Cutters Pub

Cutters Pub at 120 E Clayton Street is downtown Athens, GA's self described favorite pub, and with a 4.3 star rating across more than 112 reviews, the regulars seem to agree. The bar operates from the heart of the Clayton Street nightlife strip with multiple spaces: a main bar area, a pool table section, and an upstairs tiki oasis that adds an unexpected layer to the experience. The beverage program goes well beyond basic drafts, featuring specialty cocktails, an extensive Georgia craft beer list, and an impressive bourbon program with hand selected barrels and rare allocations.
