Things To Do
University of Georgia
The Arch, the Chapel, Sanford Stadium, the Georgia Museum of Art - UGA's campus has plenty to see. We recommend a stroll through North Campus, starting on Broad St. at the Arch.
Firefly Trail
The Firefly Trail is a gorgeous pedestrian and bike trail that runs through Athens and the UGA Campus. There are several entry points - check out the map at the link!
T.R.R. Cobb House
We've got a girl on the inside! Our very own Ashleigh Oatts runs the Cobb House. If you would like an exclusive tour of the home during your time in Athens, she will give tours on the hour from 10 a.m. - 1p.m. on Friday. Contact her at aoatts@trrcobbhouse.org for more info!
Creature Comforts
We went here on our first date! Creature Comforts is an Athens staple. It's directly across the street from our church (the Ceremony spot). You may have seen Thor drinking a Creature Comforts' "Athena" in Avengers: Endgame.
UGA Golf Course
Book a tee time at the UGA Golf Course. If you're looking for a real challenge, check out our next recommendation.
Strange Duck Mini Golf
We went here on our third date! It's a fun and funky spot to play a round of mini golf. It doubles as a brewery and an amateur Razor scooter track. You have to see it to believe it.
ZZ & Simone's
We went here on our second date! It's a cute and cozy Italian spot. Surprising recommendation: the Lemon Pizza.
Osteria Olio
Located in the "townie" corner of Athens, this hotel, restaurant, and spa is the perfect treat-yourself spot.
Cafe Racer
Cafe Racer biscuits and breakfast burritos are truly life-changing. Their coffee and donuts are also can't-miss events. Hit up the drive-thru if you can!
Hidden Gem
Located in the artsy part of town, Hidden Gem is a cute cocktail lounge with top-notch drinks.
Trappeze Pub
Trappeze is a high-quality crowd favorite. They've got delicious burgers, sandwiches, and their famous truffle fries (ask for all three sauces when you order).
South Kitchen + Bar
South Kitchen (located downtown) is a top choice for lunch, dinner, and drinks.
Terrapin Beer Co.
Located a little outside of town, Terrapin's Taproom is a roomy indoor-outdoor space to relax.
Cali 'N' Tito's
There's nothing quite like it! Cali 'n' Tito's is another Athens staple. They can't keep the Steak Cubanos or the Fish Tacos in stock! There are two locations (Lumpkin St. is close to downtown and campus, but smaller. Cedar Shoals is further out, but bigger.)
