Today is National Dive Bar Day. Seagram’s Seven Crown founded the holiday to honor all the dive bars around the country and to recognize them as an American past time that will never die. Regular patrons frequent these holes-in-the-wall to throw back a few cold drinks, watch their favorite teams play on the TV, and to celebrate with friends and family. National Dive Bar Day was established in hopes to preserve the places with lasting personality, who take care of their own.  

Let’s raise a toast to the bars and pubs that make us feel at home. What better way to show our appreciation than with music? For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention bars or clubs?
