It's a mellow neighborhood bar. Perfect for relaxing after a long day and right down the street. An easy walk at just under a mile.

It's my favorite tiny little shoebox venue. You could go on a wednesday and see a good indie show. It has a CBGB vibe. It was the original 40 watt club. If you like metal or indie music go check out the Caledonia.

It's the closest thing to a 'night club' if you're looking for that kind of atmosphere, all good is the best spot in town. It's a little younger and on the younger side of town but if you're over 30 you won't feel odd being in there.

It's iconic. Purely Athens. It's a good club and the acts range pretty widely but you can always catch a good show there.

Best beer in the State. The building is a historic rebuild as well so it's a cool space. I recommend actually doing the tour -- especially if Blake is giving it. It'll touch your heart.

Food Scene

The food is to die for. This place absolutely kills it. I recommend going for lunch because it's such a bargain but dinner is fabulous as well. You can't go wrong at Last Resort. It's iconic - an Athens staple.

It's my favorite place to hang out, have some oysters or a small plate and drinks. The bartenders are incredible and the food is always fresh. They do ramen on Mondays and it's hot fire.

Sightseeing

It's right downtown and north campus is beautiful. The campus at UGA is definitely worth taking a walk through. Some of the trees alone are worth the trek.
