National Dive Bar Day is observed in the United States every year on July 7. This holiday celebrates dive bars, which are typically small, old-style establishments known for serving inexpensive drinks in a non-glamorous setting. The term "dive bar" originated in the 1880s to describe disreputable establishments often located in basements. While once considered derogatory, the term has evolved into a badge of honor for bars that pride themselves on authenticity. Celebrants are encouraged to visit their favorite dive bars, enjoy a drink, and share their experiences on social media using the hashtag #NationalDiveBarDay. The holiday was created by Seagram's Seven Crown to highlight the significance of dive bars as an American pastime and to help preserve their unique character.
