Dives you like in every SEC town

I'm always curious what others find interesting or fun in rival SEC towns. I like finding local dives. I havent been to all the towns, but I've been to several. Curious to know if you crazy fricks have got any faves, past or present.
College Station - Dixie Chicken (i think its called) great dive spot that is a happening place the night before the game. Had a blast in 2015. Somehow only the dickheads from A&M end up here because every A&M fan I met at that bar was delightful and friendly.
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.
Oxford - Big Bad Breakfast. Little breakfast dive in a fairly non-descript shopping center. Killer southern breakfast served but cute Ole Miss coeds. Whats not to love. Also love Proud Larry's on the square. Always fantastic bluesy live music when I've been.
Starkville - Dave's Darkhorse. Greasy AF food, but perfect after a dozen beers.
Athens - used to be "Allen's"...which was a delightful graffiti-riddled dump with pool tables, longneck beers, and good sliders. Gotta find another place. I would say the Georgia Theater but its super nice now since they renovated after the fire.

Dave's is the correct call for Starkville. Cheap booze, good food, good music, and a chill atmosphere because it is the hippy/stoner capital of Starkville. Probably went the 100+ times and never saw a single fight break out. Just gotta make sure you can tolerate the scent of weed everywhere you go- though to some, that could be considered a perk.

Georgia Bar, but they also closed.
Nowadays it's probably going to be World Famous on Hull St.

Gallettes just finished a major update and expansion. Not sure it’s considered a dive anymore.
Dreamland bbq sucks.

I don't know if any of those qualify as dives except for maybe Q's.
War Eagle Supper Club was the last of the real dives in Auburn. Harry's "where the elite meet" was the other. I miss that place

Bar None is a good Five Points dive choice. For the Vista area I like Uncle Louie's, never know what kind of crowd you'll get on a game weekend.

Egans in Tuscaloosa. I got a bloody Mary in there at 6am with a full slice of bacon in the drink. I came back from the dead after that drink.

Dixie Chicken is cool, but a dive bar? It’s the most well known bar there.
For Columbia, does Group Therapy count as a dive? If so, maybe that one. That or The Whig.

Cool Beans in Knoxville

It definitely has the environment of a dive bar but so does like 80% of the bars on NG

Does Auburn sell its own ice cream like Clemson, UGA and Miss State?
