I am sort of hoping no one says Bottom's Up for Fayetteville. The incidence of an STD outbreak there is already high.

Most football fans irl are great.

The internet brings out the bad ones.

Don't know that it would qualify as a dive, but most of the fights I saw took place at The Highlands in Auburn. Got absolutely smashed one night and got in the only fight of my college career there. My trashy side was brought out in that place for some reason.

Tuscaloosa - used to love Gallette's but its been a while since I've been to t-town so it may not be there still. So much construction on all these campuses now. Been lit up like a Christmas tree on Yellowhammer Slammers in there a few times. Always gotta hit me some Dreamland ribs while I'm there too.


Tuscaloosa is a rip off most places. I remember friday night and after the game saturday we would walk from bar to bar on the strip and almost every one told us their cover was $40-60 and no free drinks. We laughed in their face. I thought paying $10 after a game to go to Bogie's or Fred's was bad. I'll never underappreciate that again. Next week we hit both for $10 a piece and free drinks at both. God bless LSU.

The veranda in Starkville is always good. I’ve never had a bad experience there.

Oxford - Big Bad Breakfast.
Dive bar vs Greasy Spoon semantics aside, BBB is becoming a regional southern chain having opened across AL and one in SC with plans to spread across the South.

That said, it is pretty good.

Of the smaller, likely lessor known, local restaurants to visitors in Oxford, I like Rice and Spice (thai) and Volta (Greek - across the street from BBB in a converted gas station). There is also a steak/burger/seafood place off of 6 called The Sizzler (not to be confused with Western Sizzler or Sizzler Family Steakhouse national chains). It has been around since the 70s.

The Vineyard in Baton Rouge has been fun in the past.

Sorry this doesn’t answer your actual question. But I can’t go without saying two bars in birmingham back in the day when of course we played Bama there and the iron bowl was there also.

The Tide and Tiger and the Upside Down Plaza. ( the old building not the second location ) I believe these were the classic dive situations. Best I have been to and I have been to every SEC town.

Athens too many that qualify to mention one.

Had a great time at every bar in SC's Five Points for St Patrick's Day. For LSU I'd say Bogies, Ivar's or Fred's.
