About this venue

The Texan was first established as a movie theater in 1948. It’s popularity and reputation spans the ages. With the exciting reestablishment of The Texan in the heart of downtown Athens, not only will the current generation and generations to come have a chance to bring The Texan back to its glory through the live music experience, but we believe that The Texan will be the catalyst for the revitalization of downtown Athens as a whole. Come out and see for yourself what steps the City of Athens has taken to bring this landmark venue back to life!
