An Embarcadero staple for the pre- or post-Giants game crowd, The Hi Dive does not mince words with its exacting title: This is a dive bar through and through. Situated almost beneath the Bay Bridge, a linoleum bar counter and primary colored banquettes lend the bar a hometown atmosphere, and strong drinks keep regulars coming back.
