The Old Pal

In a destination known for its bars and nightlife, The Old Pal has made a name for itself in Athens with a thoughtfully curated menu of seasonal cocktails, craft beers, and Old World wines along with a well-rounded list of whiskey and amari. The Old Pal is located in the Normaltown neighborhood inside an award-winning historically preserved storefront. Since opening in 2013, The Old Pal has routinely received national acclaim. It's been named one of the “South’s Best Bars” by Southern Living Magazine and has also been recognized by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution as "Best of the Southeast." It's received even more press from the likes of The Washington Post, Tales of the Cocktail, and Punch. Locals love The Old Pal, too: it's been named "Athens Favorite Bar for Specialty Drinks" for 7 years in a row by the readers of Flagpole Magazine, Athens’ alternative weekly newspaper.
