The Best Bars in Athens | Eater Atlanta

"On any given Saturday night, Walker’s feels like your typical dive bar. But by day, this wood-panelled institution is a haven for beer lovers and coffee drinkers alike. Raised booths are filled with students hunched over laptops, sipping espresso drinks, and the hidden back patio provides a private enclave for conversation and hot chocolate concoctions. The Salty Turtle (hot chocolate, Godiva chocolate liqueur, Stoli vanilla vodka, caramel drizzle, and sea salt) in particular has been the budding foodie’s first legal drink of choice for well over a decade. When the sun starts to set, head to Blue Sky Bar through Walker’s back door and up a flight of stairs. The hidden gem boasts over 250 craft and import beers, a full bar serving classic cocktails, and a breezy atmosphere complete with twinkling Italian lights and outdoor seating." - Sarah Bisacca
