South Philly dive bar The Dive (yup) is in trouble with Licenses & Inspections. A bar patron on Phillyblog reports:
It was a pissed off neighbor, called L & I and got him shut down for some faulty wiring and some code issues with the 2nd and 3rd floor, he was able to open back up just the 1st floor by building a wall to cover the stairs to the 2nd and 3rd floors, those two floors will be closed probably for about 2 months while they get the wiring and everything up to date. The neighbor apparently complained that the patrons wasted parking spots, (most of the customers there either walk or ride bikes) and that they were loud and causing problems outside the bar… which I think was VERY rare at that bar. In any case, the bar is open again.
So if you’re down by Passyunk Avenue and feel the need for cheap drinks and Adult Swim, please be good.
