32 Best Bars in Athens

“Good vibe to the bar! Staff is always friendly and patrons are nice to!!!“

“Saw the Melvins twice at the 40 Watt! ❤️“

“Delicious food- the pimento cheese/bacon jam starter is AMAZING. The service was great too- we had a large group and they were so welcoming and kind!“

“Wonderbar has been my go-to spot since moving to Athens! The specialty cocktails are always a hit—you have to try the Starburst shot. The place is packed with entertainment: video games, arcade games, table games, and theme nights!

Also Wonderbar might just have the cleanest bathroom in all of downtown Athens.

Whether you’re local or just visiting, Wonderbar is definitely worth checking out!“

“One of the oldest and coolest places in Athens. About 80 single malts.“

“Well it’s during peak ‘Rona times so don’t get too excited“

“Always have a good time when we come hang out here.“

“Great place to hangout with your friends, great service from the bartenders, and great music! What more could you ask for? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR FAMILIES“

“Jake was a great server and the food was amazing!! It is no shock that their fries are winning awards!!“

“Just normal, not showy, no Aires, just pleasant and simple. Great for a first date“

“Best dive bar in Georgia.“

“Finished up 3 nights of DBT Heathens Homecoming at the 40 watt club, next door at Flicker. I got their drink called “Dr. Zhivago” (an espresso martini) with a bit of a twist with the help of my favorite bartender, Jeanie. She was so fun and accommodating so I now call that drink the “Jeanie-tini” Thank Jeanie! You’re the best!“

“Been going to this bar for a while, only problem I've ever had is not being able to get an old fashion here because they don't have bitters. People say it's racist, redneck, or a bunch of "aggressive idiots" are clearly the kind of people to judge without spending some actual time there. Give it a chance, talk to the staff and people who go there, hangout and listen to country for a bit. I can promise you this, while there may be little things, you won't be entirely disappointed.“

“Vibes galore. Things I love: aesthetic, service, NA cocktails, perfect aperol spritz ratio, nonnas bread, meatballs, arancini. What a sweet little place. Can’t wait to come back. The server at the bar was so delightful, let us be silly and chatted a bit. Just good vibes all around.“

“Visiting from out of town and wish I found this place sooner. It's a great place to get a drink (or NA/THC/CBD beverage) and catch up with a pal or even hang out and read.

Good vibes, cool music, and loads of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating options. Kind and attentive bartender. Very reasonable prices.

Stop here when you need a fratboy free watering hole in Athens!“

“I went at a pretty slow time for a quick lunch and was very happy with my sandwich! The Magic Mushroom as a Pinner was packed full, a perfect portion, toasted well and made promptly. The service was friendly and the place was clean and inviting. I've had them before via food apps but they're definitely worth getting in person and supporting directly. I'll be back!“

“Always a favorite! Go Dawgs!“

“safe bar ! nice drink! latin music sometime ! fun people! happy bartenders!“

“The Georgia Theater in Athens, Georgia is a very good place to enjoy live music. The acoustics are very good, and they book both local and national acts. I've seen Tab Benoit, Samantha Fish, Bonnie Raitt, Randall Bramblett, Amos Lee, Robert Cray, JJ Cale, Lake Street Dive, and many other talented bands. Unfortunately, there are only 100 bar stools for seating.“

“I've been coming to bad moon for a while now Andrew the owner possibly the best guy I met downtown every time I coming there I'm treated like family immediately respected super safe environment great place to party or just sit back and chill they were featured in the top 10 bars downtown everyone there is treated like family when you come in the drinks are wonderful and get better through the night it's just an awesome vibe great environment everyone should come if you don't know you need to it's the best bar in Athens“

“i met a boy here in march 1994 and we immediately got married . 31yrs♥️“

“No food, no bottle service, no frills, nothing pretentious. Bourbon Street isn’t trying to be anything but what it is.... and what it is it does very well. Right on the edge of the UGA campus, it’s Divey, loud, crowded, with great music, dancing, beer specials, beer pong, always showing sports... I’ve been to Bourbon Street many times, since it opened nearly 20 years ago. The times have changed, and I’ve grown older and my tastes have changed as well. But this UGA bar has pretty much stayed the same. Guess when you have a good formula, you stick with it...“

“One of my favorite bars (: love the staff everyone is awesome there.“

“The legacy continues from Athens to Monroe, I don’t care if you go for the food, the spirits or the vibe, it’s not to be missed!“
