About Us
Who Are We?
My name is CJ Whillock (on left) and many years ago a group of friends and I began visiting Dive bars in our area because ..... as you know .. they are the best. From those travels a Facebook page grew and now this web site. We want to celebrate everything Dive Bar so we are traveling the USA visiting these hidden gems and sharing their stories with you. We hope you enjoy this "travel-blog" style format where we not only talk about the bars but also some of the things that happen along the way.
Support the Locals!
Throughout our travels, one thing has been made apparent: the local mom & pop shops we have grown to love are dying. Times are tough for all small business, but keeping these local bars operating is very important for our communities. Many of these businesses serve as a local meeting place, a place to work, restaurants, and so on and so forth. Help us help them by promoting your local dive and supporting others around the country!
How Do You Plan to Make Money?
Good question! We plan to offer the usual things: DBRT merchandise, yard sale auction items we find along the way and ALSO any donations and sponsorships we can find.
How Do Your Really Plan to Make Money?
Better question! My main business is woodcarving. I create and sell my woodcarvings and also tools and supplies to get others started. Check out www.whittlingshack.com to take a closer look and also our eBay sales page.
