The Top Dive Bars In The East Village

Name: Sophie's Where: 507 East 5th Street between Avenue A & Avenue B Sophie's is a dive bar staying true to it's roots in the East Village; it holds up the criteria, the lighting is dim and you won't trust sitting on any of the furniture. A pool table and jukebox out the back make this a dive bar classic and Jeff Bridges has also been known to have a drink or two here. [Photo via]
