I prefer my establishments to be without live music, because it's distracting and loud and generally not that good. I'm generally there to talk to someone, and I like to be able to hear them.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think you can have live music at a dive bar as long as there's no cover. If you have to pay to hear the music, it's not a dive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you have to fence off the live music--dive.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
there are 3 bars in our neighborhood( there used to be 11 at one point)
The derby- dive, small , bad screwdrivers, and people who are more open to all kinds of people give it a sideways look.
The mexican place that I can't remember the name of - mostly spanish spoken there. there is a sign on the door ( in spanish ) that says no guns, knives, or farm implements.There are lots of bar fights and they hire sequrity gards. I'd call it dive, but they serve a very specific group of people so some of it is neighborhood bar.
The florence - been there forever and ever amen. Biker bar. pool tables . not a place to order scotch , because they don't have much that is good. people are a fraid of it because it is a " biker bar" - but we know who owns all the harleys. They have food on special occasions, the usuals police the behvior of each other and strangers, and they have bands. They have a bike drive every year at xmas time and get bikes for kids at xmas ( not motorcycles). neighborhood bar.
I don't think there are any bars with swank in Fremont.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Actually, I think of that as more of a honky-tonk.
ETA: That being live music, no cover

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I might be out $2740.00 for a few days....

If I only had a brain...
no guns, knives, or farm implements.
I hate it when people bring their manure spreaders into the bar.

The florence - a honky-tonk? - too small, no danceing.
I just thought of a swanky bar in fremont - across the road is Papillon, a french restaurant. actually has a real nice bar- with good wine and themake a cosmo right. I really should be able to guess the name of whatever orange liquor is in the cosmo.
never mind - you weren't talking to me...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ack, Tommy, that sucks. I hope they fix it quickly.
I do not want a diet coke. I do not want a diet coke. I do not want a diet coke.
