The World Famous - Athens

This was my first time experiencing racism at a restaurant. We were handed menus and told to seat anywhere we wanted but every table still had plates and cups from the previous customers so we had to clean it up ourselves...after 30 minutes of getting ignored by the servers that were severing everyone else around us, we left and was told that they were only doing bar service...which was weird because it wasn't even 9:00pm yet.

The World Famous is the most Athens y Athens restaurant. Trendy millennials flock here like moths to a light, and the only inhabitants of the restaurant trendier than the clientele are the staff between the three of them I think I counted 4 hair colors, 2 mullets, and at least 9 piercings. The dim lighting and lack of visible signage marking where the restaurant is strengthens the mysterious allure, making you feel like you've found a spot no one else knows about (even though everyone does). 5 stars for vibes. The real question is if the food and drinks are good. I'd give The World Famous 5 stars here as well. The poutine is famous here, especially if pay a couple bucks extra to slap some protein on top of it. The alcohol selection is also superb, and the cocktails taste pro. The World Famous was on my line up for the 2 years I was an upperclassmen in this city, and will continue to be whenever I visit Athens.

Very eclectic and low key atmosphere. I highly recommend the Robert Van Winkle or the Pata De Cabra if you're into that sort of thing. I had the General Tso's with chicken and it was out of this world. :D Try the french fries with a side of liberace sauce if you know what I mean!!!! Remember to tip your barber! And have fun time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This funky, artsy place was a great choice to have a couple drinks after lunch at Dawg Gone Good BBQ, which is just up the street. Just look for the sign that says This Is It. It has a great beer selection, and it 's full bar, so they have all of your booze groups covered. I chose my usual Makers rocks with a Creature Comforts Tropicalia. I ordinary detest IPA 's, but I friend who knows I hate IPAs recommended it. It was a good choice. The bartender did a great job and handled two rounds more or less perfectly. I can 't yet speak to how the place is crowd wise at night, but it was nice and chill when I stopped in with just a couple of apparent regulars. It was basically perfect for my purpose. The prices were very reasonable. Cheers!

This is just a cool place. The food is decent, but the drinks are better. A nice addition to your night, or you could spend your whole time here. The music is usually good and the ambiance is relaxed and interesting. A good hangout for any night of the week.
