Find the bars with character. Dive Bar Finder helps you find dive, punk, goth, rock, metal and alternative bars nearby or in a city you're visiting. Look through venue photos, ratings and opening hours, then get directions with Apple Maps or Google Maps. Choose the kinds of places you like and adjust search strictness to narrow the results. Venue information comes from Google Places and community contributions, so check opening times and entry rules with the venue before setting out. Free access lets you search and browse a limited selection of results. Premium adds expanded results, favourites, filters, a synchronised collection and achievements. Sign in with Apple to back up your collection and contribute venue approvals or reports. Record a visit when you're at a venue. Check-ins use your current location to verify proximity. You don't need to buy or drink anything to record a visit. You can explore fictional examples in Settings under Preview a collection. Premium is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-off lifetime purchase. Prices and any eligible trial are shown before you confirm with Apple. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled through your Apple Account settings. Restore Purchases is available in the app's Settings.
