We're different and we know that. Due to this amazing and unique status, we've lined up a few questions that we get asked A LOT just so you can be in-the-know before you walk in the door and ask us something that we don't feel like answering again because we're still hungover from last night.

Are children permitted at Dive Bar?

Hickory & High Point- YES until 8pm daily. Winston-Salem, Mooresville & Cornelius- NO, literally zero days a week . "Why no kids at Winston, Mooresville OR Cornelius? That's not fair!" Honestly, because Dive Bar Mooresville was our first location, we leaned hard into the NSFW stuff so there's not only profanity and inappropriate s#%@ everywhere. When we opened Cornelius, we wanted a "Rated-R Sister Bar" to the original. It's not suitable for kids, unless you raised them like Andrew Dice Clay..in that case we applaud you and we might even hire the little rapscallion. (jk we can't do that so plz don't ask)
What are the hours of Dive Bar?

Each location has it's own set of hours, but generally is as follows- Mon: CLOSED Tue-Thur: 5 PM - 12 AM Fri: 5 PM-1 or 2 AM Sat: 3 PM - 1 or 2 AM Sun: 3 PM - 11PM
What type of food do you serve? Can I get it delivered?

Our food is relatively the same across all locations. Pizza Pretzel Bites Tacos & so on and so forth. No. We do not deliver.
What happened to the memberships?

Once upon a time, a membership was required to be a patron of our bar. Don't worry, it wasn't some snobby BS that fleeced our customers of their hard-earned money. It was a requirement in North Carolina, and we used 100% of membership money to donate to community organizations like Feed NC and so on. Well, that's no longer a thing. Why? We don't know, but the state decided it wasn't. We are still accepting charitable donations and giving 100% of proceeds to local charitable organizations, but it is no longer required. We're not stoked about it, but that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.
What Are The Rules Of Conduct?

-Fighting and excessive yelling or shouting is prohibited -Any physical altercations will result in a permanent ban from all dive bar locations now and in the future -Any attempt to enter dive bar while already impaired will result in denial of entry When you are asked not to return to Dive Bar, you are not permitted at any Dive Bar location in the future.
