Crappy décor in a dive is requisite. Often it’s just a few tin beer signs or a wooden placard with a cliché about how the bartender is always right. But some dives go the extra mile: a boar’s head adorned with underwear, a “Fuck Yelp” bumper sticker. Add a killer beer and whiskey list, great burgers and Old Bay Tater Tots, and you’ve got the Quarry House Tavern.
