"With its pool tables and red leather booths, Tiny’s Hi-Dive feels like the kind of classic watering hole where every other patron is a regular. It might not be the hottest scene in town, but you come to this Chicago-inspired dive on Sawtelle to savor timeless pleasures like cold draft beers, slushy cocktails, and big baskets of fries, set in a space roomy enough for groups. Also, the bar has an entire mule menu featuring a tasty whiskey mule concoction that’s $6 during happy hour." - brant cox, nikko duren
"The Chicago dog at Tiny's is the Westside equivalent of the one at Walt's: a perfectly servicable hot dog that becomes magical when eaten in the context of a very fun dive bar. But even if it's just the frozen Irish coffee (or Malört shot our friend dared us to try) talking, we still think paying $6 for a pickle-crowned Vienna Beef snack in this part of town is absolute bliss—even if it means putting up with Cubs fans for a bit." - garrett snyder, sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park, andrew ryce
"If you prefer sports bars that feel more like dive bars—specifically dive bars in Chicago—Tiny's Hi-Dive will speak to your Malört-shooting heart. What this West LA spot lacks in giant HDTVs, it makes up for with a fun energetic crowd, great cocktails that are also well-priced, and some of our favorite drinking foods in existence (the $6 Chicago dog is perfect). There's a sign out front that declares they show every game for Chicago teams, but there's plenty of love for LA here, too—maybe just don't a rival team jersey if you to watch Da Bears." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"Chicago transplants and fans of the show The Bear will feel right at home in this dive by the owners of Santa Monica’s Craftsman Bar & Kitchen. Congregate with other Chicago Bear die-hards while tucking into cheesesteaks and washing them down with martinis. The bar, which took over the old Arsenal space on Pico Boulevard in West LA, leans into its divey vibes with kitschy decor, year-round Christmas lights, and, of course, a jukebox. Pro tip: The Italian beef sandwich is one of the best ones in LA." - Matthew Kang
"Offering Philly cheesesteaks for the Super Bowl with a watch party starting at 3:30 p.m." - Rebecca Roland
