DEATH BY DIVE BAR!
This is Death by Dive Bar.
Dive bars are the private clubs of the working class, the proletariat seeking comfort, and writers seeking cheap whiskey because this country DOESN’T VALUE ITS LITERARY MASTERS!
Whiskey has always been associated with literature and writers. You can download our collection of great writers and the whiskies they preferred.
Death by Dive Bar is a growing collection of love letters from brilliant writers to their favorite dive bar. We seek out working writers who love whiskey, send them to their favorite cheap-ass watering hole, then instruct them to get drunk and write.
Dive bars are one of the canonical features that make up the worn-out, dead-tired, up-all-night beating heart of America.
We know the people who love whiskey, bourbon, and rye also love Faulkner, Parker, and Percy. Our site has a literary kink, and we sometimes write it while shoved up against the rail in a place that opens every morning at nine.
Articles are sponsored by the brands we partner with because, UNLIKE THE REST OF AMERICA, we think writers ought to be paid and paid well.
