The High Dive

"Some casual neighborhood bars can be touchy about being labeled a “dive bar,” no matter how lovingly the label is given. The High Dive has no such qualms, though frankly it’s nowhere near the top of the dive-y meter. This unpretentious neighborhood bar is home to a loyal set of regulars and some of the best sunset views in the city. The High Dive doesn’t specialize in fussy drinks with infusions and house tinctures, but the bartenders here are no slouches, and will deliver a solid cocktail as well as a respectable rotation of microbrews and wines. Expect the High Dive to be lively, with sound-on Blazers games during basketball season and Monday open mic comedy nights. Food from the adjacent Cartopia carts is more than welcome." - Nathan Williams
