"Immortalized in the writings of Charles Bukowski, the dive bar is a cherished institution among destitute drunkards, ne’er-do-well artists, and slumming hipsters. Almost every American town has at least one dive bar (usually detested by local leaders), characterized by a genuinely aged appearance, cheap drinks, and shabby seats imprinted by the derrieres of countless dipsomaniacs. Budapest definitely has an abundance of unpretentious pubs that could qualify as dive bars – complete with sleazy clientele – but these tattered taverns are perversely appealing for their plentitude of personality."
