The Scene
Polo shirts, clean jeans and the occasional sweater set scrub the dirt out of this wannabe back-road bar, replete with bowed heart-pine flooring, scarred wood tables and exposed brick. The faux-dunk interior belies its neon strip-mall locale and makes a perfect home for suburbanites looking for some fun and the occasional hookup. Draught choices run from $3 to $4 dollars a pint and include about 17 of the usual suspects.
The Draw
A mostly young, alt-rock-loving singles crowd fills up the long bar and both the indoor and outdoor seating areas. Beer snobs, beware--but if it's fast and cheap you want, this is the place. As an added bonus, the kitchen serves up reliable New Orleans-inspired goods--such as the hot, crispy po' boys--next to the typical bar fare. True connoisseurs should avoid the imitation andouille, but the seasoned tater tots rival those at the Highlander's in Midtown.

This is a little hole in the wall dive, but I love going there to see their live performers, especially Zac Brown. It could using some cleaning and it gets a little crowded but over all it is one of my favorite places to go.

I found this place on citysearch since I was here on business. I showed up by myself and met some cool folks and the 2 bands that were playing were both good. Kinda blues/rock/country music. I went there on a Wednesday and there was a big croud with lots of women. The downside is that I thought the drinks were expensive but I am from the backwoods of Kentucky so I might not be a good judge. Overall its worth checking out!

I haven't been inside Dixie Tavern in quite a while because the last time I was there I had a horrible time. I gave this place a second chance because I live near it, but I was still utterly disappointed. The drinks are still watered down...the place still smells like garbage...the floor is trashed....and the dress code must be torn jeans and Lynard Skynard t-shirts. The bartenders were okay, but not very attentive considering the place was half-dead. I left after an hour or so and had a much better time eating sushi and drinking beer next door at Rusan's.
