On The Road Again
This dive bar is a refuge for hipsters and townies that wander past Union Street to see what Court has in store. Though looked down upon by students that frequent Courtside, Junction, and The Crystal it is one of Athens' best kept secrets. Its grungy beatnik feel only adds to its coolness. Its shack-like appearance only makes it more intimate. If you want to escape from the thumping electropop that you've been hearing everywhere else on this side of town then come on up to Tony's and play a round of darts while you sip Killians and PBR.
Music is usually rock and hardcore rap. The playlist includes The Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Wu-Tang Clan, and Nas. It's a chill laid back little place that I'm sure Jack Kerouac would've loved if his journey on the road went through Athens.
Finally, what would a night at Tony's be without a round or two of 'Hot Nuts.' These hot tasty shots of coffee and liquor are good at any time of year.
People who would probably drink here:
Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jack Kerouac, Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, John Bonham, James Dean, Eddie Vedder, Neal Cassidy, Allen Ginsberg, Shirley Manson (Garbage), Helena Bonham Carter, Liv Tyler, Collin Farrell, Patti Smith, Kate Hudson, Karen O, William S Burroughs, Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, Hunter S Thompson
