THIS IS “DIVE”

BARS - We have two bars that lean on the divey side. One in Albany at 250 Lark Street. One in Saratoga Springs at 489 Broadway. They are called PINT SIZED. We pride ourselves on authenticity, quick service and our massive selection. Our selection is the biggest and best it has ever been now with a full liquor license. While craft beer will always be a staple and we will continue to have the sickest beer list in downtown Albany and Saratoga Springs, we now offer well over 100 options with the addition of cocktails, shots, THC beverages, low calorie / budget items and more non alcoholic options than ever before.

SHOWS - We also exist as DIVE PRESENTS a curatorial effort that brings cool events to the Capital Region. Our vibe leans psychedelic and loud. We also love booking international acts from all over the globe when we can. We got our start with a music venue we founded called No Fun and continue to present shows in that space. We are also now booking dope shows at Lark Hall and The Hangar On The Hudson. Outside performing arts institutions and municipalities can reach out to diveupstate@gmail.com for potential collaboration.

ZINE - We also have plans to put out a print piece called DIVE GUIDE starting this fall in an effort to get people off of their couch and explore all the cool stuff happening in our region. This intro is the most we have wrote this year probably. Expect the zine to be the opposite primarily being photos, quotes and curated concert listings. Don’t send us information about your events we will find that on our own.
