i frequent many dive bars, and i feel that this is a perfectly acceptable definition of such and establishment.


That suggestion of the origin of the term 'dive bar' seems pretty unlikely to me. Was it just speculation or is there some evidence? To use the term 'dive' to explain going down below street level to a bar just doesn't seem very 1800s to me.
