Description: For nearly 50 years, the no-frills, all-business boozing destination in the heart of San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood has been a watering hole for all kinds of drinkers. From the topless portrait of the previous owner’s grandmother behind the bar and the doodled on dollar bill-covered walls to the stiff but cheap drinks and funky restrooms, High Tide Cocktails was a dive bar in every sense of the term. While the establishment changed hands over the years, the name and the divey ambiance remained, as did the revolving cast of mostly female Korean bartenders.

It was established in 1922 by the socialist activist Leland Stanford Chumley, who converted a former blacksmith's shop near the corner of Bedford and Barrow Streets into a Prohibition-era drinking establishment.

Description: Tucked into the side of the Moore Hotel (built in 1907), this old school dive bar bordering Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood first opened it’s doors in 1939. They served up cheap (and stiff!) drinks from nice, but no-nonsense bartenders in a colorful, no-fuss, vintage atmosphere. It was the kind of place where bike messengers, old-timers, metal heads, hipsters, and oddball downtown characters sat side-by-side in harmony. They also had live music, dart boards, pool tables, a killer happy hour, and strangely, really good food. It closed suddenly in Spring 2016 and locals have lamented the loss of “the last real bar in Seattle” ever since.
Description: For decades, the self-proclaimed world-famous Winners Circle Bar was the place where locals, bikers, country folk, and tourists just passing through would to meet and mingle over a cold beer, refreshing drink. Located on historic Route 66 in Holbrook, Arizona, Winner's Circle was a friendly biker bar with a motorcycle on the roof and was very much a dive with a laid back atmosphere where everyone was treated like family.
Description: Lacey, Washington, was originally called Woodland after settlers Isaac and Catherine Wood, who claimed land there in 1853. When the railroad came through in 1891, residents decided it was time to apply for a post office. The request was denied because there was already a town called Woodland on the Columbia River. They decided to call the city Lacey and got a post office, though the city of wasn't officially incorporated until 1966. One year later, The Loose Caboose Tavern opened in Lacey, and quickly became a popular watering hole for the locals, many of which commuted to Olympia, Fort Lewis, and to some extent, Tacoma, for work, but came how every night to tie one on at their favorite tavern,
Description: Takeshi is the youngest in a long line of Japanese whiskey brewers. When his older brother refused to run Whiskers, the whiskey bar attached to the brewery, Takeshi offered to take it over for their aging father. His father, not wanting the family business to die, reluctantly accepted, though he found Takeshi's tattoos and laid-back attitude unsavory. But something amazing happened once Takeshi took over; lines began forming nightly at Whiskers, buzz about this bar that played Ghibli Jazz covers began to spread across social media, with plenty of chatter about its handsome new bartender who sported sleeves of ink.
