Service could have been better considering how well I tipped but my 4⭐️Is because they should have prices for drinks viewable to the customers. Other then that nice place good atmosphere, i watched the band “Cuddling” play in the theater which was awesome!! The band definitely rocked!! Good vibes!! I’ll definitely be back!

This place is usually solid. Only reason I give it a one star is because there’s one younger girl bartender there (red head) that has a TERRIBLE attitude problem. As soon as you walk in and order a drink, she rolls her eyes and has a look of disgust on her face like she’s doing you a huge favor. I saw her belittle another patron once about how he dressed by saying “you don’t look like you belong here” because he wasn’t in townie attire I guess? Just extremely immature and judgmental behavior on the part of that one bartender. If you can avoid her, go and enjoy 😉

Cool dive bar right next door to the 40 Watt. Busy walls, lots of art, seeing some cool Ska and punk rock bands. Neat cavern and stage for bands. A place where your wildest dreams MIGHT come true!

Drinks were amazing. The environment was fantastic. From the bartenders Jesse and Sean, to the friendly patrons, I thoroughly enjoyed this place, as a perfect dive bar.

The best bar in Athens. Period. Art, small movie theater, bands, and the most fabulous bar tenders in town! Don't come to Athens and not visit.

If you liked the Adams Family (and I did) you will Love Flicker. It’s velvety gaudiness fits the real Athens scene perfectly. Feels like the vibe of the B-52’s on a slightly dark night, I loved it. I caught the end of “Hard Rock Zombies” in the free theatre and it was so tacky it was cool. Then I enjoyed some free popcorn and a great ginger cider for 4 bucks. Live music and weird movies shown frequently. It’s a locals bar but I think they will welcome you right in;)

Finished up 3 nights of DBT Heathens Homecoming at the 40 watt club, next door at Flicker. I got their drink called “Dr. Zhivago” (an espresso martini) with a bit of a twist with the help of my favorite bartender, Jeanie. She was so fun and accommodating so I now call that drink the “Jeanie-tini” Thank Jeanie! You’re the best!

It's my favorite bar ever. Divey and eclectic atmosphere with smarmy yet sweet bartenders. There's movies projected (with complimentary popcorn) or live music played more often than not, and local art is always on display. What more could I ask for? They stay open later than most bars. It's not really a selling point. Be careful going to any bar after 12 am.

I was there to see thrash metal band Mandown. Great band and great venue.
