My wife ordered French onion soup it came and looked awesome, unfortunately it wasn't even hot! She reluctantly sent it back to be heated, what came back amazed both of us, sill not hot. I was amazed when the waiter say the almost full bowl and he didn't even ask if he could get her something else. So disappointed in Service and Food. On the other hand my burger was awesome. The staff needs a little more training. read more

I ate there on Friday and the food was amazing, tori was my server and she was a sweetheart, loved her so much! I would definitely recommen!

Great first time experience at Trappeze Pub. We were walk up diners and they were able to accommodate us once all parties arrived. This gave us a chance to have a round of drinks at the bar. The bar service was speedy and friendly. The beer selection is a nice combo of craft beers and pin standards. I liked that there were no mass produced beers, forcing folks to branch out to actually good tasting craft beers and ciders. My favorites were the Founders Breakfast Stout and the Treehorn Dry Cider. We were seated in a booth in the back. The seats were wood benches, but we had ample space for our party of five. Our server/food guide was Kenzie who made the experience amazing. She was friendly, lots of fun, and an outstanding menu guide for foodies. Favorites we had included the pimento cheese appetizer (amazing), the blue cheese plate, the tomato bisque, the steak frites, the fries (and all three sauces), and burger, and the key lime pie. All were outstanding! We have a new Athens favorite. We will be back and will ask for Kenzie every time! read more

We were a party of 8 and 5 of those were my family. We were seated really quickly which was great. The service was slow but tolerable. We ordered pimento cheese and nachos as the appetizers. Both were good but the nachos are odd. They come with shredded carrot (strange) and more chopped vegetable toppings than cheese and meat combined. They were good but odd and not amazing. I ordered the pork belly tacos and they had very little filling. The pork belly was neither tasty or good really. It was kind of chewy. The fries were incredible though. We also had the pimento burger which was good not great according to one of my daughters. My other daughter ordered the Turkey and Swiss and said it was huge and good. Again not great and a little dry. My youngest ordered Buffalo wings and fries and felt she ordered the best item. My husband ordered the chicken bacon ranch sandwich. It was small and definitely had more bread than chicken. All five of us agree the fries saved the meal. Here is the most perplexing thing that happened. My youngest ordered a Shirley Temple. Instead of the red/pink color it was blackberry colored. She tried it and it was sour not sweet. Not carbonated either. We clarified that it was a Shirley Temple and they brought another and this was one was even worse and extremely bitter. If they couldn't make one, that's one thing but at least say so. I'm not sure what they were making but it definitely wasn't a Shirley Temple. I'd eat there again if someone really wanted to but for the price, I'd rather go somewhere else and get better food. read more

The food, service, and drinks are top notch. This used to be 2 businesses with a separate bar that served the best drinks in town. Now it's all 1 establishment and drinks are still awesome. They serve local beers and some international ones. The dipping sauces for fries are all excellent. The rib sandwich is like a real McRib with an actual partial rack of ribs with the bones pulled out. My wife loves the cheese plates. Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Great food and service. Food is always consistently quality and prepared perfectly. Try their clam chowder and their turkey Swiss Sammy. You won't be sorry. read more

Their beer selection is quite nice and I'm positive everyone in your party will find something they like. My colleague and I both got chicken sandwiches and they were just what we were expecting. Sitting at the bar allowed us to chat with the bartenders and receive excellent service. Being a slow Monday night made watching the football game a relaxing endeavor. Will be keeping this place on the short list. read more

We always enjoy coming here. Great beer and drink selection, unique appetizers like boiled peanuts and belgian fries, and awesome atmosphere. They have high quality farm to table meats and delicious entrees. the service is always fast and friendly. read more

The food was amazing and service was incredible. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. the raspberry ketchup is 10/10!! will be coming back read more

My son and I came in here based on recommendations. French fries. We had heard they were great here. But oh my goodness. They were amazing. We ordered some as a starter with blue cheese on it and the blue cheese dipping sauce. I could have just eaten these and been a totally happy camper. They were hot and full of flavor and the dipping sauce that came with them was incredible. There were also a few other dipping sauces that you could have chosen but we were so glad we went with the blue cheese sauce. I ordered the Springer chicken breast that had ham and cheese in it and came with green beans and potatoes. Very very tasty. My son ordered a chicken sandwich that came with more fries. He also thoroughly enjoyed his meal. The portion sizes were generous and after having the french fries as a starter we both took half of our meal home with us. Our server was very attentive and made sure that we had everything that we needed. We had a delightful time here and I look forward to coming back soon. And I am sure I will be dreaming about those Belgian fries until I return. read more

I have eaten most of the menu and I have had only one dish that wasn't the best. The trout is bland so I say don't order that unless you want something very very mild. The lamb burger is phenomenal and so are the fish and chips. Get the garlic aioli with the fries it is awesome. The service is great with really great drinks. You can bring the family or just a good date night. read more

Easy place to grab a bite & good service. Varied menu. I was slightly disappointed with my ramen salad - I didn't realize it would be crumbled crunchy uncooked ramen - I thought it would be cooked & that the salad would be a little more Asian. read more

A good bar with a eclectic vibe. The food in this place is like an upscale bar bites... from good salads, very well portioned sandwiches and amazing fries; I would say that I've ordered fries many times only to eat them with the very tasty sauces :) A good place to come with friends and have a good time, the service is very attentive and fast. Their menu of beers and wines is really good... you can even ask for a beer taster. My suggestion... try the Fried Chicken sandwich... it is so greasy, moist and juicy... you will love it. read more

andreas is awesome!!! such amazing service and so nice. He made sure to bring everything out so fast and was so personable.

