Classic dive bar serving stellar burgers, draft beer, and cocktails
"The Bronx Bar used to be ruled by longtime bartender Charleen Dexter, known as the Queen of the Bronx. These days, it draws a mix of college students, neighborhood denizens, and anyone else who might wander in for a drink. The burgers are still top-notch, and like any proper dive, guests can find cheap beers, no-frill cocktails, a pool table, and a jukebox. If you drop by, don’t forget to pour one out for the Queen." - Courtney Burk
"The Bronx Bar teeters on the brink of respectability these days, as the Midtown transformations creep into this traditional dive. Once the domain of longtime bartender Charleen, Queen of the Bronx, and her subjects (RIP Charleen, long live the Queen), the Bronx now hosts an eclectic mix of college kids, aging hipsters, and locals of all stripes. The burgers remain stellar." - Mickey Lyons
"The Bronx’s doors have been open since the mid-1930s, first serving as a hub for factory employees and sex workers before evolving into a dive bar for the history books. Bartender Charleen Dexter retired from 42 years behind the bar a few years ago, but the chicken sandwiches and burgers continue to impress. Leave your mark on WSU’s campus with a visit to the Bronx and pour one out for Charleen." - Amelia Benavides-Colón
"The traditional dive in Cass Corridor serves up stellar burgers, along with the rest of its menu on Mondays from 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. Stop in late for an eclectic mix of regulars, locals, and those that are not. The Bronx is known for its no-frills beers, well cocktails, pool table, and jukebox." - Courtney Burk
