Breweries

Creature Comforts is a classic! Enjoy a local beer in their spacious taproom or beautiful outoor seating area. Usually lots of cute dogs to pet, too :)

Restaurants

Delicious food and great cocktails right downtown! LRGs menu changes seasonally and they always put together the most scrumptious dishes! Highly recommend for a nicer dinner out on the town.

Casual spot for burritos, tacos, empanadas, and other delicious Latin dishes. Easily one of the best restaurants in Athens and walking distance to campus and 5 Points shops and bars! If they have it on hand, their fresh limeade is to die for.

Breakfast and Brunch

Local spot for southern-inspired breakfast food just a short walk from our house ! Pro tip: if you want to skip the long line, call and order ahead, then take your food to Dudley Park right behind the restaurant! You could even take a really nice walk after in this beautiful riverside park.
