Live in a Dive is a live album by Californian punk rock band $wingin' Utter$. It is the sixth in the Live in a Dive series.

• The album features songs from all the band's albums, and many of the E.P.s, up to the newly-released Dead Flowers, Bottles, Bluegrass, and Bones. The set is notable its length (over one hour), the band's use of "acoustical instruments" including accordion on several songs, and Spike Slawson's bizarre story of an encounter with a drunk naked trucker in a Portage, Indiana motel while on tour.

• The cover booklet also features a comic strip story by Joel Loya, involving the Swingin' Utters meeting the ghosts of Joe Strummer, Joey Ramone, Darby Crash and Sid Vicious.
