Georgia Bar

Nice staff, good drink prices.

Good dive bar, cheap prices and good service! No food here but you can find food close by.

Hicks, old men past their prime… what’s not to love? This is a dive bar and it embodies everything that a dive bar should. It’s a welcome change from the rest of the downtown scene. Bonus points for allowing dogs in the bar.

Cheap beer, wonderful bartender. Strolled in the middle of the day during spring break while students were out while visiting for Atlanta. Loved how the whole place felt and looked, very old with lots of history on the walls.
Yea I would say there are plenty of hicks there but hey they know where to drink cheap don’t they?
Would love to go back when there is happy hour– can’t imagine what the prices would end up being then!

This was my home base bar from ’89 to ’94 and I can guarantee that it’s all it claims to be and doesn’t pretend to be anything it isn’t.
In my day (sounding like Abe Simpson) they had a peanut roaster and you got fresh roasted peanuts in the shell for free, which with a bud in a bottle was dinner for a few starving student nights. Michael stipe would stop in and people wouldn’t say ‘boo’ to him.
One of the THE best local unpretentious welcoming dive bars i’ve been in– and i’m referring to the clientele, they did have a pretentious bartender or two back in the day.
Good times.

I came here last weekend and stopped in with a bachelorette party. We had a great time, and close to the end of the night we had already closed our tab out. I ordered one more beer, but the bartender told me that there was a $ 10 minimum. I asked her if she could close out the tab anyway since all my friends had full drinks, and it was later in the evening, so she closed it out and I signed for the amount of my beer. Now on my credit card statement, she actually closed it out for $ 10. Even though it is a very small amount of money, it feels like the bartender stole money from me. I will be disputing this with my credit card company, and they will lose out on that amount because they will not be able to provide a signed receipt.

Quintessential dive bar. As Shane said, zero pretension. Not where the frat/sorority/db’s go for the evening. Numerous regulars that make it a special place for many. If you are looking for glitz and glamour, this is not for you. If you are looking for a beer, whiskey, and good conversation, walk on in.

«Hicks, cheap dates, and old men…»
As long as I don’t see «bratty undergrads» on that list, it sounds just fine to me.

Everytime I am in town for a football game, this is where we all end up.
Great wasted fun, the place smells of trouble… and that’s where you will find me.
Good alcohol selection, great draft beer selection too. The people who hang out here are good people and I wouldn’t get rid of them for anyone else!
Go Dawgs!

Best bar in Athens. Zero pretension, great prices, and the owners are awesome. Killer jukebox and sometimes there’s live music. You gotta love this bar.

Hicks, cheap dates, and old men way past their prime have found their safe haven.
