We were seated send 2:00 pm,(we have eaten here before x2) our order was taken @ 2:30. At 3:00 we were informed our "yellow ticket had been lost. The cook was preparing our meal. My husband went to put more money in the meter. The waitress brought our order the burger I ordered was very rare so I sent it back. We left,the service sucked.

Went w/ 21 yr old daughter. First visit for both.Beyond loud group at front part of bar upon coming in but we thought theyâd calm down so we stayed. finally changed tables bc they were so loud and being over-served by seemingly oblivious bartenders. Positive: Berry Dessert crepe was tasty but savory meatball one not so much. Crepes a bit thick for my taste. Cocktails well really good. Server was on point and I noticed all the food seemed to come out timely. Negative: We complained to our female server, who was also unnerved by loud group at bar, as were other servers. We were told mgr was âupstairs working. â(She also mentioned 2 parties previously left before ordering due to the obnoxious group.)Upon leaving we spoke to mgr who was now behind bar so no way he didnât see/hear group. Had my dtr not wanted to try crepes we wouldâve left before ordering. Too many other places to eat lunch. Also informed him of less than relaxed lunch, due to adults being over served- and acting as though they were only people present. Mgr apologized but that was about it. Yes Iâm aware itâs half bar/eatery in a college town. However not everyone eating in Athens is 20-30 years old.....itâs one room with no separation, so diners are exposed to whatever is going on at bar. At 3:45 in afternoon the atmosphere should be different than 11 at night....further the bartenders didnât seem to recognize when people need to be cut off. I will not be back nor recommend.

We were just there for drinks and to watch the Texans playoff game (unfortunately, the Texans got spanked by the Colts, but I guess I can't really blame that on the bar :)). Anyway I can't really comment on the food... except that it looked and smelled good while passing by our table. Great staff that made us 1st timers feel like regulars. Drinks were good, plenty strong and reasonably price.

A small, funky, local spot in Athens, GA, The World Famous offers specialty cocktails and cool twists on bar classics. You can't go wrong with any of their Cheerwine cocktails and don't miss the Poutine, Breakfast Burrito, Chicken and Waffles, and Pretzel Bites. Who am I kidding, everything here is amazing! Brunch and happy hour are my favorite times to go.

Service is phenomenal. This place features a warm, comforting and rustic environment with a wide range of tap beers and alcohol selections. The menu is fun however, limited for dietary restricted people. I gave this place a 4 only because it advertises itself to be an English inspired pub or establishment. There is only one item truly English inspired and that is the fish and chips which is excellent. Itâs clean, friendly and fun! I highly recommend. However, if youâre craving a menu truly driven by English inspired cuisine, you will be sadly disappointed. This would be better classed as an American bar with a fun and interesting decor and drink selection.

We were in Athens shopping and stopped in here as a recommendation from a friend. The deep fried bacon brussel sprouts were quite the change from the normal stove top, but quite tasty. The takedown tacos with tuna were exceptional as was the burger and mcrib. Décor is simple with light coming from a bulb in a mason jar. An extensive beverage list and many choices on the menu make for a good dining experience.

We went here for dinner on a Thursday night and were seated right away. We both ordered beers from their drink menu and were happy with the service and selection. We ordered burgers and chicken sandwich and both were served with just a normal wait time. Both entrees were very good and we would definitely go here again for dinner. The environment is casual and relaxed and the service was good. I would recommend.

We flew in to Atlanta today, drove to Athens to visit our daughter and got here in time for a late dinner. Great beer selection, delicious pub food, great service and reasonable prices. Shepherds pie, Lamb Curry, Lamb Burger, Toffee sticky pudding, Bread puddingâall so good. A great way to end the first day of our visit.
