This is the best dive bar in Athens! It’s a fantastic music venue for intimate performances, with wonderful bartenders who are always happy to whip up your obscure favorite drinks. Plus, they host some amazing bands!

Im born and raised in Athens Ga and i frequent downtown Athens often. I normally go to nowhere bar because most of the time it can be low-key. So i went there last night around 11pm on 04/10/22 to play some pool and have a beer. I asked the door man if they had a cover charge and how much it was. He responded that the cover was $30 and i told him thats insane. Little did he know that my brother was already in the bar and i called my brother to ask how much he paid to get in and said that he only paid $10 for the cover which is what the cover usually is when the bar has a live band. Naturally at this point i confronted the door man and he got all scared and didn't know what to say because he knew he f up. He tried to give my brother his money back in order resolve the issue after we decided to go somewhere else, but it didn't work. That door man is just lucky I'm not the person i used to be. What business lets there employees try to rob people who just wanna have fun...?

I've always been treated with the upmost respect just like everyone that goes there. My husband and I have been going to there since it became the Nowhere Bar. Sky definitely kept that place in order. George make's sure everything is run smoothly. He is really a great guy.
