Food scene

This is a great “hole in a wall” place to get good wings, tenders, fries, onion rings, fried green tomatoes, salads, burgers, etc. The owners are wonderful. There is indoor and outdoor seating and a band from time to time on Friday nights.

We are so glad to have discovered this hidden jewel! Fried or broiled, we love it all! I especially enjoy the low country boil! The fried baskets are great, too!

Rafferty’s is a dependable restaurant. We can always depend on the food being delicious. Their salmon, shark, potato soup, salad with hot bacon & honey mustard dressing, and steaks are among their many specialties!

We love the cowboy atmosphere in this place. They have fresh steaks on display so you can pick the one you want! Their steaks and salmon are very good and reasonably priced. Their loaded sweet potato is amazing!

The Blind Pig Tavern is a favorite popular local dining place and sports bar. They have a great menu! If you are traveling with younger children, you may want to sit in the main dining area. Tuesday is Trivia night for the over 21 crowd. Thursday is wing night. Fantastic food!

Athens Bagel Company is a great place to grab breakfast. Sometimes the lines can be a little long, especially on a Sunday after a UGA game, but it is well worth the wait.

The UGA campus is beautiful! However, due to traffic, we don’t advise guests to be anywhere near downtown or the UGA stadium the four hours prior to or the four hours after a game… unless of course you are fortunate enough to go to a game! I highly recommend going to a UGA football, baseball, or softball game, or a swim meet, or a gymnastics competition! The Dawgs are great!

Sports

Athens has a number of public and private tennis centers all over town, as well as public parks that host baseball fields and soccer fields.
Go Dawgs! Make sure you do not miss a visit to this old but well-maintained campus, the home of the Georgia Bulldogs! Definitely take in a football, baseball, or basketball game while you’re are here. In addition, you don’t want to miss the opportunity to see a tennis match or a gymnastic meet, either! A walk through the historic campus is refreshing! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DAWGS! Sic ‘em! Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof!!!

If you like to play tennis or pickle ball, this is a very nice public facility. There is no fee to play. You can also rent a ball machine for a nominal fee.
