The Manhattan Cafe is a cozy dive bar in downtown Athens…read more It's not much to look at from the outside. If anything, it looks a little sketchy from the outside given the bars on the window, but it's not a sketchy place at all. Believe me when I say this. I stopped in on a Monday night for a nightcap. It was nice and quiet, which is exactly what I was looking for that particular evening, the following day being a travel day for me. As you can see from my pics, it's a nice little place. Drink prices were very reasonable, and the bartending was very good, too. I will happily stop in again when I return to Athens next year. Cheers!

Looking forward to more events thereand going back again to see some friends and grab a drink and they're wonderful staff.

Excellent humidor, the venue is very old world quaint, super comfy chairs, and for a cigar bar it's relatively smoke free in the air.

I'm not a fan of traditional Christmas drinks with peppermint, cranberry, coffee, etc., so I was happy to see some rum/fruity options. Service was great!!

My only complaint was listing the hours on the buffalo's webpage because we didn't realize it was separate and drove out on a Tuesday to find it was closed. So glad we came back, though!

Once we arrived, we were told they couldn't seat us outside because our dog wasn't a service dog. If your actual policy is "service dogs only," then update your information on Apple Maps instead of letting people waste their time walking over there based on incorrect information. And honestly, even if we had been able to sit down, the outdoor area was so loud that we could barely hear the server. Not exactly an enjoyable dining experience. Misleading information and an unnecessarily wasted trip. We won't be coming back.

All of the drinks I've had (espresso martini, margarita, cosmo, and redline) are very strong! I recommend ordering off the signature drink section (on the front part of the menu) because they are crafted and taste better than the generic bar drinks (on the back bottom part of the menu). My husband loves the raspberry sour. The place has indoor and outdoor seating with ambient lighting. The decor and vibes are nice, mature, and upscale. There are two single stall bathrooms available for use. The hours are unique, so I'd keep that in mind if you're planning on spending time here (Tues-Sat 5-10pm). Great place for parties of 2-6ish! We have enjoyed starting and ending our nights of drinking here.

The interior is on the dark side, invoking old steakhouse vibes, but not really a modern/updated feel to it. We started with a couple of cocktails which took a while to get. There was only one bartender and she was backed up in orders at 6pm on a weeknight. For dinner we ordered country fried steak, salmon, and pasta Alfredo (a vegetarian in out party), all delicious! The salads we had before the main course came with a croissant drizzled with honey, yum! The service wasn't the best, I think our waitress was new. She didn't get my water request right, I asked for no ice, three times, and still got it wrong. She was sweet and did check on us, though we couldn't understand her since she spoke so softly. We paid cash, which included the tip. She came back after taking our money, to ask us if we wanted the change when we gave her $130 for a $97 bill ($100 bill plus a 10 & 20). We couldn't understand how paying that much more in cash confused her, hence assuming she was new. But overall I think our experience was pleasant. I wish they had more vegetarian options, but I would patronize this establishment again.
