Always a great time. Folks are nice, drinks are yummy and the place is always busy. It’s a dark cozy vibe inside but there is outdoor seating with fire pit options as well! We have used the party room a few times and it was always great!

We came here because Automatic Pizza didn’t have enough seating and they deliver to Normal Bar, which is so convenient. We had 7 people around 7:45 on a Friday night. Normal Bar was already packed, but we got lucky that a table opened up right when we got there. The non-draft beer is cheap. Athens has pretty cheap drinks in general, but Normal Bar is even cheap for Athens. Good beer, like Tropicalia, will run you $5. I got the Killer Bee cocktail ($8) and it was delicious. They have darts and a TV. The vibe is very chill, with people just hanging out and enjoying a good drink. We will definitely be back here!

The most professional bar service in town and its away from downtown if you want to hang out with adults. $2 bud heavy all the time, some fancy beers on tap and fresh fruit cocktails if you need to impress a date. Update: bud heavy is $3 now. Probably has been for a while. 8-24 Update: Bud heavy is $3.50. Thanks Obama! Also not always an adult crowd unless you go to happy hour.

This bar often has a bonfire in the back that makes a great atmosphere. Prices are reasonable and bartenders are friendly. It gets the 5-stars for free dart playing on decent boards and the best boiled peanuts. They also have always alcohol free cocktails on the menu for the driver.

I love this bar. I go at least once a week because it’s a great way to get away from the students of Athens Georgia. We are a college town but this place is a refuge from Partying college students and offers mature adults to share in mature conversations. Their selection of alcohol and beer is a lot. And the service is friendly and fast. I recommend this place to all who are looking for a fun atmosphere that suits your age, if you’re over 25 years old.

Great local hangout. The selection of beers on tap is small but excellent, featuring mostly local brews. Larger room is available for groups or parties but it is separated enough that anyone can feel comfortable at the bar alone or with a small group, or playing darts!

Been coming here since it opened over a decade ago. My wife and I had our first date here and come back every year for our dativersary. Really nice neighborhood place with affordable, good drinks, chill people, and firepits. Great for townie types and those who've moved on from College.

This is a bar for adults rather than students, which in this town is hard to find. The beer prices are reasonable. The bar tenders are awesome.

Best bar in town for that older-crowd, laid-back, super cool vibe. You won't find annoying college freshmen screaming and acting a fool at this bar. Great atmosphere, super friendly staff and best of all - you will get your drink right …