We ate here the day before the UGA vs UAB game. This is a family friendly environment and the service was nice and friendly. We started with the boiled peanuts - they were yummy! We all enjoyed the fries and the raspberry ketchup was a pleasant surprise. I had the Carolina dip chicken sandwich- it was not my thing, very sweet and I also did not care for the slaw that was on it. One of my sons had the lamb burger and he said it was tender and cooked well. Youngest had the pub burger and other than being a little under cooked he said it was good. Hubby had the jalapeño burger and had no complaints. Drinks: Peach Bum Sangria - it was good, but too much fruit and very little drink for $13.00. Woodchuck Blueberry and Stillwater dry were good, but again pricey. read more

I stopped in for dinner on a Monday night. It was packed, but the hostess was able to seat me at a decent enough two top. I wasn't very hungry, so I ordered a bowl of the tomato bisque with a side of fries. The tomato bisque was good, but I didn't care for the fries. Bad night? In any event, I've had much better fries elsewhere in downtown Athens. After I was informed my first two beer choices were out, I settled on a German Pilsner that was just OK. My server , Layne, did a great job though. Would I return? The Magic 8 Ball says Hazy. Cheers! read more

Unusual experience at Trappeze Pub yesterday. Started off with lunch with friends and I had the chicken dip sandwich, which had the best sweet/spicy sauce on it that I've ever had. Fries were great too as well as the raspberry ketchup (yep!). Beer was great, service was just awesome with the best waitress in a long time. Great attitude! Sweet and courteous. A 5-star experience for sure. Then, after a day of touring Athens, we end up back there, late, for a quick snack/drink to wrap up the day. Completely indifferent staff/waitress, food was OK but overcooked my burger. Fries were good. Just weird how a place can change in a few hours. Different shift management? Different cooks in the kitchen? 3-star at best. I'll avg the day to be fair. We'll go back, for sure, but I'll target the lunch crew....for sure. read more

Great meal today here. Food was excellent and we loved our server Brett. Great personality and very attentive!

Brett was a great server! My work friends and I always love to come here for lunch! Our food came out quickly and was amazing as always. The fries are our favorite item to order. We will definitely be back! read more

Turkey Swiss was amazing, best sandwich I could ever have, waiters are nice, atmosphere is 10/10, best restaurant I have been too in Georgia, insane!! read more

LOVE this place. We like to go here for any occasion or just casual lunch or dinner. The fries and all of the sauces are fantastic, highly recommend getting all three fry sauces. I personally love the grilled cheese blt or the burgers, but the parmesan crusted chicken is fantastic if you want something heavier. The service and drinks are always great, too. read more

I had the most delicious lunch yesterday. I had the sesame crunch salad with tofu with a side of sweet potato fries and aïoli sauce. I can't wait to go back. The service was fantastic. Kate was a doll and so sweet and friendly. Quick service and the best food ever. I highly recommend. read more

Great food, friendly servers and relaxed atmosphere. Recommend the burger and fries.

I came to Trappeze with friends for a quick late dinner in Athens. There's always parking in Athens in one of the decks and we just walked over. The menu is mostly typical bar food but it's prepared super well. I had buffalo tofu and asian pork tacos with the garlic aioli since they were out of raspberry ketchup. The tacos were cooked super well (the buffalo taco was probably my favorite!). The fries were DELICIOUS!! They have printed everywhere that the fries are award-winning and they really do live up to the hype! Our drinks were also really solid. Our table had the Trappeze Mai Tai and the Garden Party. Both were so yummy and were mixed perfectly. Overall, Athens has a lot of great food spots and Trappeze is definitely one of them! read more

Great place in downtown Athens for a burger and fries. Lamb burger was excellent, with a side of fries with their signature raspberry ketchup. Beer choices aplenty. Only thing I've had lackluster are the wings, which need to be crispier and more flavorful. read more

They do not answer their phone, called dozens of times and never got a hold of a staffer. This wouldn't be an issue if they had reservations online for larger parties but they don't. Easy way to lose my business read more

Great find, and a definite must visit when in Athens. I was struggling with my choice l, but I asked the waiter what his opinion was. I was in between the Chicken Bacon Ranch, the Pub burger and the lamb Jam. He guided me towards the lamb jam. It was phenomenal. Cooked perfectly, could've been seasoned a bit more. The bread was great and it was accompanied by arugula, garlic aoili, and bacon. They also had hand cut string fries, which were amazing. They let you choose two of their special sauces and I chose raspberry ketchup snd garlic aoili. The aoili really just tasted like Mayo, but the Rasberry Ketchup was fire. It had a little spice which I didn't expect, but it was fire. Definitely will be back, interesting menu, a lot looks good, and they have rotating deserts and other seasonal items. 5/5 read more

Excellent food, drinks and service! Blue cheese plate was excellent and smooth as silk. Kenzie, our Waitress. was excellent . Fulfilled some somewhat difficult menu requests with ease. She was always pleasant and resourceful. Hooray for the Trapeze! read more

They are never open. We call for lunch pickup and they are never there. Very sad. Also stinks it costs $20 for a chicken Caesar salad.

