The Back Door in Graham.

Actually I have no idea. There's a Hooters there though...





Oh wait. There's Piedmont Ale House on St Marks Church Rd outside of Elon. It's new.

the only good bar in Burlington is a hard, iron one...



to hit yourself in the face with after you realized you moved somewhere so lame and unfullfilling

1/18/2007 12:25:25 AM

there are lots of bars up here

1/18/2007 12:27:18 AM

west end in elon

1/18/2007 12:53:08 AM

ham's is awful.

west end is good, then there is bogey's which isn't bad if you have a group of folks and go in the spring or summer (they have a volleyball court) and then there is a place called the ale house or carolina alehouse or something like that that is located off of church street in west burlington (it's near a credit union, i can't remember much more).

that's the best i can do for ya right now.

west end

1/18/2007 1:37:20 AM

alright, 3 votes for west end, looks like that's where i'll be going friday

thanks for the input

^^^^^^ I didn't move here for a crazy college atmosphere, I moved because of a job, and I wanted to be near Mebane and near Greensboro, and Burlington is pretty much half way

1/18/2007 2:28:33 PM

HHAHAA BARS in BURlington!?! no way!

1/18/2007 2:58:52 PM

Blue Gator off of s church st near movie theatre....thats the spot on sat night!!!! Lighthouse always has good bands......West end is a bar everyone goes to from elon.......Hams is cool......

1/18/2007 3:28:35 PM

I know where the steak & shake, the mall, and the hobby shop hypermind in burlington are.

Suggest having a drink at Kimbers in Gibsonville, which is a mile or two from Elon. Get a Teresa Special and tell her hi for me.

1/18/2007 4:24:56 PM

Well at least you'll be able to enjoy the chicks up around elon. Snobby rich girls yeah, but at least a few of em need the happy stick.

1/18/2007 4:43:01 PM

^ haha he wishes

prerequisite for Elon chicks talking to you = You drive a land rover with New Jersey tags.

As an alum, y'all are spot-on about the amount of out-of-staters at Elon. However, it was always a good time telling those yankees to STFU.

1/19/2007 11:50:52 AM

^^aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahhahahahaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHSAHSAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

put it this way...hams might not be the best bar, but burlington isnt known for their bars, and thats the only one i've gone to...and it was pretty shitty- it was just like being at hs and you see all the losers you had to see in hs again

1/19/2007 11:53:40 AM

Hams is a good cheap restaurant, decent bar i suppose. Kimbers is terrible, and gibsonville is even worse than burlington. I would suggest going to Greensboro probably, only about a 15 minute drive. i've lived in Burlington my whole life and still haven't found anything exciting to do there. Don't get me wrong, its a great place to live, just nothing to do.

1/19/2007 1:02:25 PM

hams is just a restaurant, right?

i got trashed at the hams on franklin street once

1/19/2007 1:41:11 PM

^i always thought it was a resturant...went back home and some friends were like "lets go to hams!"

i was like uhhhhhhhh is this the best place possible

1/19/2007 1:42:59 PM

Actually just met up with a few friends and down by the west end, the Piedmont Ale House is an actual bar w the usual sandwiches and food at lunch/dinner, seems nice for a burlington setup.

I lived in Graham (right outside of Burlington) for a year after college (due to a job). Thank God I got laid off and got to move back to Charlotte for another job. Honestly, the best bar I found was a Drive-Thru convenience store across from my apartment. Pick up a 12 pack and head back to the apartment.

1/21/2007 2:53:53 PM

Its about 10 minutes from Asheboro. lots of great bars there.

1/21/2007 2:56:17 PM

I grew up there - not much doing for bars...

Maybe brewballs?

1/22/2007 12:39:36 PM

Yeah, we went to west end, and it wasn't that great. We had a good time, but there was no liquor (just beer), and there was a big screen tv in the back that a bunch of kids had brought guitar hero and were playing

We only stayed for about 1.5 hours, then headed back to my place where the real drinks were waiting

1/22/2007 1:18:10 PM

The town (of Elon) doesn't allow liquor sales, hence the suggestion to go to Kimbers in Gibbyville. The students are likelyt on january term break, so the place was likely desolate.
