Dives

Usually the smaller "mom and pop" type bars and/or restaurants (commonly known as dives bars and grills) that I have visited. I enjoy places where the food is good, the drinks are cheap, beer is PBR or Coors Banquet, and the folks are very friendly.

Dooley's Tavern

I have stopped by here a few times for a beer but this was the first time I stayed and had lunch. Located in the historic Smithey Hotel building, it serves a variety of American dishes, including popular items like the "Pimento Cheese Burger," wings, and the "

Tamarac Marina

I love riding to this place. It is more than a marina. It is a gas station, restaurant, store, and bar with fantastic views ALL in one place. Plus the ride getting their is all back roads with twisties and nice wooded views. The food here is also very good.

The Lost Wombat

It was a very warm Sunday in NC but I wanted to get in a good ride. Not enough time to really head up in the high country so I settled on the lower hills (about 1000+ feet in elevation). It was a bit cooler but still very hot. There

Billy Jack's Shack

A group of us were heading over to the Independent Picture House to watch the movie "The Bikeriders" and wanted a place to eat before the 7:30 show. I am not familiar with this area but suggested we go to Billy Jack's Shack. This restaurant/

Hef's Bar & Grill

Headed over to Hef's on a Thursday Night to give their Bike Nite a try. This place is very easy to find and has PLENTY of parking. I also thought is was quite nice that they set out cones so there was a huge area just for motorcycles.

Hide-A-Way Tavern

We had another day of wonderful weather and came across the Hide-A-Way Tavern in our travels. This place does not serve any food. They do have a few snacks but that is all. Also, there is NO liquor. It is mainly beer and wine. On the sign it says Members

Christo's Sports Bar and Grill

I have eaten at this place so many times it is hard to count. Love the atmosphere as it is small bar with excellent food and drinks. The prices are not so bad either (at least on PBR). I have not had anything bad here. Of course I have tried

Blue Parrot Oceanfront Café

While out on a ride with some locals riders that my brother new, we headed out to St. George Island (you can read more about this ride that I did here). As usual, this ride was fantastic...especially the bridge heading over to St. George Island. Once on the island,

Indian Pass Raw Bar

While coming back from yet another ride over to St George's island, took a different road back and found this little place. Stopped to get a cool drink. They have a massive beer cooler and it must have had over 100 kinds of beer. Great selection. Then I

Cone Heads

While riding out to Cape San Blas, right before you get to the state park, there is a bar and grill that is a definite stop. I did not eat there but they have an outdoor deck that is phenomenal for views. I got a beer and took in the

Tailgators Sports Grill

This is not really a dive bar but it does have pretty good food and the beer is pretty cheap. The staff has always been extremely friendly even when we show up with a large group of people. This is a good place to watch a game as well. I

Bart's Mart

This place is literally right around the corner from the House of Pizza. This is an eclectic place - very cool and a TON of different beers to choose from (wines too!). If you did not know it was here, you would never give it a second look. Great place

House of Pizza

The Thursday night group decided to meet up at the House of Pizza in Charlotte (this place has been here a long time). The service is great. The food was good but I got the Antipasto Salad. Another said the Philly Cheese was excellent. Another said the pizza was "

The Boat House on Lake Tillery

601 Burgers & Brews

We decided to take a long ride up to the Blue Ridge Parkway in order to find a bit cooler weather (and we did). Did a real nice route that circled around Meadows of Dan, VA. Great ride but we did hit a huge rain burst while in the mountains.

Outlaws BBQ

Love eating at Outlaws BBQ in Panama City Beach, FL. The owner Paul is really a great guy. I always look forward to heading over there (ok, it is literally across the street). No golf cart. No motorcycle. It takes 4 mins from front door to front door. The food
