Nestled in the Baybrook Shopping Center, just across the street from the beach, Dive recently expanded into space formerly occupied by Rita’s Italian Ice & Frozen Custard.

The 553-square-foot expansion includes more seating and bathroom space.

The bar and restaurant specializes in craft beer, burgers, wings, fondue, lobster rolls and fried pickles.
