Honestly, like a typical college watering hole, it looks like a good cleaning is in order. The atmosphere was electric on this autumn, football weekend Friday night. Service was helpful and friendly, beer ice cold and cocktails well poured. Several in our group ordered, and recommended, their burger and fries. They were both great and the skin on fried potatoes were cut in house - not frozen!

The highlight of the sandwiches was the spicy sauce that contrasted well with the maple syrup on the inside of the waffle. The bar fries with some skin left on were good. Service was mediocre at best. This is a college hangout kind of place, but the food was pretty good.

I don't want to blow them up too much because it's nice to be able to go in there and get good service and quick service and good food without too many crowd. Their staff is awesome.

The only drawback to this place really is Parking but if you get creative, it's pretty good. Looking forward to more events thereand going back again to see some friends and grab a drink and they're wonderful staff.

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!

The Manhattan Cafe is a cozy dive bar in downtown Athens…read more It's not much to look at from the outside. If anything, it looks a little sketchy from the outside given the bars on the window, but it's not a sketchy place at all. Believe me when I say this. I stopped in on a Monday night for a nightcap. It was nice and quiet, which is exactly what I was looking for that particular evening, the following day being a travel day for me. As you can see from my pics, it's a nice little place. Drink prices were very reasonable, and the bartending was very good, too. I will happily stop in again when I return to Athens next year. Cheers!

We followed that up with a couple Lone Stars, a nice touch for these two Texans. A bit of a dull interior on the inside, but probably a nice spot for conversation, with a few added touches that take this spot past a normal, scuzzy dive bar.

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.
