    Hello everyone, thank you for giving information and good comments about Ryleigh's Sports & More Bar. We really appreciate it. Enjoy the bar!

    I am moving to Fayetteville soon and I am trying to find a job at a bar or some bar/grill that I can work a few nights a week and make pretty decent money b/c I will be in school during the day. If anyone has any good ideas I'd appreciate it.

    How do you not mention Grubbs? Best drink specials and by far the best place to be seen late in the evening. Best bar is probably On the Rocks in the Fall and Summer and Willy D's on Thursday nights.

    Good luck to Mandy who wants to get snuck in to the bar. It's been on lockdown since the recent string of underage college kids who have passed away with a bottle in hand. Maybe you should stick to Frat parties, they'll let you in as long as I'm correct in assuming Mandy is a female name. Probably wanna watch the Cowboy Kool-Aid, trashcan punch or whatever drugged up girl drink they're serving lately.

    I have traveled all over and haven't found a single street that caters to the nightlife crowd quite like Dickson. It should be Nationally known, it's that much better than a lot of famous streets, Bourbon and Beale included.

    Dickson Theatre - Popular dance club, 18+, very mixed and diverse crowd (typically younger though).
    Speakeasy- Bar/dance, 21+, Vegas-style bar, typically less college students, doesn't get ful til after midnight
    Stir- where the barhopping starts, 21+, fun vibe, crowd moves out after midnight
    On the Rocks - good bar for twentysomethings.
    Willy D's- good fun for just chilling

    Ryleighs is open it is now a two level bar! Go to the Boom Boom Room to listen to live music on the weekends, play darts, pool, and more,

  • Sarah7/16/2007

    My favorite bar is Ryleigh's Boom Boom Bar! It is a two level bar with air hockey, pool tables, darts, and live music. It is for sure Fayetteville's best kept secret beacause it sits just back far enough where the passer byers might just miss it.
