Favorite Bars

The Boars Head is still in Athens, I go there regularly. It may be in a different place, but they have the same stuff (darts, popcorn, etc)... That, Allgood and Generals are my favorite bars in Athens. Athens does have a good bar scene, but unfortunately you have to go to them with people who live in Athens, which can suck. My favorite bar in Auburn is easily Bodega, which unfortunately is closing for good this weekend due to the college street getting bought out by condo's. War Eagle Supper Club is also a traditional favorite. In Tuscaloosa I generally go to Innisfree, the booth or gallettes, bham I like innisfree and kudu. I don't generally like Atlanta bars, but Va highlands has some decent places and I like the Bucket Shop for predrinking before concerts or sporting events.

Gallettes in Tuscaloosa and The Booth for me too......although i'm pretty sure the Booth is closing.....which is horrible.
Generals in Athens is great.

Yeah the booth is closing, but I'm not sure if it has yet or not

Good to know Boar's Head is still around. I have not been back to Athens since I transferred, but I would go back just to visit that place. Kitty still working there?

We have a ton of guys that go to showdown, they're nuts over that place.

Do people go to Jaime's before games anymore? That was a favorite spot for margaritas.

I'm generally not a big margarita fan....but if I want one i'm usually going to El Rancho or Maudies

I like Moes & Joes and the Highland Tap (great burger and best martini in town) as well as a place down near Ponce with a big deck. Not sure I ever knew its name--we just called it the porch place.

My favorite Atlanta bar is no longer: The Stein Club. A total hole in the wall but had a great juke box.

I love El Rancho, I'm amazed at how many people haven't been there. I think my father has been eating lunch everyday at that place, and where it was downtown originally for like 20 + years. Sometimes he switches off for The Ditch

As much as I feel sorry for Bob Armstrong, I think it's funny that he couldn't even order a dish which was named after him, due to his health conditions. Cheers to Bob Armstrong, it's still one of the best things you can order at Matt’s.

Edit** besides the green chicken enchiladas. Dang, I know what I’m getting for lunch tomorrow, before I start my Christmas shopping / boot shopping J
