I was a bartender and server for 8 years... if you're looking for good service, don't go to a dive bar, that's not what they're for. People forget that "dive" originally signified dirty and disreputable.

I love McGlinchey's because it's a place I can relax, and smoke, and drink good beer and whiskey at insanely low prices, and I respect that the employees can and should be rude to assholes. There's like ten bars within spitting distance that will bow and scrape for you. Go there.

Cheap everything, including a surprising beer selection, (Chimay blue for $8????) but very rude and inattentive staff if you aren't a regular. (Tbh, I kinda like that in a smoking dive bar, so idgaf. It's part of the ambience to me.)
