Dive into this Classic

The most famous burger InTheBurg might just be at this dive, but you'll have to find out yonder for yourselves....

Since 1937, Spartanburg's oldest restaurant, bar, and music venue has served up their nationally acclaimed burgers* on Kennedy St. Have you heard of "The Nu-Way?"

Dive into the Nu-Way

As with many local joints and dive bars, the true allure is the people you meet inside. But, the nationally-acclaimed burgers at Nu-Way Lounge & Restaurant (373 East Kennedy St) rival even the best memories made at the bar-top, patio picnic tables, and Thursday jam nights over the past eight decades. Their most famous special? The Redneck Burger.
