Best Bars In America 2019 List Includes Chapel Hill's He's Not Here

Posted Jan 31, 2019
"He’s Not Here is a true old-school college dive bar: “the oldest on-campus 50-year-old.” If you ever went to The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill or are just a Tar Heel fan, then you have probably had a Blue Cup — the classic $5 cup of beer — at He’s Not Here, which is located on Franklin Street. There are 38 beers on tap and 35 by the bottle on offer." (Patch.com)
