“Took my father out for breakfast this morning and had the nicest server. She was super friendly and had a great recommendation on what to get. I had the breakfast burger and dad had the biscuit stack. The food was great and very generous portions. When we left, Dad forgot his cell phone on the table. We only knew that because our server came running out of the door as we got to our vehicle. Unfortunately, I didn't remember her name but we are very thankful and will definitely be back.“

“If you're longing for a slice of your college days and a spot with fantastic vibes, Red Brick Tavern is the place to be! The cheap drinks are a real deal. It's the kind of spot that transports you back to those carefree moments, creating an instant sense of nostalgia.The real gem of our visit, however, was our bartender, Brandon. This guy is not just pouring drinks; he's crafting an experience. Brandon is a super funny guy who genuinely seems to love what he does. His enthusiasm is infectious, making the visit not just about the drinks but about the overall enjoyment of being in the moment.The place is a testament to the fact that a good bartender can elevate your entire experience. The drinks were great, but Brandon's charisma and passion for his craft made the evening memorable. Red Brick Tavern is more than a bar; it's a place where the staff adds that extra special touch to your night out.If you're in the mood for affordable drinks, a nostalgic ambiance, and the chance to be served by someone like Brandon, don't miss out on Red Brick Tavern. It's a hidden gem that brings a bit of college spirit to your night out. Cheers to Brandon and the Red Brick team for making our visit truly exceptional!“

“I spent a night going around to all the bars around uptown Athens and found that The Union is where all the queers and indie folks hang out (which is exactly my kind of place). Also, their bathroom has fancy toilet paper, like charmin or somethings. Love this place. Also the bartender rendell is very kind.“

“I will always support this business and the owner! thank you for showing love to our disability awareness March ❤️❤️“

“First timers and the food and atmosphere was great!“

“My first time visiting Broneys, and they had a burger deal I couldn't pass up. Burger and fries were good, I'm relatively easy to please. I may try their chips or onion rings next time, it is nice to have options. The burger was way better than any fast food place. I was there at quiet time, I admittedly go uptown more when school is not in session.“

“Please make an effort to cover the other brick walls in the same coating you have in the new part of the bar, because the writing everywhere else in the bar indicates that this action is okay. Some skinny dude with a tribal tattoo on his calf and a scruffy mustache threw my sharpie outside yesterday because he “caught” us writing our names on the walls. It’s everywhere in the bar, so I don’t think the staff should be trained expect drunk college student not to do it. This guy was just on some sort of power trip and wanted to be rude. He very easily could’ve just asked us not to do write on the walls, and we would’ve respected that. Like I said, the wall in the new part of the bar with that coating on it is free of sharpie/can easily be cleaned, so maybe consider doing that on ALL the walls to avoid your staff making stupid decisions like this one in the future. Thanks!“
