Oh Dilly Dally, I'm so thankful you are only a few blocks from my home. Cheap drinks abound! So when you go to the DD, be sure to hit the fishtank specials (I'll leave that mystery for you to figure out), play a little shuffleboard or darts, and of course, check out their great jukebox. It's even been updated since 2003 (a rarity for sure at many local dive bars around here).
But like every rose has its thorn, every dive bar visitor must be warned.... the ceiling is a little scary looking (brown/white with a few tiles bubbling), I always find myself thinking "I-hope-I'm-not-inhaling-asbestos-and-standing-beneath-it-when-it-comes-crashing-down" (my advice: avoid the DD when it's raining, who knows if the ceiling will hold up!). The ladies room, well girls... don't break the seal if you can avoid it (or run next door to Zipp's if you can't). The bar stools and tables may have seen better days, I ran my hand across the bar stool to find a nail had worn through and luckily averted a nail-in-my-a$$ crisis, but I'm sure some poor schmuck somewhere is nursing his wound and wondering what the heck happened.
Ah the joys of the dive bars! Live a little, take some risks! The Dilly is a great place to drink cheaply, relax and have fun. We've met some cool people there for sure and I definitely plan on continuing to frequent the place...well, frequently. =)
