Good burger.

Maxine's used to be a dive, but it's a hip cocktail bar now (ironically, I hung out at Maxine's when I was in college, and now I hang out at Maxine's since I'm older. My tastes changed, and so did the bar).

White Horse Tavern is a good dive.

The Beer Keg was one, but it's no more.

The Nines is kind of a dive, but it's like a hipster dive.

Roger's Rec was the most amazing dive in Fayetteville, but it also died with the gentrification of Dickson Street. That's kind of been the issue with Fayetteville in general. Dickson Street was once shady as hell with occasional shootings and other issues down there, so there were dive bars galore. Then it gentrified, and there's not really a whole lot of longstanding dives with a good history to them any longer as they were mostly on Dickson.
