Today I tried Peach Melba at the server's suggestion and it was lovely. Not sweet, but tasty. A crafting group was meeting there because it was the 2nd Sunday of the month. They were just as sweet as they could be, working on their individual projects, sipping tasty cider. This year, West End was added to the Bobcat Brew Trail, a must do for alums.

First off: the cocktails are unmatched! I've traveled all over the world and lived in major cities…read moreand these are hands-down the best. And very, very affordable. The bartenders have become my husband and I's friends and we love being regulars in this cute, historical, friendly bar. The ambiance is amazing and the whole vibe is artsy and cool. This is a community safe-space and I love it for that. The beer garden out back is cute for summer days. The front patio is perfect for people-watching. The cider is delicious and this is more of as non-college bar, which this almost 40-something appreciates. This is truly the best bar I've ever been to!

Awesome place. Great bar to hang out and just meet the locals. Been there manny times.read more

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.

Visited this establishment once during a Sunday brunch and loved the environment. The ambiance of…read morethe place was cozy and welcoming. The customer service was exceptional. The food was really tasty and comforting, however my only issue are the prices of buffet. That's the only reason I'm giving 4 stars. (Plus I can't quite give 4.5, otherwise they'd get 4.5 stars rather than 4.) If it's in your affordability, I'd recommend stopping for a bite with your family or group of friends. (Note: The roasted brussel sprouts & little flaky danishes are DELICIOUS!)

It was my first time visiting eclipse. The atmosphere felt very homey and there was someone playing…read morelive music. The service was good seated quick on a high top and the server got our orders in fast and the food was out as well. The Mac n cheese eggrolls were new and interesting. Outside was crispy and crunchy and you bite into a soft Mac n cheese pieces. I ordered the my first rodeo sandwich. It came with chicken, bacon, jalapeños, and the side of vegetables for the sandwich lettuce, tomatoes, onion. The chips are their speciality homemade kettle chips. Those were savory and crunchy. I think they can do a better job with sharing daily specials for the food I know they specialize in beer but I did not try any. Server jumped quick into starting us with drinks. Especially for a tourist like me there should be a welcome since this is a very dandy spot to have a restaurant. So service was a 2/5 food was a 3/5.

The Overhang is a bar on Court Street. It's unlike many of the other pieces of shit in Athens. They…read moreare a bit more clean, and it's got not as much of a sterile feel like many others. It's got a better atmosphere and music. This feels more like a hipster kind of place than a lot of the bro bars there. I like it more than many other bars in Athens. It's got some cheap specials like PBR for $1.50. The Bloody Mary is also good, and that's great because it's not even close to my favorite cocktail. It also has food but it looks like typical bar things. The music really gets loud. It's not a place for a conversation. This seriously has to be the cleanest bar in town. It's good to know there's a chance you won't get hepatitis. That's good enough to get me in. I would go to The Overhang the next time in town. It's clean and unlike Broney's they actually have a good atmosphere. This is a good hipster bar so be aware of that.

The fish sandwich was impressive but the "loaded" nachos and cubes-of-buffalo-chicken salad were lame. They need to crank up their fare to match their decor. Good beer selection and TVs all around. Looks like they have a live band setup too.

The food was great. The service was great. It was very busy inside as this was an event weekend, but that did not make the experience negative in any way.

Casa Cantina is a great bar and is better than others in Athens, but this is not cheap. In fact it…read morecan be extremely expensive. This is a bit too much for a college town bar. It's for sure a place to take a guest or have a classier evening. The worst part is the prices, but it's still better service than the restaurant side. Casa Cantina began in 1993 when the Casa Nueva employees expanded to a full service bar. The infused vodka cocktails are what its best known for. I have only been only to try a few beverages here since it can be costly. The blueberry mojito is the best. It's sweet and tangy. The margaritas are good if kind of watery. A glass is about $5 to $6, while a pitcher is about $20 to $30. There's also premium and super premium margarita that use higher quality liquor. Among the vodka infused cocktails, I most liked the cucumber gimlet. This is about $5, with cucumber infused vodka, lime juice, and simple syrup. Another good drink is the Ohio Mule. This is about $5, with Buckeye Vodka, Reed's Ginger Brew, and lime juice. Casa Cantina has a limited menu of some items from Casa Nueva. The house made salsas are kick ass. The black bean is garlicy, and the habanero is burning hot. I am a supporter of independently owned companies so I want to like this. It's run by people who care but may not have a lot of experience. This is worth a return because it's still a good place for chilling and enjoying a margarita or an infused vodka.

I've been to Casa several times, on this visit I just stopped in for a drink. The bar is a…read morethree-sided, wrap around affair that was already busy when I walked in at 5pm on a Wednesday. The dining room was already on a wait at that point in the evening. I ordered a Manhattan, it came on the rocks, I probably would have had it up if the bartender had asked, but it was fine. They have a special menu for the bar, it looked to be on the expensive side. Casa has great food, but it is not cheap. There is a stage and a mirror ball and a small PA, it would be a fun place to see a band. I hear my beloved Phantods have played Casa. It seems as friendly and tasty and as expensive as I remember it. Definitely worth a look if you're in Athens for more than a day.

I went here once for an early Thursday dinner and this place had me pleased. The staff were…read moreattentive and polite, and the food I had was done in a way that was as timely as it was delicious. The BBQ sauce especially amplified the quality and taste of the pulled pork sandwich I had. I only went by myself to check it out but the general atmosphere of the place is an inviting and exciting one that encourages you to interact with anyone that goes with you. Overall, the Pigskin is a classic restaurant to the city of Athens if not Athens County as a whole. I am sure to come back, I'll just have to bring some friends and family when I do.
