners and operators have balls for nixing public opinion and naming it. For San Diego readers just think of The Alibi in Hillcrest except the edge here at Divebar is clear. I’ll admit I’ve been to “divier” joints with career drunks passed out mid-drink, but the Dive is good mix of local and out of town people looking for a good Rock and Roll bar. For being in existence less than a year the vibe is that of an older place. There are Rock and Roll bars in Vegas that are what some may consider: more raw. For example you have the Double Down (not yet reviewed but been there) and the Cooler lounge (not yet reviewed), both of these also serve as venues for Punk and Rock bands.
Baseball Tonight & Porno

My experience at the Dive was augmented by my 2 favorite things; baseball and Goth-girl porno! As my opening paragraph suggests, nearly 4 drinks down and slowly moving from buzzed to drunk is when I noticed my two favorite things on T.V. I knew then that Divebar would become a personal favorite (at press time this would be proven true with several recurring visits). If you do come to Divebar try the Pirates Blood served in a plastic cup.

Highlights
Divebar boasts a great juke box of old punk favorites and some of the newer rap/metal mix that I hate. The bartenders are cool, laid back and serve Pabst Blue Ribbon cans. The crowd is a good mix and the place makes for a good venue with good local bands nearly every night of the week. So check it out and check out the damn Wal-mart that’s in the same parking lot. You can do what I did and piss on the building on the way home.
