The Plate Sale At Hendershot's

Discovered via Garden Gun, the owners here have secrets to success thru progressive food collective ideas with farm to table local community as a base... personally, I'll be hopin' for a biscuit piled high wit' fried shrimp red pepper jam and potato doughnuts wit' salted caramel!

I came here to pick up some coffee and other treats while walking around with some of my friends from Bumble and it was so easy to go inside and order quickly! The staff is super sweet and there is limited capacity to maintain social distancing.

What a horrible experience. For ages I've noted that good musicians played here from time to time. So, I decided I'd try it and see the Solstice Sisters on the Winter Solstice. How cool does that sound? Bought a ticket online, had to pay to park. Couldn't go in the door nearest the parking lot, but instead was routed through some kind of stinky wood smoke. Arrived 20 minutes before the show, which was outrageously oversold. There were no seats; there was no place to stand; there was a line of more than 20 people waiting to get a drink at the bar. I stood in line for more than 10 minutes and it barely moved. At that point, particularly because I couldn't stand for 2 hours and because there was no place to stand even if I could, I requested a refund. Well, what do you know? No refunds. So I threw and time out the window for a rather sucky solstice. Yuck! ADDENDUM: After submitting an e-mail complaint online where I had purchased my ticket, I recieved the response that I would receive a refund. Would rather have seen the show, but I certainly appreciate the response and the gesture.

Always my favorite coffee shop turned bar after hours to visit when I'm in Athens. This particular weekend, after a disappoint Georgia loss to South Carolina, I wanted to check out this place that was far from the chaos of downtown Athens. It's definitely more of an Athens towny restaurant that's great to have group meetups, see live music, comedy shows, etc. This particular day when I went, there was a Jazz show. I didn't want to attend the show, but they allowed people to sit outside and you could still basically hear the Jazz from the courtyard seating. It was very pleasant! For my drinks I ordered a Guinness stout which was poured a little wrong, so I had to wait for it to settle for about 5 minutes before I could drink it. I also ordered the Angry pirate which was a chai latte with rum, but the drink was a little too strong for my liking and tasted like it only had a hint of chai in it. Overall solid experience, but I would maybe recommend their coffee drinks over their cocktails!

Cool hang out place both during the day or night. They serve both coffee and beer/wine. Smaller venue and they typically have cheap or free events during the week, like Open mic night and stand up comedy. Parking is the only issue. I hear you can park at the church for free, but the parking lot designated for the bottleworks is slightly expensive... especially if you are intending to spend the entire evening there for one of the events. You'll spend around $5 for parking for 3 hours.
