4 Best Dive Bars near Raleigh

“Fun dive bar with all walks of life hanging out. Nice selection of alcohol for drinks. Friendly fun staff! Dont wear your best outfits as, unfortunately, some of the local frat guys get a little sloppy. Last visit more than 3 drinks were dumped on me and a friend. (Hint, tighten up guys, offer a drink to those ya covered in yours and let's all just hang out and have fun. Stuff happens but be aware and polite about it)“

“the best place in Raleigh and the bartender knows how to make drink“

“Best pizza around this area“

“I hate using the word “dive” for a bar like Slims. Yes it’s dark. Yes it looks a little run down. No you’re not likely to see too many lawyers in suits and you’re not going to get any craft cocktails here. But what you do get is friendly service with generous pours of quality well liquors at very good prices. And sometimes you get live music in very intimate settings. I’m a fan.“
