West End Cider House - Athens

This place was a referral from another great site in Athens called Jackie O’s. The staff there at Jackie O’s told us we had to try it, and I can’t say enough when a great bar refers to another great bar. I’m not a huge cider guy, but this bar was fantastic. It’s on the west end of town and has a different vibe. Very mellow and relaxed. I did not have time to try their food, but some excellent-sounding dishes were on the menu. They were the only appetizers I saw, but they had some great-sounding stuff. Very friendly staff. Chill crowd. Honestly, even though I’m not a huge cider guy, this might be my unwinding spot next time I’m in town. They do have cocktails and beers, but since they crafted their own cider, I did try their driest cider, which, for me, actually wasn’t bad. My pallet prefers non-sweet and dry, so for me to give it the thumbs up, it says something!

Outstanding mixologists with super personalitys. Great prices. Wonderful customers very friendly place to be.

Friendly, helpful bartender, great atmosphere, meat and cheese tray that is sourced local and in house and a wonderful tasting of their ciders on tap! Absolutely make this one of your stops if you are in town!

Best cocktails and bourbon selection in Athens! House made ciders and spirits are amazing. Great spot!

The absolute best! Not a bar on the main train, so really pleasant for anyone who enjoys a quieter experience. You always have a drink special and the bartenders are legit artists when it comes to mixing.
