Back 9 Pub

Tried takeout based on positive wing recommendations using their website menu as a guide. Cost turned out to be $6 higher than what it says it is online. Then I see their site has Copyright 2015 (year of review 2020) so that tells you how much effort is put into the business. Chicken fell out of the bone nicely. Problem is the sauces. Way too salty overpowering the spicy and sweet of the two sauces I selected. As for the place itself it's not very big and as others have suggested seems like a local hangout. There were people outside the few tables they have very close to the door to get in and feel like I had to stumble over them to get to the door. Walk by people smoking, no masks, etc. My advice don't go out of your way to try this place out as I did unless you're looking to become one of the locals. Plenty of similar places nearby more comfortable and better run.

Friendly place. Mostly locals, but they mingle with new crowds. Food was pretty good. I got wings and side of cheese fries. Wings tasted great the sauce had a bit of sweetness to it, surprised me a bit. The cheese fries were crinkle fries and shredded cheese, but could have used more cheese and heat to make it spring-like. Food priced ok. Not a great selection of beer on taps, but at least they have the bottles. A little small but good enough to meet the locals. I definitely will revisit

It took nearly an hour to get a burger and fries. Was not that busy (Although they only have like 8 tables). Beer took a little longer than I would have expected also. Not an unfriendly staff or environment but the kitchen was just "not up to par". Food was not good enough once I got it to make it worth going back. Basic bar food.

In the area of Cary it's hard to find a bar one would consider a "dive." I recognize that everyone defines a dive differently. But I see it as a bar that may fly slightly under the radar, and has a group of locals that frequent the place regularly. The Back Nine Pub fits right in here. I've been a few times now and every time the service has been spot on, the drinks have been strong, and the bar goers have been friendly. If you're looking for a regular spot this is your bar. If you're away from home and looking for that hometown feel, this is your bar.

Tucked behind golf courses and luxury homes of Cary, Back Nine's dark atmosphere and unpretentious vibe definitely set it apart from other places you can grab a drink in the area, so you won't see a family of five eating dinner here. Go ahead and curse all you wait and consider taking up smoking if you plan on spending some time here, because everybody else does and suddenly, you should, too. Service is usually quick and the typical fried bar food is good, so by dive bar standards, Back Nine gets 4 stars.
