As much as we love breweries, visiting taprooms, and enjoying the newest release, sometimes we just want to pop down into a ripped booth or scuffed stool in our favorite dive bar and possibly around a round or two shoot some pool. 

C'mon, everyone has one, right? 

The place we go where the lights are a little bit dimmer, the conversation a little crankier, and the air just a tad bit staler. 

We love dive bars in all their mighty glory because there is nothing quite like putting back a shot and a can of Hamm's or Genesee Cream Ale under the decades-old glow of Christmas lights and neon Coors signs. It just makes us all warm and fuzzy inside. 

We love any of the country's best dive bars, but honestly, we know that everyone has their favorite. 

So, on July 7th, National Dive Bar Day, we're celebrating our nation's most iconic hideaways and showing love to these memorable saloons. 

To earn the National Dive Bar Day Badge 2024: Check in any one (1) beverage and add a location with the category of Pub, Bar, or Dive Bar between July 5 and July 8, 2024.

And while you're at it, drop us a line here: What is your favorite local dive bar?
