America's Best Dive Bar, South Boston

youtube travel videos http://www.overlander.tv

South Boston has traditionally been the part of Boston where Irish Immigrants settled. It is now going through quite a gentrification process as new condominiums are forcing up prices in what in the past has been a rough part of town.

Irish gangsters such as James "Whitey" Bulger, who was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, use to call 'Southie' home and Irish influence can still be found in some of the local bars.

The best bar I found was Croke Park/Whitey's where everyone is welcome, drinks are cheap, pool is free and the jukebox plays some kicking tunes. https://www.facebook.com/crokeparkpub...

Named for its former owner Whitey McGrail, who was gunned down in the pub in 1985.

After visiting many dive bars all round the USA ( and believe me I had a list) from Key's West to Chicago, I crown Croke Park/Whitey's the BEST DIVE BAR in the USA. And as an Aussie, my decision is infallible!

So what makes a good Dive Bar:

No Pretension! - Open to anyone regardless of colour, creed, sex or fashion!

Normal Drink Prices - None of this fancy ass ridiculous prices for a drink.

Not a Tourist Bar - A good dive bar is a neighbourhood hub, not a photo opportunity for some tourist!

No Pokies - I'm sure Hell sounds like a pokie pub!
