The Pub

Rufus Bobcat and the Holy Ale

The closest thing we've got to a honky-tonk in Athens. This bar can be a good time if you're looking for a more laid back surrounding on Court. Pub is one of Athens' best gastropubs, with one of the best burgers in town, and a formidable watering hole. The girls that bartend here are cute and nice and if it's not too loud will make more of an effort to talk to patrons than the bartenders at other bars. This is where tipping is important. Though not an essential part of a great evening it's for sure worth stopping in every once and a while.

The Pub is known for it's gigantic glass chalices of beer called Aquariums. This is the most commonly ordered libation here and it even plays a role in the Pub's Sunday tradition, 'Church.' At 'Church' an Aquarium is used as the blood of Christ in a spoof of the liturgy of the Eucharist. If you don't mind a little blasphemy come on down.If you're on a shuffle though, since you very likely already had a Mega Mug at Red Brick you might want to forgo the Aquarium in favor of an Irish Asprin. This is a shot of Jameson and a chaser shot of OJ.

The negative side of this place though is that it is pretty small and it can be hard to get around depending on when you're in there.
