Dive Grille (regent Square)

Last Sunday I went to brunch there and a young man (sorry i forget his name) offered excellent service and was very fast and friendly. not to mention, he made a fabulous espresso martini! therefore he had no experience making this drink, as the bartender had not arrived yet. can't wait to go back!

Service is hit or miss depending on who is working. Food is above average for late night kitchen. Beer selection is decent, but sometimes very flat.

I will admit, I kinda miss Ryan's. That's what this place was before. Ryan's- a dirty lil' neighborhood bar, with a smoking patio, and out of date paint job, with shot specials from the 80's.There was a hot second where someone was trying to turn it into a cocktail lounge, which was one of the most misguided reads of a neighborhood ever. Thank all that is heavy that did not happen.On the positive side, I would have never, ever ordered food at Ryan's, because it was not anyone's idea of clean. Dive proves it's not really a dive at all by being clean and having good food.Now, it's clean, and comfortably lit, with a nice selection of craft beer. There's no smoking. No internet jukebox blaring away with someone's bad taste in music. The draft lines are clean. No graffiti. I'm not a big fan of the auto tune music, and there are a lot of TV's, but the staff is generally very nice. I can come here after a hike in Frick Park. How is this a bad plan?It's not a dive. Dives are supposed to be adorably scary. I'd take my mother in law here for lunch.The staff seems to have changed over a few times throughout the pandemic, but that's not really surprising. I think the current staff care more than previous crews, so that's good.

Good neighborhood bar with large beer selection and good pub food. Half price appetizers for happy hour! Only downside is that the acoustic are always bad.

Delicious ?It was my first time ever having their food. Seen it on Uber eats and gave it a shot. Now I want to go in person and check out the rest of the menu. My burger and fresh cut fries were so good ? also ordered my kids grilled cheese, they were happy lol
