MUST VISIT: These 3 PA Dive Bars Have the Best Food In America

Who says dive bars are just for cheap drinks and a good 'ole time?

All over America, unassuming bars are becoming hot spots for surprising, mouth-watering meals that are local game-changers.

In a recent survey of 3,000 bar regulars by Geek Nexus, dive bars across the United States are being discovered as a hidden "culinary revolution" unfolds.

You'll want to take a look at these spots and may want to switch up where you hang on, or remember the dive bars you want to seek out while traveling in the future.

Forget about just the beer company neon signs and old, creaky bar stools; some dive bars are now offering food that’s as bold and unique as their charm.

This new food trend has even earned a catchy name. It's being referred to as Grunge Gourmet. I like it.

It’s all about unpretentious and delicious dishes that leave customers coming back for more.

While some bar-goers want to keep their favorite spots a secret, these bars are becoming culinary destinations for people from all over.
