Reviews from our guests
Tracy Carroll
6 years agoA true family kind of place. Well, if it’s the Manson Family. But seriously, the Chipmunks are delicious, the bartenders are jovial, and the music is fun. If you’re lucky, you’ll see a famous face or two.
Kerry Norris
4 years agoKatie was a great bartender! Loved the dive bar feel. As "old folks" in down town Athens, we felt right at home!! We'll be back!
St Pariah
4 months agoReally nice staff. This is my go to bar. No frills. Just casual come as you are, do as you may attitude. The staff is full of beautiful and handsome characters that not only do their job but go out of their way to protect their customers. Couldn’t recommend this place more because they only go to 5 stars instead of 6 or 7.

4 years agoPopular locals bar located beside the best pizza in Athens. Cheap drinks, good crowd, and friendly service. Occasional live bands on stage. If you're looking to get away from overpriced college bars and still remain downtown, look no further than The Roadhouse.
Daisha Campbell
year agoI went for a dinner date . Had a great waiter, and the food was amazing .It's a very sporty place and a little loud . But if you go there you will have a good time .
Gina Gorman
3 years agoIt’s a must! Stopped in while visiting daughter at UGA. She stayed out with friends and we stopped in on way back. Great live music, awesome bartenders, classic dive bar feel and wide range of ages!!! Wish we had more places like this up North!
chad doncaster
year agoBartenders were usually quick with drinks but we swamped that place with people in its off season so they did great.
Katherine Ennis
year agoWish I could give this bar above five stars! I don’t know why anyone would go to the other 70 bars in town with Roadhouse’s amazing staff, music, and NAPKINS! My biggest regret through college is not going to Roadhouse earlier!! Shot recommendation: Chipmunk!

Pamela Chastain
year agoSo thrilled you are bringing the band Chelekis the 20th. They are one of the hottest new Indy like acts in Atlanta. Most excited and will bring in a large group. Checked out their song Problamatic on Apple Music today. For sure super stars in the making!! Thank you
