Dive bar 

A well-worn, unglamorous bar, often serving a cheap, simple selection of drinks to a regular clientele.

The term can describe anything from a comfortable-but-basic neighborhood pub to the nastiest swill-slinging hole.
You don't need to dress up; we're just going to the dive bar down the street.

Man, that place is such a dive bar... Don't go in unless you plan to burn your clothes afterwards.

I tried to take my date somewhere nice, and that's when I realized I only know dive bars.

Dive bar 

This place is going to be stinky and lame. You don't come here for the drinks, you come here to eliminate sobriety. All of the regulars there have a smoker's voice and a hard look to them. If you try to go there dressed nicely, you will get stared at and singled out. Wear shoes that you wouldn't mind squashing some roaches in.
Dude you smell like PBR, where'd you go last night?

I went to that dive bar in our town that your mom usually goes to.

When you go to a dive bar and take part in the glory hole
Tonight we’re going out and getting a hot dog at a dive bar

Dave’s Dive Bar Dick Rub

When a leathery faced older lady rubs your penis over your black jeans and buys you a coors at a dive bar
That lady just gave me the ol’ Dave’s Dive Bar Dick Rub

dive bar 

A scummy bar whose patrons are primarily on the prowl for a one night stand
I'm pretty desperate for some action bro, I think I'm gonna hit up a dive bar tonight and hope for the best.
