re: Just booked my trip to Fayetteville....

I just did a listing of all the places to drink in the Dickson Street neighborhood. Its kind of impressive. First are primarily bars. Second are restaurants that have bars as a part of the business. Third are the places not technically on Dickson, but within 6-8 blocks up the street near the town square, easily walkable from Dickson.

These are just the places a college student can walk to from campus with ease. There’s restaurants and bars all over the rest of the city, too.

People aren't joking when they compare downtown Fayetteville to a scaled-down Austin.

I tend to drink in North Fayetteville where the chain restaurants are. I like Louie's sports bar, Mellow Mushroom, or Buffalo Wild Wings, typically.
