Visiting 4 times in one year covering 8 weeks in Johnson City, I say this "dive bar of dive bars" would make my hometown Boston proud.

Upon entering, we…read morewere met with a cold gaze from the bartender; she neither made eye contact with us, nor acknowledged us to any degree!!!This bar is terrible!!! They denied us service with NO apparent reasoning. We went to Ben's, next to Hi-Wire, and we were greeted like KINGS!!! You won't be getting any money from MY Amex Gold account. 0 (ZERO) stars!!!

Tipton Street Pub was a fun stop during our night out in downtown Johnson City. By day it feels…read morelike a pretty typical neighborhood pub, with booth seating on one side and the bar on the other. As the evening goes on, though, the music gets much louder and the atmosphere shifts into more of a nightlife vibe. It felt like a mix between a local pub and a late-night hangout, with people enjoying drinks and making the most of the evening. Definitely added a bit of character to Johnson City's downtown scene.

I am extremely disappointed that I flew from The Bahamas to Johnson City & my first stop upon…read morearrival was to Tiptons Bar only to be told that they do not accept "foreign Id's" and that I am not allowed in their bar unless I bring a passport.. because my Government Issued drivers license isn't good enough. When did it become a crime to be a foreigner & why would anyone want to walk around with their passport just to visit a college bar ? It was an extremely tacky and disappointing experience especially since I loved tiptons when I was a college student at ETSU. I will not fight to spend my hard earned money anywhere therefore I will not be visiting a bar that discriminates against my nationality and identification. Very unwelcoming and disheartening... so much for supporting local businesses. I am a world traveler and have NEVER being denied entry anywhere else in the world. Pathetic.

I really like diners, love a good greasy spoon diner, but this place just doesn't tick off any of the things that make a good diner, especially eating in. The atmosphere is flat, the food is ok but pricey and I have had workers stop eating there in the last bit because they said the staff there pretty much make them feel like they have to leave a tip and that the food is too expensive for them to eat there anymore and this is why we had the conversation at Food City's eating section. I like diner hot dogs with chili, slaw and onion and the buns need to either be steamed or toasted and that should be expected when you eat out. This place is just never on my radar!

My friend orders a burger and I ordered the shrimp plate with mashed potatoes and green beans. The shrimp were ok they use too much pepper on it for me and thats about it. Could use some lemon juice or something. The mashed potatoes and green beans were good. Service was also good, the waitress was very personable.

We were "skeedaddling" from Carey NC and in need of dinner when my wife came upon McGuires Pub in…read moreHickory NC. The pub is in the basement of a building which is not always a good thing but in this case, it worked well! The spiral staircase added character to the pub and the character kept on keepin' on as we entered the restaurant. The inside is brick and wood which gives a pleasant dive feel. The staff was friendly and we were seated promptly. It was around 7:30 pm on a Saturday evening so it was pleasantly uncrowded. We ordered Irish potato soup, fried cheese curds, the Reuben on sourdough bread and fish n' chips. They were all amazing!! I had the soup and it was delicious- it was their take on French onion soup with potatoes and carrots. They always have it so if you like soup- GET IT! The cheese curds were legit- the cheese was tasty and the breading just right. My wife ordered the Rueben on sourdough instead of the offered rye. The sandwich was a classic Reuben which my wife liked so much that I had to have a bite. It was great! Plenty of corned beef and hash with a sauce that added the right amount of tang. My son ordered the fish and chips. The fish was outstanding and my son and I both agreed that it was as good as fish that we had recently had in London- awesome! One note about the fries- the fries were scrumptious and came in a shape that seems like they shaved from a potato rather than the usual shape of a fry. The shape was neat but the taste was no joke- delicious. Oh, and if you like sweet tea, they have it.;) Overall, it was a great dinner in a great place with friendly people at a fair price. Now we know where to go the next time we are in Hickory. If you live in the area and haven't tried McGuires, do yourself a favor and go!!! Thanks, McGuire's Pub!!
