Worst liquor store in Athens Georgia, which is saying a lot because there's so many. Employees are…read morebeyond rude. In particular the old white man behind the counter. Perry's is less than a 3 minute drive from my house. The next closest liquor store is 13 minutes away. Moving forward I will happily take my business an extra 10 minutes down the road. Informing my entire fraternity to take their business elsewhere.

I lived just down the street from Perry's for the last year that I lived in Athens. As most Athens…read moreresidents will attest, most of the neighborhood liquor stores are not so well stocked and/or sketchy. Generally, they're for last minute emergencies only. While Perry's does not measure up to the ABC, it is much nicer and has a much better selection that most other liquor stores in Athens. Given the severe lack of liquor stores in the downtown/north Athens area, Perry's is a godsend. The interior is clean and nice and the staff is friendly and accommodating-- If they don't stock a particular item, they'll be happy to order it for you, especially if they recognize you as a regular. So all you Downtown/Bridgewater/Retreat/Campus Lodge Residents, give Perry's a try if you don't already know the glory!

Every time I go, just to run in because it's close, I leave smelling, well, putrid. Tonight was the last straw. Not only was it the usual overdose of heavy handed incense but I swear they somehow managed to combine that scent with the nastiness of dirty diapers. It was all I could do to make it to the counter and run. If you are sensitive to foul odors, avoid this place at all costs. If not, and you don't mind paying a higher price for convenience , go for it. Excuse me while I puke...

I harshed this place based on a bad outing a couple of years ago on Valentine's Day…read more I ate there twice this trip. I had Shrimp and grits for lunch one time, and it did not disappoint. I think it's the best dish they serve, and I order it every time when I'm in town in Athens once a year. Order this with a fried egg on top and thank me later. Being solo and from out of town, I grabbed an early dinner at the bar upstairs, which is, frankly, a lot nicer than the downstairs dining room. The bone-in pork chop i ordered was very good but not mind blowing, but I enjoyed it along with its accompaniments, those being mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. It appeared they staffed up for Valentine's Day this year. There were three bartenders working the food and drink orders at the bar upstairs. I washed both meals down with sweet tea as one does. The service was great. Cheers!
