Any recommendations for a nice restaurant to eat at tonight? Will probably be 7:30ish dinner and then would like to hit up 2-3 places before it gets crazy downtown.

Big wig from Texas athletics will be picking up our bill

Porterhouse Grill. Great Steaks and sides.

Agreed... being a Friday without reservations may want a plan B if wait is too long. Other awesome downtown options are:

5 - Great ribeye and the Uptown Shrimp is best appetizer ever

Last Resort Grill - Great menu

South Kitchen - get the shrimp and grits!

If you stick with Porterhouse and like adult beverages, do yourself a favor and get a Double Barreled Cannon cocktail. Best signature cocktail in town. Spin off of an Old Fashioned.

I went to Porterhouse last month and they were 'out' of every single one of their signature cocktails- how is that possible?

Pick up a 24 pack of keystone light and head to Cali n Titos. Tell him it’s a little slice of being an undergrad at the greatest university in the US of A.

The National's upscale. Consistently good. Porterhouse and Hilltop are two of my favorites, although service is hit and miss. Typical for college town.

Odd... only thing I can think of is they marinate peaches in Bourbon and either molasses or brown sugar and probably bitters. Maybe they had a run on their Dbl Brl Cannons and were out of peaches.

If you want to spend money and like seafood, Seabear. Cant beat it.

Whenever we got a babysitter in athens, straight to Seabear.

$eabear. Expect to drop 200.

Don’t know how these people drive this shite everyday. Traffic is miserable getting over to Athens. Picking the rest of the crew up from Stegmann at 7:30 and it will have taken 2 hours to get here.

They ran out of it when they saw your ugly face walk in the door.

He was probably shitfaced. Bartenders tell customers they are out of everything when they don't want to overserve someone.

Grindhouse is pretty solid but Clocked is good too (though Clocked will make and serve your food when they damn well feel like it, and it’s downtown so probably going to be a bit more busy on a Friday night).
