This is one of the best bars in Athens for patrons 25+. You will find a hodgepodge of Athenians in this bar but not many college students. Several graduate students use this as a study location during the day and it transforms into a great bar scene after dark.
Do note that they do not serve big box domestic beer. Expect to drink craft brews. They also have a great spirits selection.
