@Brandon Van de Graaff if you can see in and out of the windows is it a dive bar?

I don't know, while I was at Fort Benning, off base in Columbus. I with into some bar that didn't have any windows.

Good question. There are certainly some on that list that I would consider a dive bar based on the photos... a couple even past dive bar status into whatever the next level would be.

I've had their burger. It's not even on my list of best burgers. The All-American Burger at Buffalo Wild Wings is better.

Did you see their post on X in reply to a thread GMail started?

Ya know why I don't go to BWW. (On that note, they are opening one in Mt. P—20+ miles—so that'll change a bit. I'd rather drive 30 minutes there than spend the same time just getting into the damn parking lot at the one three miles from here.)

Here's the thing. It's not a criticism against the burger...sort of is though. That's things can come out so juicy shit just drips everywhere—dish towel as a bib type of thing.

The two I go to in Pell City and Chelsea are owned by the same group, and both have great lunchtime bartenders - personable, quick service, remember orders, the whole thing you'd want in a neighborhood bar. They are greasy burgers, tasty as hell.

Just ran across this place while surfing around the 'net. Tuscumbia, of all places.

Not only because of the bar ... camp ground looks great!

Surprisingly, I've been to 5 of these... Flora-Bama, Red Bar, Callaghans*, Port of Call*, & Pirates Cove*

* all 3 have great burgers.
