DIVEUX MAXIMUS. Yeah, this is a dive and a half.
I had heard good things about this place and I was thinking of giving it a try, so I went to meet a friend here for a drink and there are two things you must remember:
One? Again... yup, this is A dive. Two? Once you are there you will certainly catch the irony in the name. As this place is as narrow as a the world perspective of a fundamental Baptist.
Beer is generally cheap, lots of graffiti line the walls, a number of tv's above the bar playing sports but there is not a lot of seating. On that last note, this locale is just so-so and not much different than a place like Sneaky Dee's... except for the lack of space.
Yet... could I see this place getting packed? Totally.
It has that run down, should-make-you-question-the-hygiene-of-the-joint... Mmm... or that je ne sais quoi that acts like catnip to cats that hipters simply can't say no to.
All in all, not a bad place to drop by from time to time if you are meeting a few friends. Just not too many.
