    One of the most underrated coffee spots in Athens. Great vibe! Live music in the evenings. Quite enough to be a good workspace during the day.

    Quirky ambiance
    Alisa T.

    This place seems very representative of Athens in general... friendly staff, slightly run down building, adequate furnishings, great place to see a wide variety of musical performances, quirky art and strong sense of community. Occasional events (ie monthly salsa dancing) can be packed while mornings are mellow, and everything in between. Their breakfast burritos are tasty and the "MacHenderGriddle" croissant sandwich is delicious and filling. The coffee is always good. At night there isn't much food left except pre-packaged cheese plates (better than average) and occasionally a cookie. The bar serves standard stuff and a few unique cocktails. I recommend the Foxy Lady mocktail with spicy ginger ale!

    Great vibe. You're seriously going to want to hang out after ordering your coffee. I love the Community Art Project near the entrance. BRILLIANT! I stayed close and couldn't stomach the hotel coffee and this place was recommended. Loved it and plenty of folks chatting at tables as well as students working on laptops. No one minds the noise and would love to come back when they have live music.

    Always my favorite coffee shop turned bar after hours to visit when I'm in Athens. This particular weekend, after a disappoint Georgia loss to South Carolina, I wanted to check out this place that was far from the chaos of downtown Athens. It's definitely more of an Athens towny restaurant that's great to have group meetups, see live music, comedy shows, etc. This particular day when I went, there was a Jazz show. I didn't want to attend the show, but they allowed people to sit outside and you could still basically hear the Jazz from the courtyard seating. It was very pleasant! For my drinks I ordered a Guinness stout which was poured a little wrong, so I had to wait for it to settle for about 5 minutes before I could drink it. I also ordered the Angry pirate which was a chai latte with rum, but the drink was a little too strong for my liking and tasted like it only had a hint of chai in it. Overall solid experience, but I would maybe recommend their coffee drinks over their cocktails!

    Great atmosphere and very relaxed. Went on a Saturday morning and the outside sitting area was super cute. Coffee is a little expensive but there are a range of drinks and prices to choose from.

    One of the greatest chai lattes I have had in a long time. I will be returning to them when ever I am visiting Athens.

    Great place to take your honey for music and drinks. Unflappable bartender. Get there 20 min before the show starts.

    I hear you can park at the church for free, but the parking lot designated for the bottleworks is slightly expensive...

    Live Wire Athens did not disappoint! Daniel and staff worked hard to create the upscale nightclub…read moreambiance we were after for our Dead Beat Club event. Everything about Live Wire is top-notch: Beautiful venue, superb sound and lighting, and a cocktail lounge that rivals any in our area. Add the courtyard with elevated deck area and it offers a cozy place for all. So many of our guests commented on the fact that they had never been there, and that it was now on their radar screen. So the next time you don't know what to do on a Tuesday summer evening, drop in to experience all that is Live Wire Athens. Tiki Taco Tuesday is coming up every week and you can enjoy Don Carne tacos and a beautifully crafted cocktail at this local family-owned and operated venue. Check their calendar for more public events, or talk to them about your wedding, graduation party, or family reunion. See you Tuesday!

    LIVE WIRE FILTERS OUT THEIR GOOGLE REVIEWS, SO YOU CAN NOT LEAVE AN HONEST REVIEW THERE…read more We are writing to express our profound disappointment with the event coordination for our 20-year reunion. The experience was incredibly unprofessional, and the Class of '04 Reunion Committee felt disrespected after having paid for your services. Initially, we selected Live Wire based on the positive reviews on your social media platforms. However, after checking other review sites like Yelp, it became clear that our negative experience was not unique. We encountered significant issues with conflicting information about the services provided by your staff. Despite multiple attempts to contact our event coordinator, Erika, we did not receive clear or consistent answers to our questions. During our visit on June 25th, we were given conflicting information yet again, but your general manager, Algy, and other staff were the most pleasant and spoke with us with the level of customer service a paying client expects. Attempts to visit the venue during stated hours of operation were fruitless, as the venue was closed each time. Given the high cost of renting this venue, we expected a much higher level of service and professionalism. After speaking with the owner, Erin, we were told that we were "wasting her time" because she and other members of management had to be involved when our event coordinator, Erika, went unresponsive and we weren't getting our questions answered. Erin also mentioned that she shouldn't be communicating with one of the committee members because they weren't the point of contact, yet she was willing to take an additional $350 from our classmate for an extra hour to set up. This inconsistency was unacceptable. This business is in the hospitality and customer service industry, and Live Wire's conduct was severely lacking. We have never heard of an event coordinator not assisting with coordination. When our class representative was told Erika was not an event planner, we were already aware. However, when we expressed our concerns to Erin and Algy, their responses were contradictory. Live Wire can certainly learn from Algy, who communicated professionally while being informative and addressing our issues. If your event coordinator was unable to fulfill the responsibilities of the role, then it raises questions about the standard of service provided. If this venue could not handle event coordination, it should not have taken on the responsibility. Here's the link to UGA's Event Planning and Meeting Management Certificate. Given that this is a college town, as Erin pointed out, perhaps Live Wire could benefit from this training to better reflect professionalism in its operations. On July 4th, we received an email stating changes to our contract and confirmation that the $350 was received for the additional setup hour. Yet, they weren't the point of contact, but the money was taken. As of July 7th, Erin responded to a message indicating that yet again, misinformation was provided. Erin, you stated in your email that you said the same thing as Erika to our class representative, which you certainly did not do. Our class representative even confirmed with you multiple times prior to leaving regarding the timeline for dropping off tablecloths at 2 pm. It's a good thing that in the state of Georgia, you have the right to record conversations as long as one person is aware, and when they spoke with you, the committee was also on the phone and heard the entire conversation. You also forgot to mention that you said if your staff shared the information regarding tablecloths or any items being dropped off and set up before our arrival, you would have to speak with your team. Sounds like a lack of communication amongst your staff that had nothing to do with the client. The fact that you blatantly lied about your conversation in an email truly shows this venue for what it is. Neither you nor Erika owned up to any customer service lapses, which was mind-blowing. On July 8th, Erika finally reached out to our point of contact by phone and provided direct contact information, less than four days before our event. The simple fact that there was a thread going back and forth between your event coordinator and our point of contact prior to July 8th and your event coordinator went unresponsive is what warranted the call for clarity yet again. And it seems that both you and your event coordinator are on the same page when it comes to telling the customer to make sure we have a great time at the event and not to worry about logistics leading up to it. So, you wanted us to put trust in the fact that everything would work itself out, but your business has made that impossibly hard to do.
