Steak frites
Lindsay S.

While visiting Athens on a work trip, I was craving a good meal. A friend suggested Trappeze, mentioning it was one of the best restaurants in the area. I was sat in the bar area. The server/bartender was awesome, very attentive. I got a glass of wine, french onion soup and the steak frites. Everything was delicious. The steak was a nice size and the blue cheese-truffle fries were very yummy. Next time I'm in the area I'll be back to order the same meal!

Bangers and mash
Riley H.

Good food and drinks. Inside is modern and clean. Got the mash and bangers and it was a ton of mash potatoes and not a lot of duck sausage. Waitress was a little slow for how quiet the place was. Also had a waiter walk in to the women's bathroom without knocking ... that was really weird. He left upon seeing me hence how I know it was a mistake. Still odd and uncomfortable.

I came for a rehearsal dinner. We had a private room and the food was buffet style. The appetizers were sliders, buffalo chicken dip, veggies, and fries. The main course was salmon, Mac and cheese, meat, (looked like a roast), salad, rolls, and roasted potatoes. There were also mixed drinks. The food was good except for the mac and cheese. It was lacking flavor. The staff was friendly and no one had any complaints. I don't like in Athens but if I had the opportunity, I would give them another try.

Red dragon cheese plate
Christine W.

I ordered a Red Dragon Cheese Plate. It was delicious! One of the cheeses was better (I believe it was the paler one). Lots of variety, and I liked the jam on the board, too. Service was fine, ambiance was pretty lowkey.

Not exactly blue cheese fries, but damn good fries with some cheese droppings?
Michelle D.

Let's start with the service at the bar - phenomenal! I'll likely massacre the spellings here, but Nico and Izland were amazing! Nico was fairly new, but had a great spin on cocktails and humored me taking a gin & jam drink and sub bourbon since I don't like gin, and it was fantastic to the point I was disappointed I didn't make it back over the weekend for another. We had a burger and some bar food, which is pretty much our jam. The blue cheese fries left a tad to be desired as I am accustomed to more cheese and likely a sauce, but the fries themselves were tasty and it came with a choice of dipping sauce, so no trauma. The jam with the pimento cheese was the star of the show (hence the drink order). Now the true test to a restaurant is how they handle it when something goes wrong, and someone got distracted and the lamb burger was nearly a hockey puck when it came out. Nico was on it, took it back to the kitchen with all the apologies and we were presented with a replacement that was perfectly cooked. It was super tasty with the onions and toppings to the point that we didn't even care there was not a gluten free option. Bathrooms were immaculate, as was everything, and the bar area very inviting. It's one of those menus where anyone can find something and will absolutely be a go to upon our next return. Thanks guys!!

Chicken wings in Cheerwine sauce
Stacie B.

One of our favorite spots in downtown. Lots of seating, great service, and several unique and delicious dishes. To start, you have to try the Cheerwine Wings. They are one of the best and most unique things I've had in Athens to-date. Perfect flavoring. A bit pricy, so that's the only downside as I could probably eat an almost endless amount based on the flavor. Otherwise we've had the fish, chicken sandwich and several other dishes--all of which have been very flavorful and cooked perfectly. This is a great lowkey spot to enjoy a casual dinner in downtown.

Veggie burger
Kandus J.

This place was absolutely incredible!! We had a few choices but this spot just sounded delicious. We definitely picked right! They have an incredible veggie burger that was absolute perfection!! The garlic fries hit the damn spot & the cocktails were refreshing as well. Our server wasn't terrible but she definitely didn't seem happy or have a personality. Everyone can have bad days though. Either way, check this spot out!

Chickpea Burger, fries, and tomato soup
Edmund G.

Dined on a Friday evening at approximately 5pm. They got real busy right after our arrival. We had boiled peanuts, tomato soup, burgers, wine, and mixed drinks. The service was excellent and all of the food and drinks were outstanding. We will definitely return when we are back in the area.

Pub burger Belgian fries
Candace B.

A friend and I were in Athens for a concert recently and we stopped by Trappeze to eat dinner beforehand. I had the pub burger and my friend had a burger as well but with no bun (since she's allergic to gluten.) I loved the burger but it was pretty messy though. It was definitely falling apart by the time I was finishing it. I think it tasted great but I just kinda wish the greens on the burger weren't all over the place and that it was easier to eat lol. I was a fan of the fries. Our server took some time bringing back our receipts when we were waiting to leave, but I still think the service was pretty good overall. The inside area of the restaurant had a pretty cool vibe. My friend and I were happy with our visit and I'm sure I'll be back at some point

Chicken Bacon Ranch with Fries and Garlic Aioli
Emma H.

This restaurant has always been one of my favorites. It is always crowded, but I rarely have to wait. The staff is always extremely friendly and takes great care of me, making sure that my drinks are full and never rushing the table even when it is busy. The food never disappoints. They have great sandwich options and the fries are amazing with the garlic aioli. I almost always stick with a sandwich, but the nachos are also great. I can always make two meals out of it as well. I always choose Trappeze for a catch up or an evening out!

