You might drive by this place if you aren't aware of how good the food is! Nondescript, off the…read morebeaten path, tucked away from other restaurants. But definitely worth the visit. We had a group of nine friends and called ahead. Our table was waiting when we arrived. Our server was friendly and helpful. Among the many orders were ribs, ribeye, wings, grilled shrimp and the Friday night prime rib special. Everyone enjoyed their dish and several had portions so large, take out boxes were required. This is essentially a bar and not a fine dining restaurant. However, their food certainly rivals a fine dining experience. Highly recommend you swing by and see what it is all about!

You will find a variety of customers including college students looking to save a buck on booze or some locals lookin' to get their game on. I always enjoyed their 'dollar domestic' nights where any domestic bottle of beer was $1. They also have a dance floor with a DJ blasting the latest rap and hip-hop that apparently wasn't overplayed on the radio enough. Find some ladies (and Jeffrey H) booty droppin' to some beats and spillin' their drinks on the floor. If dancing isn't your scene, head on back to the front of the bar where everyone else stands/sits around or throws some darts...a big attraction in southeastern Ohio. The staff is kinda 'rough around the edges' but I love 'em. The place is filthy but I love it. The booze is cheap and I love that. I didn't stop by last weekend while visiting and I hate that.

Everywhere else takes it, and yes it has my birth date on it. So much for patriotism!

The downstairs bar is well lit, very different from the old days, but they still have the best prices on beer in town. A visit to the Union is a must for Athens visit if you love good cold beer & indie music!

Dew Drop Inn is a classic dive bar. It's what one should look like. This is what one should smell…read morelike. It has the colorful clientele. Then there's cheap beer and whiskey. From the outside it looks abandoned. No clear signage or anything. Rest assured they are open. It doesn't look much better inside. There's a few TVs but otherwise there wasn't much going on. It was a late night on the weekend, and there was plenty of room at the bar. The drinks are amazingly cheap, and strong. I had a Jim Beam and Coke. This was only $3 and it was a good pour. An encouraging thing is the sign about not tolerating racist stuff in the bar. It seems like a diverse crowd. It's nice to know not everyone is backwards around there.

If you're tired of bars with bros and sorority sluts try this bar. Smiling Skull Saloon is…read moresomewhere they wouldn't be caught dead in. This bar seems to have mostly townies. It gets loud and crass. They don't take sass and will knock you on your ass if you get all high and mighty. It looks a lot like a typical biker bar. It refers to itself as a saloon rather than a bar. This means it feels like somewhere to get rowdy. It's not so crazy in the middle of the day. Patrons are mostly half conscious and in a stupor. If you want to witness some hell raising, go later. This isn't quite like Sons of Anarchy, but the bikers can be a little scary. Just don't piss them off and you'll be okay. There's a pool table that's fun to get in on. It's a good place for cheap beer and cocktails. Patrons can look scary but are usually not looking to fight. This is one of the best bars to catch musicians.
