I remember going their with the Larivee guitar crew for cheap bears about 5 years or more ago. I wonder if they've classed the place up some?

We can get you hooked up. Some of those places you definitely want to roll with a posse, but it's fun sitting with April and her friends and some dude comes up and pulls some wrapped steaks out of his pants and says "five bucks?".

Not because I overly like them, but for the fact that they are never busy, always have the coldest beer and you can just relax and shoot the shit, as well as listen to the good ole classics from the 80's Those are my fav places around here, the dive bars.

You also dont feel too young or too old because generally you have the young and old all hanging out having a drink.

Some of my favorites in MA - Ralphs, Vincent's (best meatballs aside from my moms!) and some nights we would just end up at The Dive Bar itself. The funny thing about dive bars back east is they are not as seedy as people might think they are here. They are just laid back, unpretentious, and most have really good food. That's the thing about Boston, you can never judge a place by the outside. The hole in the walls are the little gems in the city. Mwah! I never really thought about the lack of dive bars here or diners! http://www.flickr.com/photos/ethomsen/1752882636/ until I read your post. For people on the North Shore, we go to Queen's Cross Pub off Lonsdale. Yes, they have yam fries :) but it is very laid back and they have damn good nachos. And I am not just saying that b/c my friend, Chris owns it. Cheers! Dive Bars rule.

OMG, I don't think I've been there for over 12 years!!! :lol: I've been there twice, both times brought by old coworkers who are avid Surrey-ites.

And Keith - yeah, they have that omelette chef dude at the Station, he's awesome. Although that's the place where I once ordered coffee and the waitress said, "Bud? Okay" and brought me beer. No joke. I’d toss in the Whaler too but that’s not there anymore. And Keith – yeah, they have that omelette chef dude at the Station, he’s awesome.

Another favourite is the Station in Guildford (wicked Sunday morning omelette buffet!) where I've spent many an evening meeting up with friends (and clients from time to time...)
