    there's dive bars and there's Dive Bars and I am glad that they can comfortably coexist in the…read morenorthern climes of carolina. Dive is not really that divey, i'm guessing "relax and hang out and play games in cocktailored comfort bar" was taken so "Dive Bar" it is... this location is way bigger and more above ground than the OG in Mooresville plus it has patio seating to get away from the madding crowd when it arrives as I'm sure it will, it just wasn't here (yet?) today but it's still early and still Thursday and a bit too warm for May. entry and main room have several games of "skill" and other amusements to give your hands something to do besides raising your glass. further back there's more games and some pool tables; a standard coin-op plays different than 'World Series o' Billiards' tables because, well, you know... you're in a bar! which, oddly enough, is exactly the same reason you could loose your house payment (if they allowed that sort of thing here (which they don't.)) it's a nice place, kinda glad I don't live too near here or I'd be here more often than not.

Front side patio, almost like a porch patio with television and the bar is accessible from the patio. No one under 21 permitted after 8pm so take your kids to play if it's your thing! My son enjoys the arcade.

    Great music, great karaoke, great bartenders, cheap beer, wine, booze, and membership 21+…read more This is my favorite dive bar in years. So many great regulars and most everyone gets along with each other. Catch Karaoke with Shane on Tuesday nights!

    After a significantly long weekend... 1) two days spent in…read moreblisteringly hot weather manning a festival booth (while dealing with the occasional over-intoxicated you-know) 2) the first evening spent heaved over sick and sporting a massive headache -- likely from dehydration given #1 3) exchanging a would-be lazy Sunday to host an event that just didn't make the grade ... I was sharply reminded of home. And of good stiff drinks. Which brings me to Walker's. Metaphysically, that is. Because there's really never enough time in my crazy schedule to drive to Greensboro (incidentally, where my family lives and who I've only seen three times this year because of said schedule). My days at Walker's were many. And simpler. And boy, do I miss them. Had I known about life after grad school then, I would have appreciated the small-yet-reliable satisfaction that comes from being a regular at your neighborhood dive. The drinks are strong, and cheap. The jukebox has all the classics. The bar flies are a mix of funny, crazy, and kind -- but you know each of them by name. The bartender greets you like a friend. When the most of my troubles involved writing a paper on the use of viral marketing tactics employed by Snakes on a Plane, and nearly every other night meant a stop at Walker's with my roommate, it was almost an age of innocence in some ways. Here-here to the neighborhood watering hole!
