Diamond Lounge

So, this was the last stop on a random dive bar adventure that my friend and I went on recently in Grand Forks. The bartenders were efficient enough, they had a live band playing, but it seemed like everyone knew everyone. It was a bit of an older crowd & my friend and I seemed a bit out of place... normally in bars like this everyone is just kind of whatever, but this place I kinda get the feeling you need to be a regular to feel at home. Bathrooms are actually decent. Not bad to roll through for a drink, but I think I prefer some of the other dives we hit to this one.

My sister who lives in Grand Forks North Dakota is an regular here and took me to this bar several times while I was visiting.  I really enjoyed the bar.  Friendly bartenders and a nice crowd.  They were very accommodating too.  I really wanted a cosmopolitan in a martini glass (which they don't have on hand), and the manager ran down into the basement and pulled out a martini glass just for me.  Next time I'm in Grand Forks, I'm definitely hitting up this bar again!!
