Let me first say this, why hadn't I been to The Pine earlier? This restaurant is soooo good and in…read morea perfect location, Five Points! Pine Bar is a small restaurant that has a variety of wines, mixed drinks and tapas. There are 2 outdoor patios, one covered and one uncovered and in an inside too. They take reservations as well, but we came around 6pm on a Wednesday and they weren't too busy. By 6:30pm, it started to pick up though! We came specifically for the happy hour. Which is 5-7pm and they $15 bottled wines and $1 off raw oysters. We were promptly seated on the patio when we arrived, given water for us and our pup that had joined us. We started off with drinks and a dozen oysters, let me say these oysters were very good and they give you everything you need to eat with them. I wonder if the saltine crackers are homemade! Next we ordered 3 different tapas: the cauliflower, hummus and slider trio. All were super delicious! Overall my experience at The Pine Bar was spectacular and I'm pretty sure I'll be a regular in the future!

We originally had a 7:45 PM reservation, but showed up early hoping for a change. They were incredibly accommodating and got us seated immediately at 6:30 PM on the patio. It turned out to be the highlight of the night--we absolutely loved the atmosphere out there. Even for an early spring evening in Athens, the heaters were positioned perfectly and kept us comfortable the entire time.

When we asked if our food was coming out the waitress was rude. Like seriously. She said oh well the other table ate it. Ok well you didn't serve it to the people who ordered it?

The menu is very limited so you may want to check it out before going. They also had a live band on this particular Sunday, if you are in the Athens area, you should definitely check them out.

They have a full bar, all of the top creature comfort's beer, and just the best service. I have never had a bad experience at Seney, but if I have it was because of the other customers that were there not the employees. Because Sanaa only has two theaters, they are able to keep themselves busy by hosting tango night events, karaoke, trivia nights, and much more. I went there for a free karaoke night after a movie and it was so fun. I also went for free tango lessons and it was a blast. The beer also makes it so much better As far as new cine goers and advice, make sure you get there with plenty of time to find a good seat and parking. Even though it is a small theater it gets very popular and very crowded. Get there with enough time to find street parking and bring enough money so you can pay for the 2+ hours he will be there if you are seeing a movie. You will also want to make sure you get a good seat.

But oh man, we have at least 4 meals off of this plate of nachos, so they can have my $24 anytime.

I think they make their chips as they are thicker than most, but have an amazing actual flavor, and the toppings are ABUNDANT. This was carne asada and it was absolutely delish. The bartender greeted us when we walked in, showed us where to order and to pick a seat inside or on the cute little patio. They brought the food out within 10 minutes and we chowed. Others around us had margarita buckets and pitchers of beer, so plenty of options. Someone was raving about a pickle margarita...next trip that is on my list.
