People outside of Georgia seriously think that Atlanta is the only place you can have fun at in the whole state and that is completely wrong. There are other major cities in the state of Georgia and they have some great bars/pubs to have a drink. Here are some of the best bars/pubs in the state outside of Atlanta.

Athens

Home of the Georgia Bulldogs and considered to be one of the college towns in America. There is a plethora of bars in the downtown area that you can choose and we actually wrote about what each bar probably says about you. There are over about 80 bars in Athens to choose from and they’re pretty fun to go to. Here are a couple of them that you should consider.

Trappeze Pub

Exactly how a pub in a college town should be. With a huge selection of beers on tap and in bottles all at your disposal, Trappeze can satisfy the thirstiest of any college student with ease. Make sure you take off work or skip class.
