AMAZING FOOD!! The lamb shawarma was only 14$ and honestly one of the best I've ever had. Really chill atmosphere, amazing staff, lots of fun local art EVERYWHERE! The drinks were really good and very affordable. The well tequila shot was just 6$ and they poured them generously. Its set up to be able to host live music and there was a booth for a DJ, but I was there at 9pm on a Sunday, so it was pretty chill. Will absolutely be a repeat visit spot anytime I'm in Athens.

The karaoke was a highlight, with an energetic crowd and a diverse song list that kept the party going. The food was impressive—flavorful pub classics served quickly despite the bustling atmosphere. The staff truly shone, with their friendly, attentive service and welcoming vibes making us feel right at home. For a fun night out in Athens, The World Famous is the place to be for awesome karaoke, good eats, and a great time. 5 stars, highly recommend! #whoyouchoosematters #bjsellsjax #realestateagent

Ordered the poutine with braised pork and it was either the first or second best meal I have had in my entire life and that’s not a joke. Absolutely incredible. Was my first impression of food in Georgia and it blew my mind.

Drinks were great. The Frito Chicken sandwiches was nice and crispy. The chicken and waffles sandwich was awesome! Only complaint would be that the fries tasted like the grease was old and needed to be changed. But overall I was glad I visited while in town.

Great food, I ordered the burger and it was such an amazing classic burger, the kind you can taste each individual spice, the cheese was amazing. Great vibe, amazing happy people running the bar. The bathrooms are so cool as well. Definitely a place to check out if you’re not an idiot

We decided to stop by on a Friday night before a football game so it was SUPER packed but we were able to snag some seats. I got the chicken waffle sandwich and my fiance got a smashburger- both were super good and the sauce that came with the fries were DELICIOUS. We also got 2 drinks and both drinks were really well made & I especially loved the sugar rim. Aside from the food, the restaurant is decorated in a very unique way and we enjoyed looking at the decor :)

Unexpected surprise after a show at the 40 Watt. Best food late night. Poutine fries with braised pork were dank

Great bar food. I definitely recommend the pork bao buns. The burger was delicious and the pretzels bite were a great appetizer.
