Living in the liquid realm, mermaids have a penchant for 'the drink.' Today we feature a few of the intrepid souls who have left the sea to offer libations to landlubbers.

Step off the streets of Sacramento and into the tranquil ambiance of Dive Bar. In direct contrast to its name, Dive Bar is a haven of cool and class in the middle of one of the nation's most eclectic cities. Dive Bar's approachability and charm are dedicated to vintage good times. The huge aquarium above the bar has a beautiful live mermaid or merman making an occasional appearance.
The typical dive bar motif conjures certain images: no frills, approachable, slightly dangerous, and a leftover relic from another era. Sacramento's version has refurbished brick walls, dark wood and upholstery, like a cool hangout joint from a different era but with new accoutrements.
