    I'm underage and don't go to bars. I've never really enjoyed the times I've been in bars though... shrug.gif

    However, there was midget wrestling at the dirty college bar here right down the road. I am a little disappointed I missed that :lol:

    Well i have my local pubs and my favorite bars. The locals are usually the close ones i like that i can walk home from if i need to
    so in my area i like the Taco Mac because the bar tenders are cool and i know all the beer geeks that go up there, then their is the Royal Oak Pub which gets my business by default because it is literally around the corner usually my last stop before home, but there is a place called Dunwoody Tavern about a mile down the road i like a lot.

    all the bartenders know me and i get good service from all of them

    Now my FAV bars in atlanta....
    -Porter Bar in L5P fucking great beer selection and if you can get a seat at the bar always good bar talk going on.

    - Brick Store Pub in Decatur- Same as above beer selection is out of this world
    (ratebeer actually ranked the porter and the brick number one and number two for their beer selctions in the united states in 2012 so i'm not the only one that digs those places)

    -Smiths Olde Bar Midtownish- It is awesome because upstairs is live music, then there is a bar area, then a sit down table area and yet anotehr area that has pool, foozball and darts. Some of my best memories here or at least the parts i remember

    -The Independent Midtownish- Great little bar with friendly people

    -The Earl East Atlanta- I started going here because a lot of indie and small bands play here, but one time i could not get in the stage area was sold out so i sat at the bar and realized the bar rocks by itself.

    So yeah those are my haunts in Atlanta.
    Charlotte 00 | Charlotte 03 | Asheville 04 | Atlanta 12 | Greenville 16 | Columbia 16 |Seattle 18  | Nashville 22 | Ohana Festival 24 x2 | Atlanta 25 x2

    There's a private club near me that is my favorite. Doesn't take much to join this private club, just $75 for your first year then $40 in dues each year after.

    Why it's my favorite:

    Never too crowded
    A bunch of people who know each other, great conversations)
    Dive bar atmosphere

    Cheap food
    $5 pitchers

    Plenty of good times in this place for under $20.

    I should pop down for lunch...
    I've met Rob

    DEGENERATE FUK

    This place is dead

    Oddly enough, mine is called The Pub. It's not nearby me per se, it's probably halfway between home and work. It's great for some cocktails, then enter dining room for an awesome dinner.

    It's not really a pub, but my friends and I enjoy Paninnis bar and grill. Good food, drinks and great live bands every Friday and Saturday nights.

    I used to be able to ride my bike to downtown Lake Worth. Its a grungy old town, but it has a lot of character. In the middle of downtown, there is an intersection with an irish pub, a sports bar, an open aired beachy type bar called I-Gots, and a Rotelli. There's a lot of foot traffic and wacky folks in the area, so I dig it. And a block away is Propaganda, the local original music hole. I love the dive bars mostly..

    And the best dive bar is called Harry's Banana Farm. :lol: No kidding.
