"With Nintendo 64 and NES, drag shows, and board games at the customer’s disposal, Hattie’s is a freewheeling dive bar, steering dive culture for the better. On the dog-friendly outdoor patio (and the cozy, dog-friendly inside with treats for pups), visitors enjoy the themed cocktails or the impressive plenty of North Carolina brews on tap while playing a cutthroat game of bingo. It’s a friendly crowd, not so interested in trendy, packed-to-capacity bars in flashier parts of town." - Kayleigh Ruller
