Yes! We said free. No bar tabs or IOUS! We want to feature your place because it has more personality than most people’s relatives and we want to talk about it!

Dive Bar Society celebrates the “if you know you know”, regulars get it, slightly sticky, neon-lights, twinkle light lit places that make life better- neighborhood bars, taverns, pubs, dives, almost dives and bars that insist they are “not a dive” even though the handwritten sign on the pull tabs booth says otherwise.

We’re currently looking for local bars to feature through our subscription-based club, marketing channels and growing social media. If your place has character, loyal regulars, cold drinks, questionable bathroom art, a jukebox with emotional range and bartenders who know everyone’s names, drinks and problems, we should probably talk!

What your bar gets:

A Monthly Spotlight on your Bar! We’ll show off what makes your place worth visiting- the drinks, food, atmosphere, staff, regulars, events, history and whatever other unique, weird, famous little thing people love about it.

Social Media Exposure: You bar may be featured in Dive bar Society posts, reels, short videos, top 12 lists, photos, write-ups, podcasts and other promotional content. Basically we brag about your bar, so you don’t have to stand outside yelling at traffic or have your servers holding up signs.

Marketing that doesn’t sound like marketing with Content you can share: No stiff corporate nonsense. No “elevated beverage experience.” No stock photos of people laughing at salad. Just real content about real bars for people who actually like going to bars. You can share the feature with your followers, regulars, staff and that one guy who comments on every Facebook post like it’s his civic duty.

Swag: we create it with your sign off. We provide it and sell it to regulars. We can also source it for your bar.

Why your bar wants this…

• It drives traffic, which drives sales $$$: Introduces your bar to people who may not know they’re about to become regulars
• It creates visibility: Gives your current regulars something new to share other than blurry karaoke pics
• It creates long term presence: Highlights what is unique about your place
• New marketing you can use: Creates fresh content you don’t have to create inhouse
• Supports Local, Supports Minnesota: You Betcha!
