The Gist:
Where to watch Georgia v. Alabama on Saturday
1. Midway Pub
2. Grindhouse
3. Taco Mac
4. Steinbeck's / Universal Joint
5. The Albert
đşÂ If you donât have a ticket to the game, we rounded up some spots to watch tomorrowâs SEC Championship. If you want some local Athens flavor, head up to the Classic City for a Classic City Lager at Creature Comforts Brewery (above) or the nearby Georgia Theater.
In Atlanta, here are some local favorites:
â The Midway Pub: An East Atlanta Village staple with good food, a long bar always full of great people, ample TVs at multiple angles, and a dog-friendly patio.Â
⥠Grindhouse Killer Burgers: With locations across Atlanta and Athens, the folks at Grindhouse have created one of the most enjoyable game day experiences around. Each locationâs patio has a distinct vibe, and they are all great for watching sports.Â
⢠Taco Mac: With locations across metro Atlanta, this wings staple has reinvented itself in recent years, but still delivers the quintessential game-day experience: big TVs, myriad wing sauce combinations, and lots of local beer.
⣠Steinbeckâs / Universal Joint / The Companion: Oakhurstâs one-two punch of Steinbeckâs and Universal Joint has been a long-time staple for game day. Thereâs a dichotomy between the elevated food and beer at Steinbeckâs and the more approachable patio experience at U-Joint. If youâve got a big group of friends (and opinions), theyâll find a good home at either of these places. Donât miss Chef Andy Gonzalezâs umami fries and Vietnamese chicken wings at Steinbeckâs.
Pro tip: His new concept, The Companion, is a requisite visit if youâre visiting the new Westside Park.
⤠The Albert: Located in Inman Park, The Albert brings lots of fun game-day vibes. Itâs a classic neighborhood industry haunt where you can go in and grab a couple of pints, some smoked wings, catch the game, and leave with a few new friends. And their diner burger just may be the best in town. Â
