Blind Pig Tavern

My favorite bar/​restaurant in Athens. I was concerned when they moved from Baldwin St. to their new downtown location across from the Courthouse on Washington. Absolutely no worries. The food is as good or better than ever, the same super staff and finally, parking!

Excellent restaurant. I especially love their burgers, which are quite good. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for some good food.

Stopped in here to watch a football game while visiting Athens (suggested by someone who lives here), and we were very pleasantly surprised. We were greeted very nicely at the door and our 6 person party was seated immediately in a very comfortable, over-​sized booth.
The décor and ambiance was very industrial, but totally cozy and inviting.
Our server Amanda could not have been more helpful or polite and patient. She was hands-​down professional and I’d ask for her section if we were going back. She served us and made sure our drinks and condiments were well taken care of, without hovering, like so many servers are wont to do.
Between the 6 of us, we tried a little bit of everything and ALL of it was delicious. The wings were tasty, the Double-​D ingenious, the BLFGT to die for, the Memphis Burger was so crazy good you couldn’t believe it: Peanut butter on a burger?!? What brilliant, mad-​scientist chef created this culinary masterpiece?! The Fat Matt was a juicy delight and the nachos slathered with cheese — no skimp here!
Our entire experience was phenomenal. It makes me really wish we had this restaurant down in St. Pete, FL. If we ever visit Athens again, we will definitely be back.

Good bar food. Good beer selection. But the chef just came out from the kitchen and said to some regulars; «We’re going to start doing some brunch stuff. None of that faggoty ass chef stuff, real food.
So I won’t be back and I’ll encourage my friends to do the same.
