When I saw your heading, I immediately thought, "He's talking about a dive, not a bar". Sure enough! McSorley's Old Ale House in New York, where people stopped in for a brew after listening to Presidential hopeful Abraham Lincoln's campaign speech at Cooper Union down the street, and where women weren't allowed until the 1970s, closed last year due to health code violations. I guess there wasn't enough sawdust on the floor.
Now, that was a dive.
