The High Dive Bar & Lounge

A no-frills dive bar on West 18th Street in Merced with pool tables and a jukebox, replacing an earlier listing for this slot that closed under its previous name; confirmed as a real, currently operating dive bar. Its unpretentious, no-frills character gives Merced's nightlife scene real range, from this straightforward dive bar experience to the more upscale cocktail bars downtown.
