Dive bars are broadly defined as a shabby and disreputable establishment—essentially the lowest of quality drinking establishments. Though there are numerous guides to Boston’s “best dive bars,” this complicates the definition of what exactly constitutes what makes a bar a “dive”. If a dive bar is always shabby and seedy, is it possible to be “the best” in being the worst? If so, would the award for the best dive bar actually go to the worst? Many of these common standards that define a dive…

Rhapsody at Chimbiya (Drama) Breaks squeaked and the engine boomed announcing its arrival at Chimbiya bar. Suspicious four faces alighted from the machine without number plates and entered the bar. “Barman, give us four beers,” one of the four men with a scar above his right eye and slightly shorter shouted. Make sure the beers are cold added another of the group After an hour, the bar was full of patrons. Call me, Bonzo; the man with the scar told the bartender. And that man with a…

OWLS. Now what makes me call my place owls is because who doesn’t love the owl and who doesn’t love the who. It’s a mix of a wing joint and a casual restaurant all wrapped in one. The type of operation that owls is a casual restaurant. It also has a bar that allows people to come and relax and have a drink. The location that owls is place is Denver on 16th street. The reason I chose Denver Is because it a hot city that is growing at a steady speed and its showing no sign of slowing down yet.…

When one pictures Orlando, the first thing that comes to mind is amusement parks, great weather, and perfect vacation getaways. This past weekend, however, shook the Sunshine state—and the nation—to its core as bloodshed overwhelmed the local community. On Friday afternoon, the 22-year-old singer who made her name on NBC’s “The Voice,” Christina Grimmie, posted a video to her Twitter and Facebook accounts jovially inviting her fans to watch her perform. Shortly after her performance, she…

mind about going in, but hunger and thirst won out. There were only a few people in the bar. Two men to the right of the door,…

For my photoethnography project, I decided to observe local dive bar Frank & Marlee’s in Oxford, Mississippi. Frank and Marlee’s hosts a special every Tuesday called “Taco Tuesday” and offers dollar tacos, as well as eight-dollar margarita pitchers. Many students and residents frequent this tavern to enjoy drinks and food everyday. However even though many people find Frank & Marlee’s accepting and inviting, I discovered many attributes often don’t represent that notion. Todd Lynch and his…

but his most recent collection ÷(Divide) is definitely his best album to date. Good music is largely defined by each individual and is rarely accepted across the board. Ed Sheeran, however, is accepted across many genres. His songs have made the charts in the standard…

up for some time, and will most likely remain in this state for just as long. Beyond the glass would lie a great deal of dimly lit wood. Wooden stools, wooden booths, a wooden floor, and, most importantly, a wooden bar, as that was what The Late Fowl is. A bar. A cheap, familiar dive bar. It’d be either…

Tokyo Ghoul: Unravel My Soul Chapter One: In Every Nothing Lights from the stage flashed throughout the bar, blinding the crowd as they screamed and danced. Lights in purple, blue, red and yellow circled around them and upon the walls of the massive dance floor. There was a bar to the left, lit by black lights. On the right stood a metal clad staircase that led to an area where people could sit and enjoy their drinks. The singer was a young girl, with a short build. Her voice was rough, and…

It has the bars all over it with words that can describe one’s self. Around these chocolate bars and wording are dashed-lined boxes as if you would cut them out like coupons. The brown background fades at the center to give it a little pop, just enough to make the reader’s attention draw towards the bars. It affects everyone just by looking at it and gets them think, “I NEED a snickers right now.” They may…
