A true dive bar is hard to come by these days. Usually everyone has a favorite, especially a neighborhood dive bar that’s within walking distance of your home. Since leaving college, every new place that I move, I try to immediately find my dive bar - the place I can go grab a drink with a couple friends or even by myself, and not by bothered about anything. Sure, the place might be a total shit hole, but it’s likely going to serve cheap drinks and not care if you look like total shit. In no time, you’ll be on a fist name basis with the bartenders and it’ll be like a second home.
SloshSpot posted a list of The Best, The Worst and The Dirtiest Dive Bars in the United States, highlighting a couple of potential spots for people to belly up to.
Seattle’s 5 Point Cafe makes the list, which is about right. This 24-hour “cafe” serves breakfast as long as the doors are open, and being located at the tip of Belltown, it’s a convenient after-hours eating spot for late night party-goers or as a hungover haven for those rolling out of bed in the morning (or early afternoon).

They made a good choice with the 5 Point. They have one of the best breakfasts in the city.
