About Copper Creek Brewing Company
Copper Creek Brewing Company on E Washington Street in downtown Athens rounds out the local brewery scene with house brewed beers and Southern influenced pub fare in a no frills taproom setting. With 134 reviews at 4.2 stars, the brewery has maintained a steady following among beer enthusiasts who appreciate an unpretentious place to try locally made beer. The beer lineup features house brewed selections that rotate with the seasons, giving regulars a reason to check back and see what is new on tap. The brewing style leans into accessible, drinkable beers that appeal to a broad audience rather than the experimental extremes. The pub fare from the kitchen complements the beer with hearty, Southern influenced dishes that satisfy. The E Washington Street location puts Copper Creek right in the downtown Athens nightlife zone, making it an easy stop on a bar crawl or a starting point for an evening out. The taproom atmosphere is casual and comfortable, with the kind of worn in character that comes from years of actual use. Copper Creek Brewing is open for lunch and dinner. The brewery provides a more laid back alternative to the higher profile breweries in Athens, with a focus on the beer and food rather than the experience surrounding them.

Place was dead at 6pm on Sunday but we had a very friendly waitress that was a lot of help. Went there for the Belgian Dip sandwich but they were out. Tried their pumpkin ale and it was much better than expected. Bison burger with mushroom and jalapeno was good and chicken tenders were delicious and perfectly fried. Fries were great and dipping sauce had amazing flavor. Too pricey for such small portions but good quality food and cool atmosphere.

The house brews are pretty good. The Brown is nothing to write home about but easy drinking but their Porter was definitely better than average. The burger and fries were decent. My wife got sangria which was passable (that's actually high praise). It was quieter than I expected for a Friday when we arrived but the bar was packed by the time we left but you could probably still get a table immediately to eat the whole time. They were clearly understaffed but they made it work so we hardly noticed.

Service was super slow. We considered just walking out. Other tables seated after us finished their food before we received ours. We ordered an appetizer that never came, and the waitress said she never even wrote it down. Chicken tenders were gross. Shrimp and grits were unlike any I have ever seen before. It was spaghetti sauce with shrimp and sausage with a small side of grits. The beer wasn't cold and not even served in a cold glass although a frozen glass was requested. Not sure how this place got a 4.2 rating.
