re: Athens, GA....Planning our trip for Sept. 28th LSU/UGA

I mean with the exception of 2-3 bars, they're all geared for the college crowd since that's obviously their target crowd.

My favorites are Allgood, Boar's Head, Arch Bar, Magnolias, Double Barrel, and Generals. 9D's or Cloud are decent places to take a girl to dance or to go have a random makeout session with a single girl if you've struck out. Freshman with bad fake IDs usually go to Whiskey Bent or Silver Dollar. All this said though, you literally can bounce around from bar to bar until 2am. It's rare that we stay at a bar for more than a drink or two, we usually get one somewhere and then go check out who's at the next place. That can be a pain with gameday crowds though.

Honestly I've never dealt with hotels in Athens on gameday. All of the football roadtrips I went on I usually just had a high school friend going to the school and I crashed at their place. Maybe see if you have a friend going with you who knows a student. I doubt you'll get anything on campus or downtown, but there are hotels on the other side of Athens that are probably a 10 minute ride to downtown. I'd start calling soon because those may fill up/be full. I guess Lawrenceville or Commerce would be the closest places with hotels that aren't in Athens and both are 30ish minutes away.
