GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Diva’s Bar has been through several incarnations beginning as a very incongruous gay cantina out in Colonia Buenos Aires before moving to its present location and series of owners in East Old Town. It’s a very comfortable bar painted in dark, sensual colors, with subdued lighting perfect for a casual or intimate meeting of hearts or minds. The customers are both resident and tourist, Mexican and gringo, gay and straight. The decor is dark and romantic with large photos of famous divas, from Ava Gardner to Marlon Brando, on each wall. Be sure to check the daily specials written on the white board outside of the door. The air conditioning is a definite plus in the warmer months. Because of its out-of-the-way location it has to be classified as a “neighborhood” bar, but it’s much more than that.
