Honestly, like a typical college watering hole, it looks like a good cleaning is in order. The atmosphere was electric on this autumn, football weekend Friday night. Service was helpful and friendly, beer ice cold and cocktails well poured. Several in our group ordered, and recommended, their burger and fries. They were both great and the skin on fried potatoes were cut in house - not frozen!

I caught 3 of the 4 nights with my brother and they were a blast. Such a thrill to see a band I've been following for two decades in the place where it all started for them. The club itself is a gem-- easy entry process, clean restrooms, not a bad spot in the house, perfect size venue for an active but intimate show. Friendly staff who appreciate the fans and the music. To top it all off-- incredibly cheap drinks. I'm talking about $3-$5 beers (the latter for tallboys), $6 or less well drinks, and almost nothing for more than $10. Coming from Nashville where even the diviest of music venues are starting to charge 2-3x those prices during shows, it was a revelation. The club is steps away from great record stores, bars, and places to grab a bite. Highly, highly recommended.

Hendershot's Coffee is a unique place. What makes it unique?…read more * In addition to serving coffee along with some food items, it's full bar and has all of your booze groups covered. * It hosts live music, and not just a guy or gal playing an acoustic guitar. We want for a comedy show that was great. One of the nice things about Hendershot's is in my limited experience the shows start at 7:00 p.m., which means it's totally doable on a "school night." My suspicion is it is townie's place. When we went, I did not see any UGA kids. In other words, it's a place for grown ups for the most part. Pro-tip: Get there early for an evening show. Parking can be a challenge with three great restaurants more or less adjacent, and the best seats for shows fill up fast. Cheers!

The Road House is a quite excellent roomy dive bar located in downtown Athens…read more It has a split personality. During the day, it's mostly grown up townies and the occasional grown up tourist like me. At night, especially late night, it's PACKED with UGA kids, which it was when I ventured there on my first night in town on a Monday night after navigating the Atlanta airport and the long drive to Athens in a rental from there. The bartender on duty when I went during the day was great. She was friendly and knows her craft. Bartending is a lot more than pouring drinks. I will go so far as to say the pouring and making of drinks is almost incidental to the craft, which means maintaining a safe, fun, and welcoming atmosphere that makes people want to come back all while pouring and making drinks, running tabs, ringing up orders, handling old schoolers like me who pay and tip in cash as they go, washing glasses, and so forth. The prices are more than reasonable. For instance, during happy hour (2:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m.) my usual order of a Makers rocks and a good beer was $10.50. Off happy hour it would be $12.50, which is still more than reasonable in my experience. I will certainly stop in again when I return to Athens next year. Cheers!

I'm fine with places requiring a mask to enter. That's the business owner's call on that and I have…read moreno problem with it at all. But this place takes it up to outrageous levels. If you pull your mask down to (heaven forbid) drink your drink at a bar and you don't IMMEDIATELY cover your face back up, you WILL be reprimanded by the bartender. Really would've liked this place but the bartender was extremely unpleasant. With all the options in Athens to have a drink, there is absolutely no reason to go here when they obviously do not respect their customers. The bartender seriously watches you like a hawk to pounce at the opportunity to be a jerk about your mask. It was really unsettling. If you're that scared of Covid, you might want to just shut your doors. Terrible experience and definitely will not be back. It was seriously ridiculous...

Unfortunately, even though the band played loudly and spiritedly, after the first hour: with not even a semblance of Beatles music to fulfill our expectations, and the arrival of an accordion on the stage (at a Beatles show!?) - well -we were a little underwhelmed. Hoping the next few shows are better -and at least similar to the band that inspired the tribute as advertised.
