the georgia theatre

I've seen so many shows here by now that it almost feels like a second home. One of the best under 1000 capacity rooms anywhere. I've enjoyed shows from both the floor and the balconies. Love the atmosphere, the acoustics, the bar servings, and the rooftop bar. The only possible knock I could think of would be having a bit better set-up for merchandise and the fact that one time we had a delay in getting will call tickets that led to people who bought tickets for a pre-sale not being allowed in until ten minutes after the venue opened (lost all the best seats, pre-sale was supposed to guarantee EARLY entry.)

Been in Athens since 2003, and the 'new' theater and renovations made after the devastating fire years ago are phenomenal. The acoustics are great. There isn't really a bad spot to see the show. It's super convenient to get drinks at every level of the theater. The roof top bar is a must and sold out shows are shown on the monitors there. All around just a pleasant experience for any type of show or UGA game.I highly recommend going to the roof top for lunch during the spring and fall months.

Great place for concerts - acoustics sound awesome. Saw Dave Matthews Cover Band and many others there. Must see if your favorite band is playing there

We saw Zoso there (twice, actually - once before it burned down and once after it was renovated), and it was awesome both times. I love this venue, and the acoustics are great.

This trip was for a private event at Georgia Theatre. The food was great. The Swinging Medallions played and are always a great band to dance to. The rooftop on Georgia Theatre is a fun place to hang out on a warm evening in Athens.

I was looking forward to a show at the Theatre for the first time since the renovation. Yes it looks nice, but the sound where we were sitting upstairs was awful. It wasn't just us; others sitting around us were also upset about the sound quality. A couple of us went down and talked to someone at the sound board during the break, but he just seemed surprised and said "it varies with different shows." I'd have to guess that it's the tall, narrow layout along with the exposed brick that muddies the sound terribly. Yes, it's a cool aesthetic, but for a $30 dollar ticket it was not worth the price for someone there for the music.

1st stop on first visit was rooftop bar. Bar was cool, beer was cold. Really wanted to eat there but friends wanted something else. When the wife and I go back, we are doing lunch for sure. Food looked good and seemed like those around enjoyed it and got it fast. Man, I like this place!

The rooftop at the Georgia Theatre is a little known diamond in the Athens restaurant scene. The burgers here are phenomenal!!! I went here with my family after reading some of the reviews. I was amazed to find that their burgers are in the same vain as Holman & Finch in Atlanta (indeed the menu mentions that the bread was made by the Atlanta restaurant). And boy did those burgers not disappoint, they were juicy and full of flavor. Plus, the drink selection and the view make this place a must eat for anyone in Athens.

Went to the rooftop for drinks and saw a cover band in the venue. Loved everything about it!!!!Go here for drinks during the day or night for a great experience

The food was good but the rooftop atmosphere and alcoholic beverage was great! We enjoyed a relaxing lunch on the roof overlooking Athens with a nice cold drink on a warm spring day. A little crowded at times so be prepared to wait for an open table. No one seats you so it's first come first serve and you order at the bar.

To come to Athens and not go to the Georgia Theater is a travesty! The refurb is terrific with the new upstairs and rooftop bars.

I went to watch a movie with my granddaughter and the cinema staff was so warm and inviting to me. I loved the buttered popcorn that was done just right and the theatre wasn't over crowded and there was no noise during the movie. Although I have forgotten the name of the movie, I will always remember Athens Ga. I moved there shortly after the movie thing. I then moved back nearly a month later. But the other attractions such as the state homes and the restaurant and the sores were all so happening and I liked it. But my foremost and first heart will be Savannah Chatham County. Athens will e number two!

Always great music. Terrific rebuild after fire few years ago and an always fun rooftop bar with food and live music as well. Great Acts every night.

great roof-top bar and restaurant. food is limited but good. not enough seating inside but a fun venue for bands. cleaner and better since renovations.

I was in town for a meeting and wanted to experience the atmosphere of the Georgia Theatre. The show and crowd was great. Love The Roof Top restaurant.
