Jackie O's Public House

We were in town visiting our college student and took her out to dinner along with my parents. It was a Thursday at 5:30 and we were able to get right in with a group of 5. All of our food was delicious, restaurant was adorable and waitress was attentive.

Great pub in uptown Athens. Good sized dining room. There's a bar in the back corner. We order a flight of beer and an appetizer (hummus which was very good). Later we ordered a pizza, and it was very good. The beer is amazing. Standard beer plus super barrel aged beers. My favorites were the barrel aged Dark Apparition.and Temple of Minerva. Beware that they are masters at masking alcohol in their beer, so pay attention to ABV.Pleasant staff, delicious food and great beer. Definitely will be back.

Absolutely delicious. Quick service and a great food experience. I haven't been here since I graduated 8 years ago, and it felt like home! The wings were a perfect appetizer. Delicious buffalo sauce and tasty pairing with my razz wheat beer. For lunch I had the bison meatloaf sandwich. The meatloaf was loaded with flavor, tender, and plentiful. The bread had a nice herby taste. Everything was fresh and tasty! My wife loved her tacos. The skirt steak was tender and flavorful. The nostalgia ran deep. The flavor ran strong. And the vibe ran happy. I loved every minute of this lunch!

Over 42 years ago, when I could not be found at Swanky's that is, my favorite bars were Bojangles and O'Hooley's, which Jackie's O's continues to honor with their delicious Irish Dry Stout, which is called -- wait for it -- O'Hooley's. The Bartenders and staff at Jackie O's Public House and Taproom are the absolute greatest and most interesting people that I have ever met. The Locals too are second to none; in fact, most every Friday at 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon, one can find one of Athens, Ohio's greatest and most colorful Ambassadors in the form of Charles "Chip" Rogers, who is a local legend who represents all that is good about Athens. He and his equally entertaining Entourage are always welcoming and friendly. When I think of what the Heart and Soul of Athens, Ohio is, I find that it can be found at none other than Jackie O's.

Jackie O's fantastic brews and service. Megan L. was our server and was pleasant, friendly and so very kind. Lunch time in a college town can be crazy but it was delightful at Jackie O's. The ambiance was relaxing and enjoyable. Our Fish and Chips were more than enough to eat. The spicy tartar sauce was excellent and Megan also provided Malt Vinegar. We will be back!

Great beers.... Food is very good. Friday evening is busy. Street parking . Beers are famous.

Meh. Food was cold and service slow. Bright side, our server was very nice. We'd probably not visit again.

Jackie babe, little miss O... what's going on? This place is a vibe, but the food babe? Jackie, oh no.

It was just ok....service, drinks and food. Probably won't be a repeatThe kiddie size drinks with a regular size priceMore mingling than servicing

I dropped my daughter off for school today. Her first college bar (kind of)!!! The place looks great and the staff is very friendly. I've had the beer before, so I knew that would be good. The food I wasn't sure about, but it was excellent. High-end bar food is hard to beat. Everyone was happy. The pizzas are great and the Portobello sandwich looked good too. Next time I come to visit I'll have to try some new things.
