Tony's Tavern

This place sucks. The bartenders act like they're doing you a favor when they finally serve you. God forbid you interrupt a conversation they're having to get service after being repeatedly ignored. Go to The Skull! The owner and people there are very cool.

Tony's is always the spot for darts and hot nuts! Every time I am back in Athens Tony's is worth a stop. The only down side to Tony's is if you are not a regular is takes a LONG time to get served or cashed out sadly. There has always seemed to have favoritism.

As a student at Ohio University, I went to Tony's often. And every chance I get to make it to Athens, I always go to Tony's. Still the same as it was 35 years ago when I was a student!!!! I will love Tony's FOREVER!!!

I went to OU back in the 90s, and this was my spot when my taste got a bit more sophisticated. Great bar, on the divey with pride side. Prices are great, didnt double on the rolling rock since last time I went in 1993! So glad its stuck around over the years. On my short list next time I return to Athens.

Stop in relax and ask your barkeep for a "Hot Nut."You will not be disappointed. If you like coffee and hazelnut (even if you don't like hazelnut) this item is amazing.

I usually love going to Tony's for a hot nut shot on my nights out. However, last night when i went into the establishment the bartender screamed at us to put our masks on, we were trying to look for our friend who was missing and she didn't even ask politely before resorting to screaming. After she screamed at us she proceeded to talk poorly about us to the customer at the bar. i found it extremely rude, not only were there no mask signs anywhere to be seen upon entering, it was so uncalled for for yelling at us.

Tony's is a home away from home. Never really got into it until after I moved away, but now, we try to say hi to Tony every time we visit Athens. It's the characters that make the experience, and Tony is the Best!!!Try the hot nuts, or several.All kinds can come to this watering hole and be perfectly comfortable.

Tony's Tavern is the one bar that stands out in my memory, after visiting a handful during my one weekend in Athens. While the whole weekend was somewhat of a blur, I do remember the divey atmosphere of Tony's Tavern and the fact that there was ample standing room unlike other bars in the area.I also remember the warm "Hot Nuts" shots, which were different but delicious. I believe they consisted of hot coffee and hazelnut liqueur. They were under $2. If you're in Athens and are looking for a bar that stands out from the rest, Tony's Tavern is a good choice.

this is one of my favorite bars in athens ~ but when my friend went up to the bar to order a drink for herself and me with the appropriate identification, the bartender said she wouldn't serve us. When I went up to the bar (with my ID that she had already been shown, paying for a tab I myself had opened) she proclaimed loudly that she wouldn't serve me. I said that's fine I just need to pay my tab. I have never been treated so poorly, and I am so disappointed :( I just wanted to have a good night out and instead I was publicly embarrassed.

Cold at night? Looking to warm up? Go to Tonys for a Hot Nut.Or wait...nooo.... You do not like the grade in your history class? Dr. Smith may be here waiting for you to talk to him about your grade. Give Tonys a try!
