I found this sentence in the explanation about a restaurant. "It's divey but popular." Though I checked several dictionaries trying to figure out the meaning of the word "divey", I couldn't find such a word. Or is it a misprint?
The writer has put -y onto the end of dive to make an adjective. Merriam-Webster gives as a definition of dive: 2: a shabby and disreputable establishment (as a bar or nightclub). You often here, at least in my neck of the woods, "It's a bit of a dive." Maybe we've just got a lot of disreputable establishments around here!
