Holy Diver took over the space long known as Sidney's Saloon on St. Bernard Avenue, carrying forward its role as a dark, unpretentious dive bar and a home for underground and touring acts.
The room's real draw is its booking, which favors underground and touring acts that don't always find a home on the city's more polished stages. It's a genuine dive in the best sense — dark, loud, and unconcerned with anything but the music.
