    Blueberry Buck
    Erin S.

    I think this is the one of the classiest bars in the Classic City. The Blueberry Buck ($7) was delicious. It's a little expensive for Athens, but they use nicer alcohol and the cocktails are more specialty, so the higher prices are justified. The music is low, so you can hear each other. They have a cute outside area. The bathrooms had soap and paper towels so yay for Blue Sky! Nice bartenders. We'll be back.

    Best bar in Athens during COVID. Their rooftop area is super cute & big enough for groups. Employees are required to wear masks but customers are not. Their inside seating is open. This is a nicer bar so drinks are in glasses instead of plastic cups and $7 rather than $2-3. This also means that underclassmen usually don't go which is great :) Blueberry Buck is one of my favorites!! Their Mexican Mule was very good too.

    Nice, comfortable bar with large selection of drinks. The interior is good. Central location. Great place to stop by for a drink or two.

    No better beer selection in Athens. Bartenders always have beer knowledge. Beautiful view over North Campus (in daylight). Historic feel.

    Great little divey place for Cincinnati-style chili and sandwiches &…read more beer choices are good. Locals know it well -it's been serving the neighborhoods around Normaltown for decades-and it looks the part., Food: 5 stars for their Cincinnati-style chili on French fries , by the bowl, or with hotdogs. Sandwiches are always good size and tasty. We like their Reuben and Rachel as well as the various BLT's. Food is a strong point. Service : Staff are very pleasant and the service is quick. Facility: 2- star (Sorry-but it's true) Old interior, but they have attempted to keep it serviceable. The bathrooms are a good reason to use hand sanitizer instead of washing your hands, IMHO. Lots of various beer cans for decor. Location: Very conveniently located on main thoroughfare just outside Athens in Normaltown between the hardware store and the Mexican restaurant. A few parking spaces on the street, more in the rear.

The fries are hand cut and perfectly seasoned. Last time I was here, I had their chili and I will admit, it's better than mine! That's saying a lot! Great beer selection of local brews. The staff behind the bar is very friendly and attentive. The only downside is that parking is not great with street parking is the only option. It was worth circling the block a few times before I got a spot! Can't wait to try another one of their awesome comfort food specialties!
