Dirty Dive is a gem. Super easy to get to & there's plenty of parking, which already makes the night smooth before you even walk in. The security team was outstanding thorough, professional, respectful, & very easy to talk to. Real solid guys.
The DJs absolutely delivered & created an amazing set for my brother's birthday. The vibe in the room was on point all night. Seeing my brother on the mic as the MC made me proud, & the crowd was fully into it. Great energy, great people, & a fun atmosphere all around.
You could tell the crowd takes pride in being there too - everyone looked sharp & the place had a really good vibe.
I got hooked instantly & I'm already looking forward to going back. If you're anywhere near the district & want a place to have a great time & meet good people, this spot is worth it.
They've been doing this for 8 years, & clearly they know what they're doing. Respect to the team at Dirty Dive. 👏
We ended up at Dirty D in DIX30 as a backup plan when our first restaurant had a long wait… but thank God we did because it was amazing! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was on point. Our waitress, Emily, was simply wonderful, super kind, attentive, & handling a packed Friday night like a pro. The vibes & music were great too.
But the best part? The FOOD. The quesa birrias were insane , easily some of the best we've had, & the chicken ones were just as good. They also brought us four different sauces to try, which is a huge plus for us & something we haven't seen anywhere else.
The drinks were next level too. I had the spicy mango margarita & honestly, I'd go back just for that.
Can't wait for the next time we're in DIX30 because we're definitely coming back to try more! Highly recommend.

Had a girl's night out, saturday night. It was my first time at Dirty D & it was AWESOME!! The shooters were 5$🙌 the music was 🔥 the vibe was immaculate ✨ & to top it off, the staff & service was beyond amazing 🤩 In particular, Émilie P. gave us an exceptional customer service. She made our night so much better!! She is such a sweetheart 💛 I hope she sees this review because she deserves all the love ❤?
I visited the bar on several occasions & always enjoyed the service-the staff is consistently professional & friendly. However, on my last visits, I noticed that the DJ mostly played Caribbean music which made my friends & I very disappointed since we felt like the music didn't align with the Mexican/Latino theme. The few Mexican or Latino hits played were brief & far between, making the overall vibe feel inconsistent with the bar's concept.
Dirty D was an okay experience. I went there with my colleagues from work wanting a sit-down restaurant to eat. The vibes were pretty good. The place was well decorated with many colorful walls, a stacked bar, & even the washrooms had glow in the dark lights. What I was really let down by was the portion sizes given the price. My partner & I got 3 empanadas, guac, & 3 birria tacos. The tacos were delicious but were the size of a folded napkin. The empanadas were a bit smaller than that. The guac seemed to come in a sauce container compared to the hefty amount of tortilla chips next to it. Overall, it was an okay experience, & the food was delicious. I just felt like there were other places that serve food of similar/better quality given the price.

The service is fantastic. It's people who want to take care of their customers !
It was unfortunate that most items on the menu were omitted ( changing of menu apparently ) which left us with little choices .
Great vibe
