"A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Ashley McBryde. The song was released as her first single on October 16, 2017, and served as the lead-off single to her major label debut album, Girl Going Nowhere, released on Warner Bros. Nashville.
McBryde co-wrote the song with Nicolette Hayford and Jesse Rice, the latter of which drew inspiration for the song based on a real life experience in which he met the woman that would become his wife by chance at a dive bar known as The Crimson Moon in the town of Dahlonega, Georgia after his car broke down leaving Atlanta.[1] The song was written on a day McBryde calls "the worst day ever,"[1] a sentiment shared by the other two songwriters when they met up for a writing session, which led to Rice sharing the story that would lead to the creation of the song.[2]
"A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega" was named one of the 54 Best Songs of 2017 by The New York Times,[3] and one of the Top 25 Best Country Songs of 2017 by Rolling Stone.[4]
