Default Dive Bars or Biker Bars - Your Favorite

So what's your favorite Biker or Dive bar?

Always enjoy stopping in at a place that a little on the Divey side and has some character.

Some of my favorites are

Handlebar & Grille - Longwood, FL (Closed)
Foxhead Lounge - Osteen, FL
Bettys Laughing Horse - Orlando, FL (Closed)
Maggies Tavern - Saylorsburg, PA
J&S Roadhouse - W Milford, NJ
Pennsylvania Roadhouse - Nazareth, PA
OB's 1750 - Deland, FL
Cheyene Saloon - Palatka, FL
White Eagle - Korona, FL (Closed)
Last Resort Bar - Port Orange, FL (Where serial killer Aileen Wuornos was arrested) Home of Ice Cold Beer & Killer Women

What are some of your favorite spots. Would be nice to have a reference while on road trips. You know, the places you're not gonna find on Yelp!

Iron Works Grille, Tellico Plains, TN.

It’s on the western end of the Cherohala Skyway, on the river.

We rode up to NY State in summer of '23. Stopped overnight at my buddy's house in Leesburg VA and went to this place. Fun place.

Locally, Bud's Tavern in Youngsville NC. Especially when they have a motorcycle event. My wife and I go there a few times a month for food, music and a beverage.

The Emerald Club in Emerald Isle NC. Pics taken during Emerald Isle Poker Run. Which is a blast. It's May 3 this year.

OK final entry. The Trailer Bar in Surf City NC. If you're in the area, it's a must see. Here's a pic of my wife and I there in September to see Jim Quick and Coastline band (another must see).
