23 Best Bars in Augusta

“First time trying this place and overall we had a really good experience. Definitely a great spot for a date night! The ambiance and vibe were really nice.

The food is more tapas-style, so expect smaller portions. I ordered the cheeseburger sliders and they were really good, just a little smaller than I expected. We also ordered a couple of drinks and really enjoyed them.

Overall, great atmosphere, good food and drinks, and definitely a place I would come back to for another date night!“

“Wonderful experience as we dined for the first time at Abel Brown to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Service from Caleb was terrific, the complimentary glass of champagne and dessert a beautiful touch and the food delicious. Look forward to returning and hope it doesn't take another 25 years!! 😊“

“I highly recommend Ikonz Sportsbar & Grill for many reasons. Some of the best talent in comedy & music performs there regularly. The management and staff always friendly and like family. I always feel right at home and welcome every time I am there. Come out and see for yourself the next event!“

“enjoyed a great dinner tonight at Sheehan‘s Irish pub! The food was fantastic. Our waiter Dawson provided excellent service. and the owner checked on us several times. Was a wonderful night.“

“Tonight was our first night visiting the establishment for comedy night. The service was incredibly friendly and felt inviting. My husband and I got hookah and could customize our flavor. We did not order food, but I want to come back to try it out.I saw the table next to us order a burger and it looked DELICIOUS. As a native of Louisiana, I felt like I was home. The food looked 🔥 the service was immaculate, the daquiris were spot on. I can't ever find a good place that serves daquiris, but this place DELIVERED.“

“Amazing dining experience at Koi Hibachi and Sushi Restaurant! Fresh, creative sushi and expertly prepared hibachi dishes. Fun and attentive service, lively atmosphere. Highly recommend! 5 stars!“

“Had a great experience, per usual, and Tipsy's last Thursday where Brandi happened to be serving me. Went in after my own bartending shift to throw some darts at wall and shove some nachos in my face. Many new faces there, all the customers were happy, friendly and pleasant. We chose music together, shared laughs. No one was over served or belligerently drunk and it was a great way to wind down. At the end of the evening. I've also had Peyton and Gill serve me and it's always hugs, hellos, lemme finish pouring these drinks and I'll get to you... are you eating? Need a menu? Great little spot!!“

“Great place to hang out. Love the old building and atmosphere“

“Enjoyed the live music on Friday night. Nice staff. Everyone had a good time. Great music. The DJ set after was amazing too. Please bring back Chavonne and Tre Sounds!!“

“Always a favorite! Good sounds, good vibe.“

“Great Music, Amazing Drinks, Amazing Bartenders.“

“The business reception I attended here was really fun. I enjoyed the air hockey, skee-ball, and other arcade games. I don't really drink alcohol but they have a self-pour wall of taps and a full bar for cocktails and shots so it's a great spot for millennials looking for drinks and arcade nostalgia. Food was catered and was just okay so not really a great dining experience but that didn't effect the ratings because I believe customers are responsible for understanding the type of place their going to.“

“Love this place 🤙🏼 lately me and my buddy have been hopping from bar to bar trying to find a chill place where you can just enjoy a drink . And we found it . Place is lit , bartenders are great and respectful, along with any of the other staff that’s there . 10/10 if you wanna get a cheap pitcher and have a good time . Hit this place up.“

“First time in Augusta, ended up finishing work late and needed a drink so I googled hoping to find somewhere to grab a cold beer and a shot of titos,I was only there for about 20 minutes but I could feel the good vibes as soon as I entered. Will definitely make an effort to pop in again before I leave to go home.“

“homey feeling even for tourists....friendly staff...great drinks“

“Had a 10/10 experience for dinner. We didn’t have a reservation, which we can see why it is preferred, but the staff was still able to find us a table since we got there shortly after opening hours. Our server, Kiersten, was super friendly and knowledgeable with the menu and recommendations. I ordered the filet medium and it came out perfect! Appetizers, oysters, drinks, main course, and dessert were all phenomenal and we will definitely be back to dine again!“

“Not the same without Chante!!“

“One of my favorite places ever down here. I don’t drink much like I used to, but the prices of the non-alcoholic drinks alone, the cheap “basic drinks” and yummy drink specials make this worth a visit. Always a good time to go with friends, make new friends, and become more outgoing. If you’re an alternative person living here, it’s a must. 🩷“

“If Augusta had a town anthem, I’m convinced it would be sung over a plate of kimchi wings and a pint at Finch and Fifth. Let’s start with the basics. The food is consistently phenomenal. I’m talking close-your-eyes-and-hum-with-joy kind of phenomenal. Whether it’s the kimchi wings, those crispy little love letters to flavor, or that poutine with andouille sausage and beef (which honestly deserves its own zip code), every bite feels like the chef whispered, “This one’s for you,” before sending it out. Service? Top notch. Finch and Fifth doesn’t just offer curbside service, they offer to-curb service. Somehow, they know when you’ve pulled up and have your order ready before you’ve finished putting the car in park. It’s like they’ve tapped into the Holy Spirit of hospitality. Speaking of spirits, Jesus and JC are the kind of bartenders who make you feel like the Cheers theme song was written just for them. They remember your drink, your story, and probably your cousin’s favorite bourbon too. When they see me pull up, the glass is already frosted and waiting, like divine intervention but with better ice cubes. The management runs the place like a symphony, every plate, every pour, every smile hits its note just right. And the waitstaff? They don’t just work with each other, they move like a well-rehearsed dance troupe of kindness and efficiency. They treat everyone like family, the good kind of family, not the one that argues over Monopoly at Thanksgiving. Finch and Fifth isn’t just a restaurant. It’s an experience. It’s where the food has soul, the drinks have personality, and the people have heart. So if you ever find yourself in Augusta wondering where to eat, do yourself a favor. Go to Finch and Fifth. Order the kimchi wings or the poutine. Let Jesus or JC hand you your drink. And when you leave, you’ll understand why the locals don’t just eat there, they belong there.“

“I LOVE this place. The food is soo good (I typically get the wings w/ Allie Katz sauce) and the atmosphere is very friendly. It is a great place to relax, grab a drink or two and a bite to eat. The service is quick and the workers are extremely friendly. By far my favorite place in town.“
