Out of town tailgate experience for Kentucky game--RECAP

Bourbon. Lots of bourbon.

From which direction are you walking the 1.5 miles in?

Perfect.

Stop at the shell station for dip, beer, and $100 from the ATM.

Walk to Cali n Tito’s for some excellent cuban food.... cash only and byob (that’s why you stop at the Golden pantry first)


Eat your food before it gets cold and drink your beer before it gets warm , make friends with strangers.

Get to-go cups, pour beers in them, go down Lumpkin toward stadium and stumble through some tailgates.

Separate post coming for after-game

Fat finger down vote on you deep rig should have been an up vote .. love the Cuban food

First thing you have to know is that less than two weeks ago we were here for MNF:



But now onto our UGA recap! Had an amazing trip. First stop was the bookstore after a 10 hour drive, got rewarded by seeing Hairy Dawg and the greatest mascot of all time.




Game day! Went ahead and took some deep rig advice to start off

Skip ahead a bit we hit the dawg walk , tossed a game of cornhole with a cool couple from Augusta and got to our seats at about 3.

Was good to be back in Athens as the last couple of games we've caught have been on the road. Amazing seats. Amazing seniors.



With no post game suggestions given we went and rang the bell got on a 2.5 hour wait at Transmet (great pizza) and killed time during our wait stopping in at cloud , cutters and a moonshine bar. (Was a good reminder that we are old now haha) and finally walked it back from downtown and did the 10 hour drive back Sunday.

Go Dawgs!

Haha, I was at transmet, too. Probably my favorite pizza in Athens. Their Sicilian pizza is fricking great. We had a drunk kid sit down at our table on Saturday, pass out, briefly wake up, take a bite of my friend’s pizza, and then we had to kick him out.

Glad you went to Cali N Tito’s. Such an awesome place. It is probably the place that miss the most since leaving Athens 11 (gulp) years ago.

at the guy woke up ate some of your pizza.

My wife got to chatting with the owner at transmet for a good 15-20 minutes, was kinda wild -- at the end we get our bill - 4$ - needless to say we left a fat tip.

Cali and Titos was good fun and good food. I actually enjoy the byob aspect and it let us chill some before the game with no pressure to leave.

I travel to Ashburn once or twice a year for work, I need your advice for things to do that won't raise red flags on my Amex.

Hit me up when one of those trips gets closer, it's not exactly my neck of the woods but my company HQs is there so I know my way around

Did they lose their liquor license od did they never have one?

It's always been BYOB.

something about being too close to a school to have a liquor license...

Doesn't make sense, the burger place down the street even closer to campus sells beer. The seafood place across the street, Marker 7, absolutely sells liquor.

I think they just don't want the hassle, cost, and upkeep of dealing with a liquor license and an alcohol distributor, in addition to the fact it is counter service, and people getting back in line to get another beer would just clog up the line, so they'd have to make two registers and have someone actually pouring drinks, whereas right now it is self serve.... the owners probably don't want to deal with the hassle when they've already got a good thing going.
