As the three stars signify, you're A-OK, Sunshine Bar. You definitely have your virtues: cozy and mellow space, friendly crowds of regulars, and an awesome juke-box blaring classic hits. The bartenders are no-nonsense, but sweet, and your cheap libations encourage guests to keep ordering another round.
Before entering this very confined space, let me warn you about the smoke because  I'm pretty sure I've never wafted through a heavier cloud in my life. It's stagnant and thick. I can usually handle bar smoke fairly well, but I kept finding myself using my hand or shirt for ventilation. Kind of a bummer.
Besides having to immediately throw all of my clothes onto my balcony and shower upon reaching home, I enjoyed my time spent at Sunshine! It seemed like everyone in there knew one another, but there wasn't a cliquey vibe at all. You'd probably be accepted into any faction, if you're nice!
PS: Sunshine Bar's "Ruby Red" Â tastes just like a grapefruit. Citrus-y, bright, and strong!
I love a good dive bar and If you are wanting cheap drinks this is the place. The bartender, Killer, needs to learn a lot about customer service. Donna is a sweetheart. In the afternoon it is the same blue collar crowd. Night is full of young adults and a lot of police in the parking lot.
Review Source:This is what a bar should be... Â I love the Shine...
People from all walks of life, sitting around and shooting the shit.
Come in - sit by yourself, or jump into a conversation...
There are times it's shoulder to shoulder, with college kids, retirees, and mid-lifers all in their own little cliques... Â seen some mc clubs, the leather crowd, the pierced and tatted up crowd...
I love them all... Â and I see them all... Â Join my for a drink at the Shine!
The first and last time I was here was during the Rangers play-off game. My friend brought me here, and forewarned me that this was not my "type" of place. So when she said that, I lowered my expectations . We parked our cars, but I didn't know where the entrance was. My friend has been there before, so she showed me the way. We walked in, and the smell of cigarettes just slapped me in the face. There are old tables and chairs around. The people that were there were all sitting at the bar. We opted for a table to watch the Ranger game. The TV was old, and the picture wasn't good. They blared the music up so loud, and I could barely enjoy the game. Such a dive bar. The only reason why people come here is for their cheap drinks. $2 you call it (but I forgot what night of the weeks they do it). The cigarette smoke was just so overwhelming that I left at the bottom of the 7th. I won't be returning.My friends have been back several times without inviting me. Haha.
Review Source:Oh, shine. Â I remember the first time I heard about this place. Â I had just turned twenty-one and all prior drinking experience had been at big chain restaurants where they didn't ID. Â Right off the bat, I was told that there were more puke stains than I could shake a stick at. Â I was afraid. Â I was disgusted. Â I was intrigued.
That said, I love Sunshine. Â Cheap drinks, good salt of the earth people, awesome jukebox. Â You can come here in your PJs. Â There's no one to impress. Â There is absolutely no one taking fashion tips from Jersey Shore. Â The bartenders are awesome and friendly and there's always a different deal going on every night. Â Sports on the TVs if you're into that. Â Stained pool tables. Â Friendly customers (usually). Â Sunshine taught me the beauty of a dive bar. Â
If there's too few skinny jeans for you, head to Caves across the way.
If there was a Mexican trash bar for white people, this would be it. Â Sunshine gets a 5 from me because it's not afraid to be true dive bar. Â It is small, dank, rank and filled with people from many walks.
I've never had problems visiting here and one thing is for sure, its not a place you will ever have to worry about seeing pop-color douches. Â Sunshine is an experience you will not forget. Â The drinks are cheap. Â Atmosphere is packed and loud. Â Televisions play random crap and.....the bar is freaking recessed into the floor. Â Not to mention the ceiling is like 8 foot high in most spots.
Whoa, this place scared the crap out me. Its this little yellow building with no windows. You walk into a dark, smoky room filled with people with prison tattoos. The guy I sat next to had a 5 inch knife in his back pocket. At one point someone yelled, "hey, there 'bout to be a knife fight up in here." I heard the "C" word a lot in here.
They do a 2 dollar beer of the month. We took a seat at a worn little table with chairs that looked to be about 30 years old. Someone will come and take your order at the stand alone tables. There's a new punching bag machine and an old jukebox that doesn't take dollar bills. The bathroom is behind a giant draped American flag.
I'm not kidding, this place was shady as balls. But...I think I'll be back anyways. It made me feel like I am living on the edge. I recommend stopping in. I don't recommend hosting a ladies night out here.
This place is a real ****hole....if you like dive bars, you'll love it.  If you don't, you'll hate it.  Simple as that.  period.  Have been coming here for awhile due to being conveniently located on my daily commute.  What's not to love about 1) comfy, well worn office chairs at the bar (that probably did a stint in somebody's front yard), 2) a dark room that has a permanent smoky haze, and 3) $1 draft PBR on most days?  Mixed crowd of 20-50 somethings, and people from the homeless shelter nearby.  This is my kind of  ****hole to unwind in after work  :-)
TIP: ask for jukebox money-
This is probably the nastiest of the dive bars on Division Street. Â I'm not sure how old the place is, but the furniture is definitely original. Â Tattered office chairs on wheels that swivel and tables that lean, like the old Casa Magnetica at 6 Flags. Â No windows either, so it's like being in a basement crack den. Â The bar is a horseshoe shape and you kinda look down into the pit of it to order a drink. Â The pool tables are broken a lot so you can play free pool and the jukebox isn't bad. Â The waitress is always nice and the people watching is FANTASTIC. Â Sunshine Bar shares a parking lot with Caves Lounge, so lots of people go back and forth. Â It's a good place to grab a drink on your way to shoot up smack at the super scary hotel next door. Â Don't share needles!!
Review Source:Proud to be the first to write a review of this place. Â It's the bar I hang out in when I'm at home in TX. Â This place is a shithole don't get me wrong. Â It's the dive bar of all dive bars, but it's got character. Â Fuck it has a hand painted picture of E.T. on the wall that I've tried to steal several times. Â It has FREE foosball and 2 pool tables. Â I can't believe they fit all the shit they have in this place into such a tiny shithole. Â The jukebox is awesome. Â I know all the bartenders by first name and they're all cool. Â They have all kinds of free snacks such as cheeseballs, popcorn, pretzels, peanuts and the like. Â They also have darts, but as we all know only date rapists play darts. Â There are bathrooms amazingly, although watch out for the big hole kicked in the door of the men's room and don't even think about locking the bathroom door or taking a shit in this place. Â All in all a good place to spend your vacation back in your home town.
