Avenue C

This is not a div bar in fact the owner has put a lot of money into this converted car repair shop. My one star rating is based on the place being empty on a Friday night and the serves being really bad.

This place just annoyed me from the get-go. To begin with it's nestled in the perfect spot to blow past it trying to get to there and resulting in making a few illegal turns to try and get back. I got in and it was karaoke night which seemed cool enough but they don't take cards so hopefully you carry cash or get raped by the off-brand ATM inside.  Once I finally get my drink I get handed a Soco sour in a little plastic cup, what am I 16 and sneaking into a party? Maybe it was an off night for them but I'd think twice about popping in again

The quietest bar in Malden on a weekend, but I'd hardly call it a dive. They're still trying to find their niche. No idea what it might be, but I think they have a few nights with drink specials every week. I wouldn't give up on this place quite yet..but there are certainly better options nearby.