View of the dining room from our table
Alison R.

We found this lunch spot on our walk through downtown Athens and boy were we thrilled to find it! The style and furnishings drew us in and the menu made is get a table. We arrived mid afternoon so we were the only ones in the dining room but by the time we left the place was filling up. We ordered a turkey & swiss on sourdough, a chicken bacon ranch on focaccia and a grilled cheese BLT on sourdough. We all enjoyed the vibe inside and wished we had the place back home. The flavors were magnificent, the freshness of the food was noticeable and the combination of ingredients was on trend for today's standard. Despite being full, we were tempted by the chalkboard list of freshly added pies. We figured we are on vacation and should enjoy every moment of Athens. So we ordered a Key Lime Pie slice and a Chocolate Peanut Butter pie slice. Both were so creamy and rich it was absolutely Devine! We cannot wait to go back and try more delights from their menu! This place was fantastic!

Y'all have TV so we can watch the Georgia Bulldogs?

Yes, we have TV coverage throughout the dining room!

Are small (pug) dogs allowed with outdoor eating?

Hi Susie! Of course, we love dogs here! While we only allow service animals inside, our patio is open to dogs of all shapes and sizes. Hope to see you soon, cheers!

Is it impossible to get a table in the restaurant on a Friday night if you don't have a reservation?? Went to go make a reservation for tomorrow but I was too late so wondering if I should just stop by and try anyways?

In my experience, not impossible! I went a couple of Fridays ago and didn't have a reservation. We went around 7. I've been many times and it's been busy, but have never had to wait. I highly recommend going-- it's great.

How late is the kitchen open?

The kitchen is open until 10 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday evenings, and until 11 p.m. Thursday through Saturday!

Any happy hours?

Hi Jesse! We currently offer a $2 half pour of a featured beer Monday through Friday until 3:30pm as well as brunch drink specials on Sundays from 11am until 3:30pm!… Read more

Great little divey place for Cincinnati-style chili and sandwiches &…read more beer choices are good. Locals know it well -it's been serving the neighborhoods around Normaltown for decades-and it looks the part., Food: 5 stars for their Cincinnati-style chili on French fries , by the bowl, or with hotdogs. Sandwiches are always good size and tasty. We like their Reuben and Rachel as well as the various BLT's. Food is a strong point. Service : Staff are very pleasant and the service is quick. Facility: 2- star (Sorry-but it's true) Old interior, but they have attempted to keep it serviceable. The bathrooms are a good reason to use hand sanitizer instead of washing your hands, IMHO. Lots of various beer cans for decor. Location: Very conveniently located on main thoroughfare just outside Athens in Normaltown between the hardware store and the Mexican restaurant. A few parking spaces on the street, more in the rear.

The fries are hand cut and perfectly seasoned. Last time I was here, I had their chili and I will admit, it's better than mine! That's saying a lot! Great beer selection of local brews. The staff behind the bar is very friendly and attentive. The only downside is that parking is not great with street parking is the only option. It was worth circling the block a few times before I got a spot! Can't wait to try another one of their awesome comfort food specialties!

Not even sure where to begin to describe the awesomeness that is the Manhattan. Well first off,…read moreit's dimly lit with some retro lamps, light fixtures and scattered Xmas lights. There seems to not be any open space and the walls and ceiling are both pretty much covered with trinkets. There's little 8" vinyl records hanging from the ceiling, along with beads and various other indescribable pieces of art thrown in here and there. Mismatched tables, chairs, booths and couches are tucked throughout the inside of the bar. There's also a straight up bar seating area, which I totally love and is the best place to chat with random local folks. Part of the charm of the Manhattan is that you can totally go in by yourself, sit at the bar and end of meeting lots of interesting people. I was so glad to see that this had not changed a bit since I had been away for 6 years. Second only to my love of dives bars, is popcorn. And this popcorn machine really comes through after a long night drinking in a little dive like this. Even though there are windows, this bar is always dark (just how I like em) and you just lose track of all time. I was just there during winter break & was pretty jazzed to see a ton of hot rum and whisky cocktails. Perfect since it was super cold out. The Manhattan was always one of my fav & deliciously divey downtown drinking spots and so glad to see it still is.

The Manhattan Cafe is a cozy dive bar in downtown Athens…read more It's not much to look at from the outside. If anything, it looks a little sketchy from the outside given the bars on the window, but it's not a sketchy place at all. Believe me when I say this. I stopped in on a Monday night for a nightcap. It was nice and quiet, which is exactly what I was looking for that particular evening, the following day being a travel day for me. As you can see from my pics, it's a nice little place. Drink prices were very reasonable, and the bartending was very good, too. I will happily stop in again when I return to Athens next year. Cheers!
