Seems more like the question is what experience do you prefer, one that’s sleek and polished but lacking in substance, or one that’s raw but down-to-earth?

It’s no one’s job here to sell you on dive bar culture if that’s not your thing. It’s not for everyone, and that’s completely fine. But your comment assumes that the place must be a total dump, which is strange considering you haven’t been there before.

Read my post here and see if that helps explain why this place and others like it are so popular.

Not sure where you’re from, but in the US, a dive bar is a bar, usually located below street level, that you can dive into for a quick drink on your way home. They were given a bad name in the press (surprise!) as low-class places with a reputation for debauchery. They’re also places where people can take a break from their daily grind, and enjoy a laid-back conversation with like-minded individuals.

Bars and taverns have a storied history of being the places where revolutions start, both culturally and politically. Think about the American Revolution, the revolt against Prohibition (what’s a speakeasy other than a secret dive bar?), anti-war protests, civil rights, punk rock, etc.

A dive bar is exactly the kind of place to mingle with people from all social classes to talk freely about bitcoin.
