6 Best Dive Bars near Raleigh

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

“Love coming to trivia here. Great pizzas and beers! 🍕“

“I was drunk and ready to end it all when I saw that beautiful golden flag hanging in the window. I stumbled in and was almost kicked out but the bar tender took one look at me and knew exactly why I was there and what I needed. He poured me a double of that arduous elixir and I was transport back to the days of prohibition and my Chicago roots. Ever since then my life has been exactly the same but now I know where I can go for a glass of Malört.“

“Ryan gave my friend and I some of the best service I’ve ever had. Super personable and has the best attitude. My friend and I wanted to sit outside but it was kind of cold so he brought us two heaters for both of us. 10/10 would recommend.“

“I had an amazing time at Lucky B’s (609 Tucker St, Raleigh) on 5/5/25. The music was nothing but bangers, and I was dancing my tail off all night with a bunch of female grads.

I ordered a Liquid Marijuana and a cranberry vodka, and both were great drinks to keep the party going.

If you want a spot with great energy, fun crowd, and non-stop dancing, this is the place to be. Highly recommend“

“Amazing people! Bartenders and Barbacks are great people and, the atmosphere is like no other in my opinion! The place is very chill with very little, if any BS going on! I felt at home from my first visit…. Which has kept me coming back now for going on 2yrs..,.“
