There are no good or real dive bars in Traverse City. Might as well just go to a dispensary and liquor store and party at your hotel.

The worst dive bar I've ever been to. The bartenders kept looking past me and my friends and serving the locals behind us

I'm a big chicken tender fan, and I read that Lil Bo had some good ones, so Nate and I stopped in…read morefor lunch before checking in to our hotel recently. We sat at the bar and had the BEST service from Fred. He introduced himself, asked our names, and shook our hands. He gave us a rundown of the daily specials and let us settle in. He continued to give exceptional service the whole time we were there, even when it got busy. He greeted everyone by name and was just a gem. I'd come back just to chat with Fred again! On to our meal - I had a spicy margarita that was very tasty and refreshing. We ordered the EOD, the (deviled) egg of the day that changes regularly - the version on this day had andouille, coleslaw, and remoulade. We also got an order of the chicken tenders to share. I loved that they have so many sauce options. Then came the next best thing about Lil Bo's - the bar trays! They sit on the slope of the bar so you can have a level surface for your food. I'd never seen this before and thought it was genius. The food was tasty - Nate liked the deviled eggs, and the chicken tenders were hot and fresh. They were not the best I've ever had, but certainly not the worst. They were super crispy but just a tad dry. I was hoping to go back later in the evening for Sunday karaoke, but that didn't happen. I will be back!

So, late night, we happen to be in town at the tail end of the cherry festival. We attempt to hit a…read morerooftop bar - but their menu doesn't match what they had online, so we left in search of food and walked to Lil Bo. I was expecting a dive spot, but it's large, outdoor seating, and a staff that doesn't stop moving. Caught the tail end of the FIFA game, and the gentleman next to me spoke at length about "America has the skill but not the teamwork." You never know who you'll end up talking to. Our bartender brought us extended tables, the bar staff was friendly, and the food was good - all in all a nice win for our brief stay in town.
