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.

Sit inside at cozy tables or at the custom built mahogany bar, or outside on the patio where you can enjoy that favorite cigar or smoke. The cocktail menu is updated every quarter and there is something for everyone, including curated beer, wine and mocktail selections. They have a small selection of food items, but have pop up food events weekly featuring Jerry Slater whipping up his famous CHicago Dogs, Pizza's or Smashburgers. If you're looking for an "Adult Swim" place to unwind away from the downtown undergrad frenzy and crowds, Nighthawks is the place!

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!

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!
