Athens, GA. The best neighborhood dive bar and great drinks at better prices. Plus they have a monthly movie series and fun art shows. I’ve taken so many pictures in this mirror in their bathroom, my phone recognizes Redd Foxx’s face.

I love Trina’s for a group of friends! Right outside of Inman sq, great cocktails, friendly bar tenders- cool but not stuffy! They have really good food too if you need some nourishment.
Second State Park- it’s not a dive, but it looks like a Midwest dive and also has great food, a jukebox, and a Photo Booth next to the pinball on the right. I was there a few weeks ago and there was a line around 9- it does get busy!
There’s this cocktail bar on the second floor of a building in central, havent been in years but it was very dark and cool - brick and mortar! I have no idea what it’s like now, but the bartenders used to play vinyl.

in charlotte. it’s a perfect dive bar. dirty, bras tacked up on the walls, a hot pink bathroom, a non-digital jukebox that regularly has a billion pre-loaded credits for whoever to play whatever. and on top of all that, it’s a spite building in the middle of ugly modern apartments. i have considered moving to charlotte just so i could make this my regular bar.
my hometown trash bar is my other favorite: slammer’s. it’s a tiny windowless box where you are equally likely to witness a drunken brawl or the entire bar singing along to “party in the USA” PLUS the gal’s bathroom is two toilets in one room with like, a tiny half wall so you can drunkenly hold hands while you pee with your friend. i have not done this but i‘d like to think that it’s an appeal for a certain kind of person.

We have a spot by us that’s been here for something like 75 years. They have a dish on the menu called “meatball salad” that is better than it sounds. The walls are wood paneled. We come here every few weeks to dish with our favorite bartender—she lives on our block—about all the hot new neighborhood gossip. They’re filming “The Bear” on our block and there’s absolutely no parking. We’re all inconvenienced, let’s dish! She makes a great club soda with lime and my husband always asks what the specials are from the kitchen. It’s cash only. Chicago, we love you because you’re made up of dives like this, dotting corners in every neighborhood of this town.

One of my favorite weekend activities! Here’s this weeks haul. It reminds me of going to the video store as a kid and gives me shopping vibes and I have a whole weekend of entertainment and did spend a cent.
