Niko the bar tender was super kind and made me feel super welcome!
Great spot! The dumplings were absolutely delicious, as were the deviled eggs. Delicious!
One of those iconic “dive” bars, which if you are visiting the Hill, you better not miss this. I hear of celebrity sightings, flirty staff, mirrored bathrooms, all in a non judgmental welcoming place to grab some very refreshing and flavorful adult beverages!
La Dive was a chill, relaxing bar experience on a fun Wednesday evening. The food we tried was above average, and the wine was tasty, service quick, and vibes on point.
Erin the barkeeper was competent and friendly. The deco was chill. The food was fresh af. The frozen citrus Hennessy cocktail is something I'll return for. I would definitely recommend this spot.
La Dive is a very fun and funky wine bar. It's an industry joint with good prices and a fun crowd. The bartender and atmosphere were a ton of fun when I visited. In addition to the wine, they have tasty cocktails and great snacks from the kitchen. I'll definitely be back!
Went for the Walk MS fundraiser for which the owners were super generous not only with the use of their venue, but with donating proceeds. The atmosphere really made me miss living downtown. Barkeep was friendly and my wife loved the virgin margaritas. Next time I'm in town I'll be trying to go back.
