Lower Manhattanites seeking a true dive bar experience have one less place to hang out now that Dakota Roadhouse has closed for good.

This is a loss for the after work crowd who came for the happy hour specials – a bucket of Bud was only $13 on Thursday nights – and pub grub like wings and Dakota’s signature “cheeseburger fries,” deep-fried Angus beef stuffed with cheese and potatoes.
