The Dive!

[fatlazyless]

Walking or driving down along the Weirs boardwalk in the vicinity of the Mount Washington cruise ship, The Dive there is basically invisible. It cannot be seen as it is docked behind the large Pier structure so it's best visibility is most definitely on the Weirs Cam?

And apparently, there's no incoming drive-up business with drive-up boaters or waders/swimmers/floaters boarding from the water there similar to the West Alton sand bar so how good a business location will it turn out to be?

Maybe boaters could drop anchor and float on into The Dive on a yellow foam noodle ..... the crocodile way to go ..... and here's an old crocodile joke .... ok ..... a crocodile walks into a bar and is about to order a drink ..... the bartender looks up ..... and quickly asks ..... 'so, why the long face today?' ....

Has it made any sand bar cruising trips, lately?

I heard, from, what should be a pretty reliable source for this info...That Anthony's will be closing. This, probably the last season. I've heard from many sources that Flightcraft will be doing a major reno of the old Winni gardens building.

I think mayhaps, The Dive know this and is setting up to take the business during the reno and after Anthony's closes...Who knows.

As the #1 best, award winning restaurant, welcoming entry sign ..... ever, ever made ..... in the world history of restaurant entry signs ..... this sign:

This is a restaurant
Not a rest area

hung from the ceiling, just inside the entry door at Anthony's on The Pier has got to be my fave sign ever for a restaurant ...... and hopefully it will somehow get preserved as a friendly relic, or something ...... good for a laugh ..... ha-ha-ha ... !

Makes me think of Mel from Mel's Dinner on the 1980's Alice tv show.

Gary, posted elsewhere, I believe, the original plans for Flightcraft were to do major rehab to the structure. After all, it is about 70 years old, the underpinnings could be older.

Not as old as mine. 🐻

Great place to hang-out. Buy one beer/one cup of coffee and spend the day on the internet. Difference is that Anthony's has a better view than any Starbucks I've ever seen.

I never say Anthony's and Flightcraft so cozy! There's more to this, me thinks!

When the Dive started last year and patrons commented on their prices being high, the Dive ownership stated "because we are on the water, stocking supplies, driving to other locations, its more expensive to operate" I was told this by ownership on my one and only visit. So... since the Dive now has a permanent home connected to land, does that mean the prices will go down to reflect that its not as expensive to operate?

Spent quite a bit of time on the Dive during Bike Week... I haven't been to the Dive at sandbar, so I cannot comment on their pricing. I can say that while docked I did not find their prices to be high. I think I paid $4.50 for a Bud Light can. I did have the Mediterranean Plate (Delicious!) and I think that was $11-$12 bucks or so.... all while watching the world go by on the lake!

Certainly they are no more expensive than the Naswa!

Last year the Dive pina colada was $14.00 a plastic cup and I have had much better pina colada's elsewhere. Town Dox has $14.00 signature drinks IN A BUCKET and they are much better drinks. The Town Docks also had similar size cocktails for $10.00. The NASWA had better drinks in the same size cup for $10.00. So do I think they are expensive? Yes, I'm all set thank you.

I doubt it as now they have to rent space from Flightcraft and i'm sure that is not cheap... Whatever price they are charging does not seem to bother most patrons as they seem to be packed most of the time!

My post was tongue in cheek/rhetorical. I know they are not going to reduce prices. Just pointing out their ridiculous response.
