The Best Bars in Athens | Eater Atlanta

"This Normaltown lounge is that effortlessly cool bar where you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first visit. The retro diner vibe with its checkered floors, funky art, and cozy booths makes it perfect for lingering over drinks and vegan (or not) bites. The craft beer selection is the draw here, with 16 taps swapped out every two weeks or so for an ever-changing lineup. Sips range from a limoncello cider to a velvety stout, with just about anything in between, plus more than 40 canned and bottled varieties. Throw in a chill, unpretentious crowd and a handful of unique cocktails (try the Japanese Breakfast with fermented wisteria flowers and gin), and it’s easy to see why Hi-Lo is a local favorite." - Sarah Bisacca
