Beer special, in the can or bottle. If a true dive, I prefer not to use their glassware.
Agreed, plus there's no telling when the lines for the keg were last cleaned.

Usually kind of a skid row dump, the kind of place the nightclub crowd avoid unless they are slumming it.
Man ... I maybe understood just five words in that sentence?
You mean a trendy place, I guess?
The empties are also great in a fray.
Tough to explain. Trendy, no. A dive is pretty much the polar opposite of a trendy club.
The way I would describe an American dive bar is a humble, working class, somewhat disreputable establishment where locals go to drink cheap booze and occasionally throw bar stools at one another.
The Wikipedia definition isn't far off either.
It's different in the UK, men don't usually drink anything with more than two ingredients, and I know a few pubs where ice counts as an ingredient.
That's a healthy attitude

I used to go to a dive bar where you were searched at the door for weapons. If you didn't have one they gave you one.
