This appears to be a dictionary definition. Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary gives some guidance, and one suggestion is that such definitions are merged or redirected to the nearest article on the topic. Drinking establishment seems to be the most appropriate redirect, where a definition of dive is given. One difficultly in giving a definition is that there is no formal agreement, as the term itself is slang and somewhat vague. There are no reliable sources talking directly about the concept of "dive bar", though there are sources which use the term, which does indicate that it is "slang, jargon or usage" rather than an encyclopaedic topic.
