Dive right in, the water — and beer — is fine!
Our list of the town’s Five Best Dive Bars — starting with the Kentucky Inn, winner of the Best Dive Bar in the Best of Denver 2011 — has fans of dive bars and definitions alike plunging into the discussion. No White Owl? No Bar Bar (Carioca)? Does the Kentucky Inn even qualify as a dive bar? And what about My Brother’s Bar, one of our very favorite places in Denver — but no dive bar, some drinkers insist. Sal, for example:
My Brother’s Bar is NOT a dive bar. In my day, a DIVE BAR was a little dirty maybe, questionable clientele, staff not all that caring, cheap drinks, very little if any food (and not very good). But…. a Dive Bar can be a lot of fun!!!
