On this list: the bar where Anita Lo learned to play darts, Nick Anderer's favorite place for cold beer and shrimp cocktail, and many more.

Chefs, more often than not, know a thing or two about dive bars. They work hard, get off late, and when they want to unwind, those late night dives are sometimes the only option. Plus, there's cheap beer, and maybe even a pool table. With that in mind, Eater asked 13 of New York City's best chefs to name their favorite dive bar. There are dives of all shapes and sizes on this list, from old-school Irish pubs to dark and dirty punk bars, but all of them are chef-approved.
