The Pigskin Bar and Grille


Let Me Drink Next To Your Fire

It's all good times and southern hospitality at this gastropub. After a round of much needed renovations the Pigskin has emerged more popular than ever when it comes to both having a good meal and going out on the tiles afterward. The renovations have opened up more room and allowed Pigskin to increase its business. The bar also has a back deck that students flock to during the warmer months so they can actually hear each other talk. Yeah, it gets pretty noisy in here.

I used to think that it was an alright place to go but after it reopened this past year, it has gained a new level of wild popularity in Athens. This bar attracts a diverse crowd and really avoids being labeled in ways that other bars fall short of.

Why not try washing down your pulled pork sandwich with a sweet mixed drink known as a Black Widow. A Black Widow is like five drinks rolled into one. This is the only time when it is acceptable for a man to drink something this fruity tasting. One of these is all it really takes to impair you from driving anywhere for the rest of the night and it can lead to some pretty unruly behavior after two.

Pigskin has excellent variety on their jukebox and a respect for truly great music. Here bands like Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Cream, AC/DC, The Black Keys, and the Black Crowes are favored over our times array of forgettable pop-hop.

People who would probably drink here:
The Followill brothers (Kings of Leon), Ludacris, Jimmy Page, Minka Kelly, Jennifer Aniston, Mila Kunis, Derek Trucks, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marisa Miller, Gary Clark Jr., William Faulkner, Outkast, Jim James (My Morning Jacket), Paul Newman, Tennessee Williams, Jack Daniels, Hunter S Thompson
