A ton of British (and other) beers on tap, fair drink prices. The menu is concise but varied--fish and chips, bangers and mash, royale burger, lamb burger. We REALLY enjoyed the pork belly in Korean BBQ starter, absolutely fantastic. I had a double fish and chips, my wife the Royale burger. Loved the meal, wish we'd had room to try the sticky toffee pudding to see if it's as good as Ramsey's at Hell's Kitchen. Parking is limited, as is seating.

Saturday special, corned beef Philly cheese. With provolone cheese, pickled cabbage and a horseradish sauce.

Cutter's Pub is a very fine dive bar located in the heart of downtown Athens…read more It has a split personality. During the day, it's a handfull of townies and the occasional tourist like me. At night, it's often packed with UGA undergrads. The bartending was great both of the times I went during the day. I would say friendly and on the ball. It has a very good selection of Bourbon. Happy Hour is where it's at, especially on Mondays. Drinks are cheap during happy hour! They open at 2:00 p.m. during the week and at 12:00 p.m. on Saturdays. They are closed on Sundays like a lot of places in downtown Athens. My rounds were double Weller neat and Creature Comforts Tropicalia as one does. Cheers!

It was an old-school street meter, thankfully it accepted credit cards. We took a short walk across the street and noticed a few outdoor tables in front, before heading inside. We entered and saw the sign instructing to seat yourself. We sat at a high top table pretty centrally located. The whole interior felt like we were transported to a British pub. Our server quickly came over with menus and waters, giving us a few minutes to review the options. We needed some time to review the menu. The beer list was massive; drafts as well as cans and bottles spread across multiple pages. While they don't offer traditional beer flights, they do serve smaller 11 ounce pours. Wifey ordered a couple of those: a Harp Premium Lager and a Bavak Super Wit from the draft list. I went with a bottled Pilsner Urquell and later tried an 11 ounce taster of "Escape Button," an IPA from local Athens brewery, Athentic. We enjoyed all of our choices. The food menu featured classic pub options, but also a few that you wouldn't expect like a Curry Chicken Bowl that I almost ordered but instead I went with the Turkey Club sandwich with no tomatoes and a side salad. Wifey ordered Chicken tenders with french fries. The food took a little longer than expected to come out and when it arrived my sandwich still came out with tomatoes. I did not make a big deal about it and picked them out. My sandwich and salad were actually very good and Wifey said her meal was also very good. While hanging out in the dining room we noticed some original artwork near the bar that we found out was to depict the history of wine. There's also an upstairs area that was blocked off during our visit, and a sign mentioned that live music starts at 10 PM. Overall, we really enjoyed our lunch time visit to The Globe and would definitely return the next time we are in town.

Made the mistake of going to Locos because the restaurant next to it was full. All was well till a old white dude swaggers in with a gun in his shoulder harness and shoots us - the only minorities in the room - hostile looks. I have never experienced this in my 30 years in Athens restaurants. If this is the crowd that Locos caters to, count me out! Never again. read more

Both locations have outside seating-so pleasant on nice Georgia afternoons and evenings. Service is always great. Food : Our group tried 4 different sandwiches and a salad-everyone was pleased. I predictably ordered their Reuben-it's always good and flavorful. This time I asked for some changes -slaw instead of kraut and they did a great job without refusing my request or charging extra. It was delicious. The huge burger they served made my friend happy. The broccoli side was cooked perfectly. The fries and sweet potato fries were crispy. The bbq sandwiches gets high marks. Pretty good fish tacos even though it isn't a Mexican restaurant. Food came out quickly and was just as we had ordered it. Service: Polly was our server on this occasion -and made our experience very positive. Friendly, pleasant, handled our spills and changes in menu requests flawlessly, kept our beverage glasses full.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in, and the place was noticeably clean and well-kept. There were plenty of TVs throughout the space, which is a nice touch if you're dining solo or just want something to watch while you eat. I ordered the OMG Burger with straight fries and a Sprite. The burger lived up to its name--absolutely delicious--and the fries were hot, fresh, and perfectly cooked. My only minor critique would be the Sprite, which tasted a bit off, possibly due to the drink machine needing some maintenance. Not a dealbreaker by any means, just something worth noting. What really stood out to me was the service. Even though the place wasn't crowded, my server was attentive and quick, and she even made sure I was able to pay for my meal when it arrived so I could head out as soon as I was done. That level of thoughtfulness really goes a long way. If you're in the area and looking for a solid lunch spot that respects your time without sacrificing quality, this Beef O'Brady's definitely gets my recommendation.
