Some of the younger bartenders are a little confused on game days and fans coming into town to have fun. It’s like walking into a saloon in the desert in a western film. Everyone stares and tries to eavesdrop on your conversations. Oddly hostile crowd and younger bartenders who don’t understand gamedays. Stop bothering customers and staring at strangers. Grow up. Side note - Athens tradition and older bartenders are cool.
