Jackie O's Brew Pub

Jumpin' Jack Flash

The only microbrewery in Athens. This is the place to go for a good beer, good people, and good live music. For Jackie O's every week is Ohio Brew Week. The bar has a list of beers brewed right here in Athens and every one of them is worth a try. From the sweet Razz Wheat to the thick and bold Dark Apparition Russian Imperial Stout there is a beer for everyone here. This is the prime spot for Athens' population of hippies and hipsters alike, of course it can also draw a much more diverse crowd.

It just seems like everyone is friendlier here than at any other place in Athens. The bartenders are some of the most personable people you will meet in this town. They never leave a patron hanging and are always open to recommending what brews you should try. Whether it is the owner, an aging hippie or that cute blond girl, that's paying her way through school, they're good people. The people are always open to conversation on many more topics than just how totally stoned you got last week. When more people in the world start going to Jackie O's for a drink then the world shall know peace.

Another reason to come to Jackie O's is the music. Some of the best bands in the area perform at night. The eclectic array of performers make for an enjoyable evening to any music-lover. Expect to hear everything from bluesy garage rock to acoustic-based folk.It's one of the best spots for local talent and talent scouts for record labels pop by frequently.

For sure make Jackie O's a part of your night out in Athens.

What to order:

I recommend the Dark Apparition but their microbrew selection is a beer-drinker's dream. Different strokes for different folks.
