Best Dive Bar

On the ground floor of the King Edward Hotel, Eddy is a must-swill for history buffs, and those looking for dive ambiance in its purest form. The Skid Row-adjacent drinking den is the oldest bar in downtown (well over 120 years), known for its colorful past as much as the current stable of characters who wander in daily. Literary figures and crime bosses alike were regulars. These days you'll find toothless trash-talkers, red-faced beer-lovers in baseball caps, curiously dressed cougars looking for conversation (and more), Westsiders roughing it for the night and artsy locals soaking in the vibe for inspiration -- and soaking up the cheap buzz ($3 vodka cranberry!). You never know what you might find inside this bizarre and wonderful, frequently wacky, watering hole, but we can almost guarantee you'll leave with a story as well as a hangover. -Lina Lecaro
