21 and an official adult now! Have fun!
As each year ticked off, you waited for the fun of being ‘legal’! And now you made it. 21 is such a fun age, especially when you live in the Classic City. Anyone living in Athens is aware of how many bars there are. In fact, Athens is known for having more bars per capita than any other city in the country, 80 bars, in a single square mile, and counting. This insane statistic makes Athens a fabulous place to ‘bar crawl’ with friends.
Some of the most popular Athens bars are the Boar’s Head Lounge, Bar South, Sandbar, and Woodford. These are just a sample size (5% to be exact) of the bars in Athens, and regardless of whether you choose to crawl to one of these or not, you are guaranteed to have an amazing 21st in ATH. A fan favorite among all UGA students in Athens is the infamous 9d’s Bar. This is an upstairs bar that strictly plays 90’s music. It is decorated with 90’s album posters and photos of famous 90’s singers and is full of both drunk and sober dance moves that one is sure to never forget. Another extremely popular bar is Wonderbar. All of the drinks here are either themed after gaming-favorite snacks or some of the most popular games known to date. Whether you are in a Pacman mood or wanting to play Super Mario Bros, this classic video game bar should be on your list if you are in need of a little friendly competition.
If your dream 21st party includes country music, camo, and boots, General Beauregards is the place for you. They have drinks that are twists on old Southern favorites like Dixieland Sweet Tea, Warm Apple Pie, and Oatmeal Cookie. While these are some of the most iconic bars in Athens, they are definitely not the only ones, if you are planning to crawl the night of your 21st away, you should definitely plan it so you go to bars that are the most fun for you! Athens also has a good amount of breweries that are a great visit for a beer tasting on your 21st. The five main breweries in Athens are:
All of these bars offer a wide variety of activities from tours to tastings that will surely make you feel like an adult on your 21st or any day after. While these do not offer the “nightlife” bar feel, they are a great way to spend the day, tasting new beers, and eating some good food. At the end of the day, 21 is another year to learn and grow!
