He's Not Here

Came here as a visitor in enemy territory after a football game (the fans here are very kind and hard to talk trash too). Got a couple of there "legendary blue cups" which is essentially a glorified yogurt container worth of beer. The price for one cup was $8 which is an absolute steal if you ask me. While the bar (and especially the bathrooms) are disgusting, this is exactly the type of college bar i was looking to go too. I understand the hype. And I would 100 percent anyone visiting check this place out.

Solid 3 stars. It's pretty dirty. The walls are covered in the ages of accumulated dirt of generations of UNC students... maybe that's why it got such high marks from others. Personally it's just an indoor /outdoor UNC student hang out with alcohol on tap. The choices on taps for ciders aren't too wide. Usually you get one maybe two options. Service is nice enough. Their bathrooms are pretty gross too. We went on a Tuesday night. Only plus is the giant $6 cups which is why I'm sure the students flood in. If I go back I'll get photos.

We came to CH for a weekend with friends who live in the area. We spent a full day doing all the UNC things, and that included a trip to He's Not Here, a classic college bar established in 1972. It was early June, so university students had gone home, so there were just a few scattered patrons. The bar is awesome with ample seating outside and several tables inside. Upstairs and downstairs bars are great for busy weekends with college students. He's Not Here is known for its blue cups filled with draft beer of your choice. The cups hold the equivalent to probably three beers. It was definitely an experience. Bartender was helpful and answered questions. We probably spent over and hour just hanging out. We had a great time. If you are looking for a quintessential college bar with an established feel, this is your place!

This place makes you feel like you are back in collage! Giant plastic UNC Blue Beers for $9...So darn fun!!

Home of the blue cup and a chapel hill staple. Amazing prices/value and pretty much the ultimate college bar. Staff is typically very friendly and the outdoor section is ideal for groups big or small to even just hang out, especially when the weather is nice out. Highly recommend

This is your typical bar that gets very popular with students. They have ample space for nights that get busy and many places to sit. Place is dog friendly which is always nice! The bar is ok the second floor which I thought was a little different. They have a good amount of options for beer drinkers offered in two sizes: 32oz in the famous blue cups and 16oz. They also had 2 options of ciders when I went. They don't offer anything else if you are not into beer or cider, which is not bad but it is nice to know before hand. The bartender was very polite and was fast with the orders. Would come again next time I am in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area

Another one of UNC's awesome haunts as this is an great place to just chill and enjoy a beer...and some good tunes when they have them. Great place to gather before or after games or just with friends. Love the trees and the picnic benches. Low key but super cool.

You have to be here. Total bomb place. Good outside space. Plenty of taps on. We love this place. Back hidden in a alley way. So you'll have to find them. Great Thursday night hang out. Beers big enough for Texas! You won't be disappointed!

Tall 32 oz beers. Great dive spot / hole in the wall. I bet when school is in session this place is rockin

Cool spot. Dropped by here to get the UNC college bar experience while watching the basketball game. Flat fee for drafts, plenty of craft. Enter around the back and upstairs. Really great hospitality.
