I think Federal Hill is probably your best bet for what you're looking for-- maybe dipping into Olneyville. These are clustered within a half mile to a mile radius:
good cocktails/speakeasy
- Royal Bobcat
- Justines
- Courtland Club
- The Avery
- Kimi's
good food (bonus point for gluten-free menu items/accommodations)
Too many to try to list. A few that come to mind from the vibe I'm getting in this question: Slow Rhode and Lucky Enough both have good food and good cocktails. There's also Great Northern for BBQ if that's your thing. Bayberry is a beer hall with food. Pickerel is a new ramen spot with a few cocktails-- will be hard to get a table. Troop is another sort of funky cocktail and dinner type spot if you end up in Olneyville-- otherwise it may be a bit out of the way from some of the other places I'm listing.
live music (something funky?) and dancing
- Mayday (music will vary)
- Kimi's sometimes
- Dusk
(I feel like there must be better dancing options than these, though? Maybe someone else will help, or maybe you should go elsewhere if dancing is a priority!)
a dive bar with darts/jukebox
- Nolan's, maybe? Haven't been in there in forever
- Lucky Enough is not a dive, but I think it has darts and a jukebox if I remember correctly
- Scurvy Dog is not really a dive bar, but it may scratch your dive bar itch. No darts I don't think, but there is pool.
