I accidentally went into to Boneshakers in Athens in the late 90's. I had to pay a cover charge so I stuck around long enough to drink a few beers before exiting quietly and untainted, never to return. Funny thing is, they didn't check ID's, not at the door and not at the bar, they wanted young dumb boys to stumble in.

My first date in Athens was at Boneshakers.
I met a girl at orientation and we hit it off waiting between periods.
She invited me out to Boneshakers on Hancock. I was new to Athens but my roommates were older so i knew what i was getting into. It turned out to be me and about 4 of her girlfriends.
We had a good time (i.e. it was funny in there). But it isn't hard to find strange that isn't so strange in Athens. She wasn't worth the effort to fight through 4 cockblockers.
It's been a minute since I was 18. I'm pretty sure we were all carded and X'd. 18+ bar. But nothing like OMalleys or Sky's Place or Abilene or Lowry's. Needless to say, I never went back (despite it being hilarious and probably fun/funny on a buzz).

It's a Hall County water park but expensive enough to weed out 99% of the undesirables. Some still slip through the cracks, slip and fall money I suppose. In-park food was garbage, worse than quick trip. The main restaurant just outside the waterpark gates was actually really good. Landshark Bar and Grill i think the name is. More later for posterity.

I'm back home now.
Overall impression-
Extremely over-priced for what it is.
All employees, from the janitors to the managers give you the chick fil a treatment at all times, which was really the highlight. Accomodations were average, not bad, but average, but for the cost it is insane.
Dog-friendly is a bonus, most places aren't.
Sidney's wasn't open for lunch or dinner yet, too early in the year, but the breakfast was very average. "Slightly above Shoney's" is my wife's quote and it was just a buffet.
Speaking of average, the recommended place in this thread "Bare Bones" which requires a 20 minute drive to Buford and dealing with that traffic hell, I had a reservation for, it was also slightly above average.
