If you're tired of bars with bros and sorority sluts try this bar. Smiling Skull Saloon is…read moresomewhere they wouldn't be caught dead in. This bar seems to have mostly townies. It gets loud and crass. They don't take sass and will knock you on your ass if you get all high and mighty. It looks a lot like a typical biker bar. It refers to itself as a saloon rather than a bar. This means it feels like somewhere to get rowdy. It's not so crazy in the middle of the day. Patrons are mostly half conscious and in a stupor. If you want to witness some hell raising, go later. This isn't quite like Sons of Anarchy, but the bikers can be a little scary. Just don't piss them off and you'll be okay. There's a pool table that's fun to get in on. It's a good place for cheap beer and cocktails. Patrons can look scary but are usually not looking to fight. This is one of the best bars to catch musicians.

Cats Eye is no doubt the best bar in Athens. No question about it. The folks that wrote bad reviews…read moreare absolutely wrong. Maybe hangoversperhaps they are competitors. The owner is an absolute gem. He actually hangs and actually cares about his patrons. The bartenders are amazing. They are friendly, energetic, and they pour great drinks. I graduated 50 years ago and although there are many options on Court Street, Cats Eye is at the top of the list. Whenever I return to the magical city of Athens, CATS EYE and its staff just add to my love for this beautiful town in southeast Ohio. Thank you to all that work there. Forever in my heart. Th. My toast to the finest folks in town. Can't wait till my next visit with 12 ALUM from Sergeant Hall from 1975. We will be there on April 24 to April 27. Party time
