"No list of best bars is complete without a good dive bar, and Rocketbar in Chinatown is our favorite for a few reasons. The basement bar is open daily, with a Happy Hour that runs from 4-8pm (longer on game days since it’s right across from Capital One Arena), which makes the already affordable bar even cheaper. Play pool, darts, or skeeball as you toss back rail drinks and draft beers. When it’s busy, which is often, you’ll barely be able to hear your friends standing next to you over the yelling and the music, so expect to spend more time clinking glasses and motioning with your pool stick than having actual conversations." - tristiana hinton
