NYC's Best Dive Bars

[KirillWasHere] Gun Bar, 55 Gansevoort St For those who want the dive bar feel without all the authenticity, head to the doused-in-Axe-Body-Spray heart of the Meatpacking District. The neatly faux graffitti walls evoke a certain polished level of badass-ness and the joint pulls a good looking crowd. They also play music that will make you want to dance your face off. No dirty stalls here; the bathroom is posh. And if you are feeling adventurous, or drunk enough to make a huge mistake, there's a tattooo artist on site.
