Magnolias Of Athens

Lexie was my bartender for my first time ever being here and she did an absolute fantastic job serving me and my friends. She told me she’s been here for almost one whole year. She definitely deserves all the money she ask for because she is one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had.

Met some friends here for a drink. It was fun. They played pool and we talked.

Cool spot on game day but looking at their specials board showing $3 wells for happy hour I didn't expect well vodkas on game day to be $8 each. My fault I guess. Bartender that I saw took care of me but they definitely pour what I consider a weak drink. Most were a 4 count which is around one ounce. Should be a 6 count minimum for an $8 well. I tended bar in Athens many moons ago and the only time we ever raised our prices was during the 96 Olympics. Good times and big prices!

Prices are 3x normal menu price on gamedays. No warnings. $8 beers. Expensive

This bar charged an automatic 20% gratuity on my bill. This spot was a lot of fun on a Saturday night. Typical college crowd. Best to order cocktails that are well known as one bartender told me she didn 't know what a B52 shot was. After a few shots and a couple cocktails, I did not notice they had charged me an automatic 20% gratuity. I 'm about 50/50 on catching this 'charge ' but that percentage drops on nights when I 've been celebrating and I missed it this night. Having worked at bars and restaurants in college myself, I typically overtip. The next day, I did consider complaining but chalked it up as a reminder to be vigilant next time and because I had had a really good time.
