It's my favorite tiny little shoebox venue. You could go on a wednesday and see a good indie show. It has a CBGB vibe. It was the original 40 watt club. If you like metal or indie music go check out the Caledonia.

It's the closest thing to a 'night club' if you're looking for that kind of atmosphere, all good is the best spot in town. It's a little younger and on the younger side of town but if you're over 30 you won't feel odd being in there.

It's iconic. Purely Athens. It's a good club and the acts range pretty widely but you can always catch a good show there.

Best beer in the State. The building is a historic rebuild as well so it's a cool space. I recommend actually doing the tour -- especially if Blake is giving it. It'll touch your heart.
