The Union Bar and Grill



Hey Ho Let's Go!

Dank, dirty, and dark like CBGB's back in the day, this hipster infested hole in the wall is about as rock and roll as it gets in Athens. Drinks are pretty low key and the crowd is music crazy. Past performers at The Union include The Black Keys, The White Stripes, and The Ataris. The Union is also home to Dance or Die, a dance party hosted by local artist DJ Bartacus. This often draws a large crowd of underclassmen who wash the underage indicating X's off their hands to snag a drink at the bar. If you're Howard Hughes then I would stay away, but if you want to take in Athens' little bit of New York City's Lower East Side then this is the place for you.

People who would probably drink here:
Joey Ramone, Jack White, Slug of Atmosphere, Joe Strummer, Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious, Mick Jones, Johnny Ramone, Iggy Pop, Keith Richards, Kurt Cobain, Yoko Ono, Hilly Kristal, Jack Black, Joan Jett, Hunter S Thompson 

What to order:

PBR drank ironically.
