Man Creates Mapping Tool To Help Locals Find Boston’s Best Dive Bars

If you’re looking for a place “where everyone knows your name”, a new mapping tool could help you find it. A lot of swanky bars and restaurants with plush lounges and expensive cocktails have opened around Boston. One local man prefers a reasonably priced draft and some home style cooking. He’s on a quest to make sure dive bars don’t get squeezed out of the area. Nick Roy created www.bostondives.com which is a free mapping tool. It will tell you where the closest dive bar is based on where you are at that moment. “I think there’s still places to be found and that was kind of what I wanted to highlight on the map,” Roy said. “It wasn’t the, here’s the cool foodie dish, but here’s the local places that are still hanging on and places we need to support.”
