Greetings from the RMDB Admin Team! The Dive Bar Check In is the place where you will let us know about your favorite Dive Bar and what makes it so special. At this time we are working on a rating system that is truthful, engaging, and, hopefully, a little irreverent.
Last night as a group of the RMDB Scouting team was out checking our some of the local, around Ann Arbor, MI, bars and watering holes, we discussed the virtues that contribute to a true dive bar. They ranged from sticky floors to limited drink options to risk of infection. We discussed smells, menus, and pondered the question of why, oh why, is karaoke a thing. All of these, when combined, coalesce into the ever changing definition of a Dive Bar.
Earning the recognition, and title, of Dive Bar by this group is truly an honor and should never ever be considered to be anything other than a compliment. This dedicated team of professionals is on your side, we love a true Dive Bar, and it is our hope that this site will help you maintain and, perhaps, reclaim your status as the best damn place to have a drink!
Please take a moment and let us know about your favorite Dive Bar. Check back often as this site is evolving and will be your source for Dive Bars around the world.
Thank you from the RMDB Team and The Ambassador!

Nawiliwili Tavern. Oldest bar on Kauai and former whore house for whalers, back in the day.
Trees Lounge. In a word; weird? Setting and decor scream dive bar. Local music and regulars that know the drill (everyone seemed to know to bring their own “shaker” ... empty water bottle with pennies inside). The kindest and most gentle of dive bars (even had tweens doing hula and selling leis to fundraise for a competition).
Hula and leis? I’m in! Have fun, corrected T-shirt for ya when you get back.
