Fun, spacious atmosphere. Although noisy, not too noisy, could still talk. Super friendly bartender. Best grilled cheese & fries had in a long time. Just the regular kind w/ ooey gooey cheese. Drinks on the strong side. Lot of tables. Good selection of cue sticks.

We've been going to the rail for 30+ years back when it was called the brass rail. The staff are awesome. They have probably the best hot wings ( mild lemon pepper ) in Athens. We get in early and leave around 9:30 cause the young crowd starts coming in around 10 and really thats our bedtime anyway lol. They have Karaoke some nights which is a fun. I recommend the rail to shoot pool or just hang out with friends for food and drinks. Can't go wrong with the rail!!!

This place is ok as long as you look like them. The bartenders are ok for the most part except the red head. She overcharges for drinks and has the WORST attitude with certain customers.
