Had a few beers, grabbed takeout, in

I had the best experience last night and planned to go by there again before we headed back to Nashville. Sadly, I just discovered the place closes at 4 today. To say I’m devastated is an understatement. That should speak to how amazing the food, drinks, and staff were! Easy 5 stars.

Old Black Bear Brewing Athens offers a welcoming atmosphere and a variety of delicious dishes. The beer is good, and the service is excellent. The Rueben sandwich and sweet potato fries remain standout favorites, while the hot chicken sandwich is considered mediocre. Newer options like the American burger and the 16oz ribeye steak have garnered praise, with many guests noting the flavorful hamburger and perfectly cooked steak. The fried green tomatoes, pimento cheese, and large pretzel with beer cheese are also highlights. Other popular choices include the Parmesan Crusted Chicken with pasta, the Brewhouse burger with loaded fries, and the raspberry donut cheesecake for dessert. Guests appreciate the fair prices and generous portions, noting the cozy, inviting vibe that feels more homey than a typical sports bar. The staff, including a lovely brunette bar hostess, are attentive and friendly, often going out of their way to make guests feel special. Visitors often mention that this restaurant has become their go-to spot for good food and a great atmosphere in Athens.