Enjoyable gastropub in downtown Athens. Went for lunch on a Saturday. I had the Turkey & Swiss sandwich and it had tons of flavor, the fresh avacado really made the sandwich. I also substituted the mustard on the side for their russian dressing (it was awesome!). Only thing that I didn't care for was that the bread was grilled, but only ever so slightly toasted, which gave it a stale-like texture. The belgian fries were the overall star of the show. Simply amazing fries!! Good lineup of craft beers and cocktails. Some outside (sidewalk) dining is available. Daniel was an excellent server for us!! read more

The Food is so good. Service and atmosphere are great too. I was so happy to find vegan options on the menu. The vegan reuben was so amazing and the sweet potato fries are a must, but the real star of the show is the raspberry ketchup!! Definitely one of new favs in Athens! read more

Trappeze Pub - Vegan Reuben with sweet potato fries - Bars Near Me - Athens, Georgia

This place is pretty good. It's not go out of your way to get here. But it overall has everything you want in a decent bar with decent food. First time there I had the Pimento Cheese appetizer which is the first time I've ever eaten Pimento Cheese. And I gotta be honest I just don't see what y'all like this stuff so much for! It feels like it needs to be baked or served hot and melty. It doesn't float my boat though. I also had the ahi street tacos which were really good. The service lagged a little per usual down here in the south. What I mean is that I've been in the south for 17 years and it's finally ceased to amaze me when the server lets you sit for 10 minutes without as much as an acknowledgment. I've worked in a few different restaurants and pubs. And the one thing they pounded home was timing. 3 minute greet time. 7 minute drink time. Apps next. Dinner order and check drinks. And keeping an eye without hovering so that you can respond when there is a need or an issue. I've had too many experiences down here that made me feel like I was an inconvenience. Fortunately that wasn't the case here. But there is definitely room for improvement especially in timing. All in all the place itself is pretty hip and well designed with lots of ambiance and things to catch your eye. The door that you walk in the through is a cool looking way oversized refurbished factory door that makes you feel like this is the place to be. Nice details in the furnishings and floors as well as the artwork. I would be happy to give four stars with improved consistent service. read more

We went here on a whim before a hockey game. Service was quick. I had caleb. he was very warming and nice. I got the pazole which was fire! my husband got the steak frite and I got the strawberry walnut salad. He raved over his steak. I absolutely loved my salad! The atmosphere was so chill and it was fun. we wanted to stay! I tried his blue cheese fries and they were great! we will be back. read more

We ate outside with some customers for dinner The food and service was very good Even though it was crowded the wait staff was great There were 5 of us and they got our food out quickly which was great and it was very good Also they have a great local beer selection also you must try the French fries they are awesome Would definitely go back again if I am in the area Cheers! read more

Our niece who will be graduating UGA next month recommended Trappeze on our visit to Athens. We were sorry they were out of the boiled peanuts but loved the hot beignets and pimento cheese appetizers. Very flavorful with the sauces. I had a jalapeño burger which was topped with a fried egg - great flavor and filling. I was slightly disappointed in the French fries that were overcooked and with lots of small pieces. Service was on point and the food came out quickly. Sunday they have a brunch menu with several options including a delicious French toast dish with fresh fruit. Overall Trappeze was a good dining experience. read more

Trappeze Pub - Really cool ceiling fan. Literally and figuratively. - Bars Near Me - Athens, Georgia

It was... ok. Soggy fries with barely cooked garlic and whole rosemary leaves. French onion soup with a slice of greasy food service cheese on the top. The beer was certainly good, but not better than it would be anywhere else in town. The waitress was nice, and the instant checkout is certainly convenient. But at $77 for apps and beer for two, I wouldn't come back. It's a shame, because the food at Trappeze used to be genuinely good (pre-pandemic). Maybe they are having staffing problems and things will improve? Here's hoping! read more

Lamb burger was mediocre at best fries were crumbs on both orders. Various people bringing drinks kept sitting them in the middle of our menus while we were reading them! Spilling water as well. Salad brought out with no silverware, couldn't get anybody's attention to get silverware. Very loud place. Not a place worth circling back. read more

Loved the food here! Seriously, need to try more. However the beer selection was sparse then when I ordered a beer it was a half pour of what I ordered bc they ran out of that beer. Additionally, we were waited on way after we were seated and the table next to us that got there about 10 minutes after us got waited on well before us. I'll go back but I'd want better service! read more
