Iconic back-yard hangout in Chapel Hill. Not much of a bar, more of a place you go with 10 of your friends and can get drunk off $10 worth of beer while you sit on picnic tables. Celebrities will visit here out of the blue if you are around enough. Michael Jordan came through once when I was there, but, unfortunately, he was mobbed before I could even see him.

Frank's Garage - If you miss them then - you missed them. – If you miss He's Not Here when Frank's Garage plays there, then you'll miss out on one of those rare evenings when you remember it for the rest of your life. It is one of those memorys that you can't force, it's just one of those events that after you leave, you say, wow, that was awesome and you can't wait for it to happen again. Frank's music plays to the 40's crowd as well as the 20's crowd.
