I wonder if anyone will admit to pork rinds. Yuck!
1I love dive bars! Some of the greatest nights happen there--who need the pretension of $11 cocktails--when you can get a strong jack and diet for $3.50?
2I really like seasoned waffle fries if they have them.
3We have a few that we will go to occasionally but I really stay away from any foods that are just sitting out in bowls with all those other greasy dirty fingers in them. If it's a good dive bar they don't have a kitchen
4Nothing like diving into the snack mix at Traxx.
5Hailing from the midwest my first choice is cheese curds!
6Nothing makes me happy like dive bars where they provide you with peanuts and you can just toss the shells on the floor. Delicious.
7Snacks are for babies. Beer, served with beer, with a side of beer, thank you.
8I love the snack mix with the spicy dried peas...yumm! Just had some last night !
9There is a bar in Wisconsin that serves deep-fried cheeseburgers. I kid you not. I did not have one, though my friend did, and declared it delicious.
10Shoneyjoe took the words right out of my mouth

12Oh, I frequent the hell out of some dive bars near me. None of them serve any of the above crap tho. They just serve regular bar food, of which I guess I would say quesadillas are my favorite.
13I've never seen pork rinds at a bar and would eat them if did. I don't like nuts much so prefer the snack mix. A dive bar I used to live near had a big jar of pickles on the counter, those were awesome. Beer and pickle. yumm
14Chicken strips n' fries!
15where is the bar of the picture??? looks familiar....
16I'll always drunkenly dive into nut mixes, especially almonds.
17Love the smoked almonds and the honey peanuts
18Mozarella sticks! Mmmm.
19i like the nut mix - not necessarily peanuts only but the mixed cashews and the sort. i don't know how i really feel about the bowl on the bar though - you just don't know where everyone's hands have been prior to my reaching in
20None of the bars I've ever been to ever serve snacks. Some sell typical bar food though.
21The dive bar by my house serves very good wings. My runner-up choice would be peanuts in the shell.
22Wasabi Peanuts, can't stop once I get started on them.
23Pork rinds are always a bar staple here in the Philippines. They're called chicharon here, and there are different kinds. I love it, but of course I only eat it once in a while.
24I have had homemade beef jerky at a bar before
25tots! or fries!
26Something fried from the kitchen
27I live pickled eggs and pork hocks.
